I bought the Arcata hoodie for my wife in neon peach. It is a nicely made article of clothing and I am well aware that I am paying for The North Face label.I am only giving this garment 2 stars for the following reasons:(1) The collar is awkward. It doesn't lay right. It looks uncomfortable to wear. I would find it annoying.(2) It was delivered in what appeared to be a factory-sealed bag with dessicant, but there was a stain on the collar. It appears to be a defect attributed to The North Face.(3) The black zipper with neon peach is too much of a contrast. It just doesn't look right.(4) Holy crap, have you seen neon peach??? You can't look at it too long or it will damage your eyes. I was expecting a cross between coral and soft pink. The photos on Amazon and The North Face websites are misleading. The garment looks nothing like the online photos. If my wife worked at a construction site, she could use this hoodie as a high-vis vest. I'm knocking a star off for misrepresentation, not the neon peach color.This hoodie is going back! Other than superb quality and a fancy label, I can do better at Kohls for a lot less.Love my new jacket!!! The style and fit are exactly what I was looking for...a jacket that was a little longer. The hoodie and zipper design allow me to keep the jacket away from my makeup.Great slim fit. Good quality jacket.Didn't work for me - every other size zip I own doesn't lay as awkwardly.It had black stains on the sleeve.
