The reasoning
Ordering the The North Face Summit Series Gore-Tex Black Hooded Jacket for the first time involves a clear process. Once you submit your CNY 368 payment, the item travels to a domestic warehouse for inspection. You will receive photos of the actual jacket to review before it leaves the country. This is your only chance to cancel the order for free if the measurements are wrong. Once you approve the warehouse photos and ship it internationally, returns become impractical. Check the item on LitBuy to see the live price, the size and the stock before making your decision.
What the photo proves
Visible details include the placement of the technical pocket zippers and the hood adjustment toggles. These confirm the matte finish of the black material.
What it cannot tell you
Waterproof capabilities of the fabric cannot be verified against simple water resistance. Seam sealing quality remains completely unverified by the images, and the breathability of the laminate is impossible to judge from photographs.
Before you add it to cart
Decide if you want to layer a heavy fleece underneath this garment. If so, you should select one size larger than your standard t-shirt size to allow for adequate chest clearance and comfortable arm movement.
