Men's Camo Thermoball Hoodie
Product details
Web ID: 8395664Does not stand up to the test of time
I used the jacket primarily for backpacking trips. I really think it was great for the first year and even part of the second year. After that, the condition of the insulation deteriorated quickly. How did it lose it's loft so much? If you look at all the baffles there are some that are so flattened it feels as if there is no insulation at all. Other baffles have clumped to where the insulation is all to one half and it is paper thin on the other half. All these flat/thin areas will lead to cold spots, and yes I have noticed that the jacket is not as warm as it once was. I have followed all proper washing and care instructions, only stuffed the jacket down a handful of times, and done a ton of research on how to properly care for this item. It just doesn't go back to what it once was. This was after minimal usage... I used the jacket only for hikes, not 'everyday use'. I thought washing down jackets was complicated, but it is actually super easy compared to this item. It is easy to break up clumps of down after washing and using the tennis ball method in the dryer. Not the case for ThermoBall insulation. Trying to break up these insulation clumps is impossible. In my opinion, for the simple fact that the insulation clumps and flattens so much, I cannot recommend this jacket. It does not seem sustainable to purchase a product that has such a short lifespan. Either that or TNF has to improve the durability of the insulation or provide more clear care instructions to extend the lifespan of this product.

Great product, minor defects
Great product received as a gift on my birthday as I tried it on zipping it up the zipper where it connected at the bottom completely ripped off the jacket, aside from that was a very nice jacket.

Great Warranty
This is my third thermo ball because I've had issues with the insulation bunching in the quilts. Great customer service and great warrant and I have gotten two new ones from them. I spent a $40 to upgrade to a jacket with a hood this time and I love it. Other than that ive only paid taxes and shipping.

It's very light and confortable
I am traveling to UK next month and I wanted a jacket that will be lightweight, and warm for all rhe climates that Uk has. I am very happy I choose this product because I will be warm and elegant at the same time.

Almost awesome, but hood sucks
I love almost everything about this jacket. Very comfortable, lightweight, warm, practical, kinda stylish. But there's a total fail with the hood: When you turn your head, the hood doesn't turn. It's stiff, there's no pull cord, so you just end up with your face against the inside of the hood. Especially bad walking across the street, otherwise just annoying.

Light, Attractive & Functional
Jacket is very stylish & stunning in person (TNF BLACK MATTE) also very light. I wanted something I can casually wear & provide me good warmth while being super light. I tested it out today in 30 degrees weather, thermoball kept me very warm, the built in handcuffs traps heat inside and its the perfect fit near the hand. The feel of the jacket worn in medium is the the perfect fit for someone who has a athletic build, 180lb weight.

I love North Face jackets
I used to not understand why North Face was so expensive until I had to spend two weeks in Seattle over the winter. I bought a North Face hoodie jacket and fell in love. It is light, but keeps me warm without being over warm. I even took it to Chicago in January and layered with a sweatshirt, i didn't need a big thick jacket. I am a true North Face believer now. I took my experience with my older jacket and bought this one for my girlfriend. She loves it!
