Side by Side Comparison of: North End vs Wantdo

Loved this coat. I spent five days in Tahoe boarding and this was perfect. I was never cold with only a long sleeve shirt underneath. Loved the zipable pockets on the inside and outside. The removeable liner is nice and there are elastic topped mesh pockets inside too that were perfect for chapstick, headphones, etc. Great purchase. Only thing I didn't like it that the hood is small but it's easy to remove.

I purchased this jacket for my teenage daughter for snowboarding. She loves that it! It's not so bulky that you can't see she is a girl :) but it keeps her plenty warm. She even had to unzip a few times this winter when she got too hot. It has a inside pocket she can zip her cell phone into to keep it safe. I highly recommend this jacket!

I wore my coat snow skiing and kept nice and warm. It looks great.

I absolutely love this jacket! I am 5' 3" and 110 lbs and got a size small. I was able to wear under armour, two thick long sleeve shirts, and two hoodies underneath. The sleeves get thin at the wrist BUT it gave my snowboarding gloves room to cover the wrist area and fit snugly. I was not cold at all and I love the color. It was the perfect jacket for my first time snowboarding!

Love this jacket. Light weight and perfect for the winter months. I live in North Carolina and purchased this coat for a winter ski trip to the colorado mountains. It was PERFECT!! I ordered a Large because I am a bit wide around the hip area, plus wanted extra room to layer if needed.With this jacket and one thermal warming layer underneath, I was nice and toasty. I thought it safe to have two layers the first day, and I nearly overheated. 1 layer was enough in the single to teen digit temperatures. Great jacket!!

Lovely blue shade. bonus reflector stripes for better visibility. Inner mesh pockets for phone, keys,etc..and inner zippered pocket for better security. I love this coat and in 30 degrees with a light fleece top it is very adequate for outdoors. I bought it one size up. It is cut complimentary and is comfortable

I was leery to buy a jacket online without being able to try it on, as I knew I wouldn't have time before my trip to cold weather to do an exchange. I took a chance and was glad I did! It fit as expected, and kept me warm with a few added layers. My only complaint is that the hood is "short" and didn't cover my forehead so when I was walking in the snow flurries, the top of my head got wet.

I'm a wedding photographer, and sometimes I find myself having to shoot outdoors, in the rain, in the COLD weather. This jacket keeps me toasty warm, without being overly bulky. There are several pockets, which I find very useful, and I love the features that help to keep out the cold air. It's definitely very warm for being so light-weight. Love it!

Tighter on arms and chest, looser on stomach and waist ....Bought for my daughter....Other reviews said get a size larger ......She usually wears a large, but I got an xtra large......She is able to wear a sweatshirt under it.....A size large would probably be tighter on the arms and chest and fit better around the stomach and waist, but then with a sweatshirt under it would be too tight....She only likes Navy Blue which is hard to find, so this was perfect....Havent yet worn outside to test this ice cold bitter winter. Other than that she loves this jacket and will be keeping it..... Hurry up Winter and be over with ...

This coat is perfect. It's very warm and extremely comfortable. However for having it for less than 30 days the stitching on the zipper had already unthreaded. It's am easy fix but shouldn't already have to fix something less than 30 days in

I ordered a medium size so I can wear sweatshirts underneath it and it's pretty big. It almost fits like a large. But it's very comfortable, breaks the wind and is pretty warm. If you're looking for something to wear in 30 degrees or below, I wouldn't recommend this coat but with a nice layer underneath, it keeps me warm! The color is true to what I received, has a couple extra pockets on the inside of the coat as well which is nice to have! This is a must buy especially for the price!!

Other than it running a little small, it was exactly as described

I wanted a warm winter jacket and this definitely provides warmth - wore it in -4F (-20C) weather. There is a draw string around the bottom so if you wanted to prevent cold from sneaking up, you could tighten that. I found the sleeves were way too short for me (and I'm not a big person to begin with). I like to be able to bring my hands inside and close it off but that's not possible with this jacket. You have to wear gloves with it. There's velcro around the wrists though so you can tighten it around your gloves to prevent cold from seeping in.There are a few inside pockets which I really liked. One of the pockets on the inside has a zipper and also a place to run earbuds through. It looks like you can also vent it out a bit - there are zippers on the inside along the back. Guess it would be good if it was cold, but you were doing an activity that needed some ventilation.It's not very stylish. It doesn't hug your curves or make you look nice. It's pretty big. I ordered a small and could more than comfortable wear a large sweater as well. I was kind of hoping for something a little tighter so that I didn't get that "big, bulky winter jacket" look.Overall, if you're looking to stay warm (and prefer to wear gloves/mitts), it's a good purchase. I can definitely see the benefits of wearing this if you're a skiier.

The jacket is nice, but on my frame of 5.10 the sleeves and the jacket lengthwise was too short (in size M). I think L would of have been too wide of a fit.

Nice coat, sizing is terrible. Went by the reviews ordered a size larger than I usually do and it was still to small.v

The jacket arrived on time. My daughter will not even try it on because it smells like fish. I will be returning the jacket.

Mine arrived with a torn seam so it was returned. The jacket also came with a strong odor (similar to mothballs). However, the fit was cute. Little on the small size.

I mistakenly thought this was a North Face jacket. That's my own fault for not checking carefully. It's definitely waterproof, but the insulation isn't up to the level of a higher quality jacket. So it's a fine shell, but it's not going to get you through a cold winter unless you've got several base layers and a warm midlayer on underneath. I'm also not a huge fan of the zippers used--they've got some rough edges that need to be filed down, and they catch on the fabric.In summary: this jacket is fine for occasional skiing or rainy days, but I wouldn't recommend it as a solid winter garment.

Need to return

I am very disappointed with this order. I was very excited to order this ski coat for a ski trip, and based on several of the reviews, it seems to run small (one person even noted that the Small was too small for her 5'2 105lb daughter). So I did order the Small, I am normal size girl 5'2 and 110 lbs and I swimming in it. Its way to big across the chest, the waist, the body length and the arms. I contacted the seller to see if they could ship me an x-small within a week, and they responded that they could not guarantee shipment in that time frame. Its very unfortunate that this seller does not offer any other shipping options. I am returning it and will not be ordering a different one.

was expecting it to keep me warmer

I am returning this jacket. I saw that it ran small in the reviews, so I ordered it 2 sizes bigger than I am. It was still quite snug. The more concerning issue was the smell it had upon arrival. I thought my baby had pooped, but it was the jacket. Really funky smelling. It cost nearly $10 to ship back, though the issues it had were not my fault.

ordered 3xl fit like a large too small!

Wanted it to fit big but fit tight

This coat isn't worth the price I paid for. I wore it only two times and the zipper broke so and it's past the return date so now with it starting to get cold I have to spend more money to buy a good winter coat that will last me more than twice wearing it.

Slightly small
