The North Face Women’s Maya jacket
Promise
Dependable protection against wet, wind and snow with an elegant style.
Performance
The North Face have just tapped into the women’s high street fashion market with hidden practicality that even the most anti-outdoors fashion guru couldn’t deny.
40 years of innovation and exploration have led to this stylishly tailored ladies raincoat that delivers HyVent 2L waterproofing technology for superior breathability in a lightweight design with sealed seams.
The trench-coat style Maya has a double-breasted faux button closure with a hidden front zip and removable belt. Button down storm-flaps, adjustable cuffs, zipped front pockets and an internal security pocket are all part of the practicalities The North Face have integrated.
Verdict
Perfect for the unpredictable spring weather with an almost seamless balance between style and function. The only real compromise is the lack of hood, but then it is aimed at the umbrella-wielding high street ladies, after all.
A flattering tailored fit in a range of modern muted shades sets the Women’s Maya Jacket apart from its vibrant outdoor cousins, opening up the market to yet more North Face enthusiasts.
