Swallowtail Hoodie (Women's)

Sep 28, 2025

As a countermeasure against air conditioning

I bought size L for 161 cm.
The sleeve length is just right.
It doesn't feel tight even if I wear a thin long sleeve underneath.
When I tried it on in the store, M had short sleeves, and XL had sleeves that went down to my fingers.
It seems useful not only for air conditioning but also as a cover-up for chilly skin. I liked the bright color that can be used in spring and summer.

Just right

I bought it for my 6th grade son (140 cm) to wear during camping. Since there were no kids' sizes, I went with ladies' M, and it was just right without being too big.

Perfect for chilly times

It comes in handy when the air conditioning is strong on the train or in the airplane.
It can be folded compactly, and I always carry it in my bag!
I wanted to use it as a cover-up, so I found it a bit tight in size just right, so I went one size up.

Ideal for walking in midsummer

I bought it a few years ago and it got old, so I purchased another color this time. When walking on a hot summer day, wearing it over a short-sleeve T-shirt blocks the scorching sun and doesn't get stuffy, which is great. It’s also very handy to take out and wear quickly on slightly chilly days if I have it in my bag.

Suitable for both summer and winter

The lightness means I don't mind cramming it into the gaps of my backpack.
It helps with slight temperature adjustments.

The fabric is soft and smooth, making it feel nice.
It's thin, so it's also convenient for carrying.

Accompanying children outdoors

I'm going to the beach to accompany my child's activities. Considering the rising temperatures, I hope for a thin material.
It was perfect for blocking the wind while allowing humidity to escape. It can be compacted into the size of a palm inside the hood. It does get a bit wrinkled.

Very comfortable to wear

As spring arrives, for slightly chilly mornings and evenings, this is the best for when I want to wear something over. The elastic in the sleeves is surprisingly convenient when hand-washing, and I like that it's light and doesn't strain my shoulders. I want it in different colors. I bought an XL because I wanted a loose fit. It's a little big, but not excessively so.

Beautiful color

I was looking for a thin cover-up and found this beautiful gray-beige to purchase. It's also a bonus that it becomes compact and doesn’t take up much space when not in use.

Purchased a larger size

Since it's smaller in size, I wear XL loosely. It's essential for summer sunburn prevention, and I repurchased in different colors.

For walking

This is my third in a different color. The lining is comfortable against the skin and perfect. It's easy to wear over a short-sleeve T-shirt. Looking at the size chart, this product seems small, so I enjoy wearing XL loosely. It performs well in fall and spring.

Sun protection

It's too thin to be a windbreaker. It's just thick enough for summer, air conditioning, and sunburn prevention,
but it's light and comfortable.

Lightweight, easy to wear, and warm

This is already my fourth one. It's light, easy to wear, and serves as a windbreaker while being warmer than expected. I used it in the mountains, but recently I've been using it for commuting as well. The color is beautiful, and I'm in love with it again.

Repeat purchase

Re-purchase of the Swallowtail Jacket. I usually wear a ladies' M in other brands, but I sometimes feel that L is small in North Face. This time I was right to go with XL. I don't think it feels loose.

For a light cover-up

It wasn't as compact as I thought. However, it's reassuring to have during seasonal changes. The large pocket has a zipper, which was very useful during my trip.

Lightweight

I used a size S but wanted a little more room, so I went to the store to buy M. The staff recommended L, and although I was hesitant, I tried it on and found L to be just right for a relaxed fit. I received accurate advice.

Crisp feel

I bought an additional one. Compared to the previous model, it seems to have slightly larger sizing, and the fabric is a bit stiffer with a crunchy feel. It repels light rain and keeps me warm when worn; it's very useful for hiking.

Vibrant colors

I wanted a slightly looser fit, so I went with size M. The color is vibrant and it folds small and doesn't take up space, which is very good. Next, I want a basic color as well.

Light and compact!

I purchased a size L in Bearly Blue. Most of my outerwear is black, so I chose a refreshing blue. I think it's great for the upcoming season because it won't feel heavy and is excellent for cooling measures.

Refreshing blue

I bought Bearly Blue. The color was a refreshing blue with good coloring, just like the picture. I usually wear size S for t-shirts, but M is just right for outerwear. There are still some cold days, so it seems good for windproofing or wearing under a coat.

I'm sensitive to the cold, so I always keep it hidden in my bag! I got XL, but the arm length is just a little short.

Surprisingly compact

During seasonal changes when I'm unsure what to wear, I often wore a hoodie, but I had concerns about it being bulky when removed. However, it was extremely cold when I didn't have one, and that's when I discovered this jacket and was impressed. It becomes very compact, fitting easily in a small bag. Despite being thin and light, it also provides warmth, which is great. I'm glad I bought it.

Bought it for mountain hiking.

Last year, I bought black, but this time I purchased Kelp Tan for hiking. I received advice from the staff that black attracts flies and bugs. It's a beautiful color and easy to coordinate. It's light and compact. I wore it right away, and the weather was cloudy and a bit chilly, which was perfect. It suits my lifestyle well.

Warm even though thin

I purchased it for use as a windbreaker in spring and fall, and for rainy days. As soon as it arrived, I was going on a trip, and since it was predicted to rain, I wore it right away. It's very thin yet warm and lightweight, so it doesn't feel bulky, and it becomes very compact when removed; I'm glad I bought it. I think it will be good to layer with a long-sleeve T-shirt or sweater in the upcoming season.

I was torn between sizes M and L and ended up buying the larger size; it turned out to be just right.
