The North Face makes technical outerwear that has become street outerwear: the Nuptse, the Denali, the Mountain Jacket, the 1996 puffer. It is engineered for a mid-layer underneath and a range of motion that has nothing to do with how you will actually wear it.

Puffers in particular are the single worst category to buy from a product photograph. Loft adds real volume to a silhouette, and how much it adds to your silhouette is not something a flat shot conveys.

What to try on first

  • The Nuptse and 1996 puffers, where loft changes your whole outline
  • Shell jackets and the Mountain Jacket family
  • Fleece — Denali, Osito and the retro pile pieces
  • Insulated parkas in full length

How The North Face sizing actually behaves

The North Face outerwear is cut for a layer underneath, so it wears roomier than a fashion equivalent at the same size — sizing up for the oversized look is usually unnecessary. Sleeves are cut long deliberately, for reach. The women's line is cut closer than the men's at equivalent sizing.

How it works

  1. Pick a fit

    Browse or search more than 400,000 pieces from brands like COS, Nike, Aritzia and Reformation — in plain English, filtered by vibe — or open a product you already found elsewhere.

  2. Add your photo

    Use one full-length photo. Utopia builds a fit model from it — a reusable likeness that keeps your face, body and proportions — which takes about 40 to 70 seconds, once.

  3. See it on you

    One tap and Utopia tailors the garment onto you with true fabric, drape and lighting, in about 30 to 60 seconds. Save the look, share it, or send it to a friend before you buy.

The North Face try-on questions

Can I try on The North Face jackets virtually?

+

Yes. The North Face is in the Utopia catalogue, so you can put a puffer or shell on a photo of yourself and see the actual volume it adds before ordering.

Does The North Face run big?

+

It is cut to fit a mid-layer underneath, so it wears roomier than fashion outerwear at the same size. Most people take their true size rather than sizing up.

Why are puffer jackets hard to buy online?

+

Insulation adds volume, and how much volume it adds depends on your own frame. A product shot on a studio model tells you what the jacket looks like — not what it does to your outline.

See The North Face on you, not on a studio model.
