Ordered: October 7th | Delivered: November 26th | Price: $58.72
This
is by far one of my biggest purchases I have ever made off AliExpress.
I knew going in I was taking a gamble by ordering this and hoping that
I would receive a somewhat quality product. Before
placing my order I had requested images from the seller and they
supplied images of the North Face logo which wasn't shown on the
sellers site. [see image below]

The
jacket arrived a little slower then I had expected but did show up
before winter. I am not sure where china got the design for this
product since I can't for the life of me find this product ever being
sold on the north face website or anywhere besides china for that
matter.
The jacket itself came with bells and whistles that I didn't expect to see built in on the jacket. I ordered a L at the suggestion of the seller himself, and is a bit on the snug size but works perfect. Some of the key features that really stood out to me at first were the pockets and zippers that cover the jacket. Two under arm zippers for ventilation work without question. I doubt I will ever have to use them but it was a nice added feature that goes along with the Summit Series jackets. Two hand pockets with zippers, an arm and chest pocket on the outside of the jacket are also a nice touch. The chest pocket even came with a zipper pull that contains the North Face logo on it. I was surprised to find this jacket with a built in powder skirt, such small details I never expected the jacket to include.
Pros
- Amazing replica for the price point
- Attention to small details throughout the jacket
- Overall look is appealing
Cons
- Poor North Face logo on the front and back.
- The zipper after time seems to have a white substance (maybe glue) on the zipper guard.
- The down itself I highly doubt is 550-fill as during cold winters I do still feel a chill with the jacket on.
