The North Face Fleeski ¼ Zip Pull Over

Review by Kate Agathon

The North Face Fleeski ¼ Zip Pull Over is a retro-influenced stylish fleece pull over in this season’s boxy cropped shape.

The relaxed fit top runs large, so order a size down (I typically wear a size Small and the size Extra Small fit me perfectly).

Constructed from 100 percent recycled polyester, the soft fleece hits the sweet spot of being not too thin and not overly thick like sherpa fleece.

The stand collar looked stylish and kept my neck toasty warm when I took the dogs for a walk outside on a recent bluebird winter morning.

I loved the contrasting patterned jacquard-tape trim along the front zip and hand pockets- it provided some rustic charm and gave a bit of structure to the pull over.

The embroidered logo on the left chest and back-right shoulder added a nice visual touch.

While I usually prefer jackets for layering and ventilation, the exposed center front zip was deep enough that it offered plenty of ventilation whenever I unzipped.

The two front hand pockets featured zippers and were pleasantly deep enough that they could accommodate my cell phone.

Additional features include an internal drawcord with cord locks and elastic-bound cuffs.

Overall, I liked The North Face Fleeski ¼ Zip Pull Over for its style, warmth and features.

The only issue I have with it is that the trendy crop hemline is shorter than it appears online. Even though I am petite and the pullover was standard size, the hemline was about 3 inches shorter than I prefer.

At first, I tucked my baselayer into the waist of my high waisted fleece leggings. But it looked kinda goofy, so I let it hang out underneath instead for a layered look.

Because of the shorter cut of the pull over, I will wear this mostly indoors.

Available in two colors (White Dune and TNF Black) and six sizes (XS to XXL), The North Face Fleeski ¼ zip pull over is soft and a trendy piece for your wardrobe this season.
