A khaki The North Face women’s fleece jacket can be worn as a warm layer on a walk or as a casual outdoor jacket. However, not every fleece jacket is suited to the same conditions. For example, a style that feels comfortable on a walk around town might be too tight over a base layer or offer too little protection from wind and rain.
So don’t focus only on the colour or brand. Check the material and fit, and think about how you plan to wear the jacket.
Fleece is designed as an insulating layer, not as full protection from rain. The product information describes this style as a mid-layer that can be worn with a breathable, waterproof outer jacket. For changeable Dutch weather, it’s best to wear the fleece jacket under a hardshell or a suitable Triclimate jacket.
A size M can vary between brands and styles. The way you plan to wear the jacket also affects how roomy it needs to be. If you’ll be wearing a thermal top and a thin women’s fleece jacket underneath, extra room to move may be useful. For everyday wear, a standard fit may feel more comfortable and less bulky.
A thick fleece jacket can feel cosy on a gentle walk, but you may warm up quickly when hiking or climbing. Check whether it has a full-length zip, close-fitting cuffs and zipped pockets. These details affect how practical a women’s fleece mid-layer is in everyday use.
According to the product information, the jacket is made from 100% polyester fleece. This material is often used to provide warmth without the weight of a heavy winter coat. Bear in mind the difference between a fleece jacket and a lined or insulated jacket: fleece provides warmth, but generally offers less protection from the wind.
That’s why it’s important to pair a fleece for hiking and camping with an outer layer. In dry, cold conditions, you can wear the jacket on its own. In rain or strong winds, it’s better to add a shell.
The product description states that this style has a standard fit. The size chart lists chest, waist, hip and arm length measurements. For example, the chest measurement ranges from 30–31 inches for XXS to 47.5–50 inches for 3XL. Always check which unit of measurement is used on the product page, and compare it with a well-fitting jacket you already own.
When trying it on, check for:
The product information lists zipped pockets, a full-length zip and close-fitting finishes at the cuffs and hem. These are practical features for walking, travelling and everyday wear. You could use the pockets to carry a key, card or phone, for example, but check in advance that they’re big enough for what you need to carry.
Why it suits this profile: Size M is a practical choice if you’re looking for a standard fit for everyday wear, gentle walks and travel. The khaki stone/smoked pear colour works well with a range of outdoor and casual clothes.
The full-length zip makes layering easy. Zipped pockets help keep small items from getting lost in your rucksack. Bear in mind that you’ll still need a separate waterproof outer layer in the rain.

Why it suits this profile: This XL version offers more room for a base layer or a looser fit. It could be a good choice for longer walks, camping and wearing under a shell.
The roomier size helps prevent multiple layers from restricting your movement. Measure your chest and waist first, though; a larger size isn’t automatically more comfortable.

Why it suits this profile: The XS version is suitable if you’re looking for a closer-fitting layer without unnecessary bulk. It can be a practical choice for walking, travelling and staying active with a rucksack.
A well-fitting style that isn’t too roomy reduces excess fabric under an outer jacket. Be sure to check the sleeve length and chest measurement before ordering.

Always follow the care label on the garment. The product information recommends washing at a maximum of 40 °C with similar colours, turning the jacket inside out and using a mild detergent.
