Generally, North Face clothing runs true to size, but their puffer jackets are often designed to fit more snugly to maximize heat retention.
This means you can typically order your usual size for a fitted look. However, consider the following:
-
Intended Use: If you plan to layer extensively underneath the puffer, you might want to consider sizing up to accommodate the extra bulk.
-
Specific Style: Fit can vary slightly between different North Face puffer jacket styles. Some are designed for a more athletic, slim fit, while others offer a more relaxed cut. Checking product-specific sizing information or reviews is always recommended.
-
Personal Preference: Ultimately, the best fit is a matter of personal preference. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, sizing up might be the best option for you.
To ensure the perfect fit, consider trying on the jacket in person if possible. If not, carefully review the size chart available on The North Face website and compare it to your own measurements. Pay attention to chest, waist, and sleeve length measurements for the most accurate sizing.
