Product Insights
The North Face Yumiori High-Pile Fleece Jacket is a midweight, breathable layer designed for active use in cool weather down to 40°F, but it requires a shell for wind resistance. Its boxy cut layers comfortably under outerwear, and the 100% recycled polyester fleece is part of a circular design program for disassembly and recycling. Durability features include YKK VISLON zippers and reinforced binding, though some buyers note the fabric feels thin and may pill over time, making it a lighter alternative to the Denali while warmer than the Gordon Lyons.

Yumiori quality concern and comparison to Gordon Lyons
I just bought thr yumiori so i can wear it under down jacket for layering but i realized the quality is thin and fragile, is that the trend of North Face? WouldGordon Lyon have stronger built with better materials or the same?

Yumiori weight, warmth, and fit review
I would say its a medium weight fleece, not super thick but very warm. I love it. I’m 5’11, average build, and the medium fits just right. I like my clothes to be a little more fitted, and could have definitely gone large for the oversized look
