Customer Reviews The North Face Miss Metro Parka

This coat is well made but it was a little "puffier" than I wanted and I was afraid it wouldn't be waterproof. The fit was true to size.

It says that this coat is 550 fill, but I doubt that. I bought the coat last April and wore it for the first time in November on a trip to Germany. The temps were in the 30s and 40s, but it did not keep me warm at all, even while wearing long underwear, slacks, turtleneck, wool sweater, hat, and gloves. Looks good, but not sufficient for winter weather.

This coat is very good for Michigan winters. Bought February 2018, so I wore it at the tail end of the winter and it worked well. Washed it to prepare for the coming winter and followed the directions exactly as they are stated on the coat. Took it out of the dryer and the filling is all balled up. Now not wearable.

The product could be good IF I didn't receive one which had a really bad smell. Maybe sweat or chemical? It was like a "used" coat in a bad condition, so I had to return it.

I love this coat! I was looking for a versatile coat to wear around the city and this coat is perfect. It’s comfortable, warm, but not too bulky

Bought one for myself, and one for my daughter. We both love it, and perfect for our Midwest winters.

I absolutely love this coat. It is lightweight, very warm and the fabric is soft. This is the first winter coat I’ve owned that had a zipper that zips easily and smoothly. I wasn’t sure about the color, navy, but it’s very attractive and a pleasant break from black. I highly recommend this coat.

Perfect size and fit, not too bulky an the length is perfect.... however I didnt feel it was warm at all! Its a thin layer of material and filling that there wasn't much there to keep you warm. I live in MD so it doesn't get that cold but standing outside for 5 minutes at 32 degrees it wasnt any warmer then my standard LL Bean coat. I ordered it for the length, I am 5'2" and its long went right below my knees. Just what I wanted. Very light weight and not bulky but I was looking for something that was very warm when being outside when cold, especially when it would be windy. So this didn't fit my needs. The hood is shallow, when you put it on it just barely comes to the front of your head. So if you are a person with your hair always up it wont fit around it.

Perfect size small! Fits well and looks so nice. I'm sure it will be warm this winter. I love the urban navy color- it's very dark and classy looking.

Absolutely loved this coat. It runs a little small. I tried to order in a larger size, but they were out. This was a prior year model. Seems that the Metropolitan replaces it. I liked the Miss Metro better than the Metropolitan because it has snap closure as well as the zipper.

The hood is very shallow - it comes forward only to my hairline, which looks funny and renders the hood useless in snow and wind. The cords to adjust it are inside, and hard to get to if you have long hair (also extremely difficult to adjust - I can't imagine trying to do so in wind and snow!) My old TNF Metropolis from 10 years ago is still in great shape and has a nice, deep hood. I can't order the Metropolis style again because of the ugly patterned lining. The navy is classic but a printed pale pink topo print interior? Ew. Clashes with everything! TNF has really changed.

Great deal on this jacket. My daughter goes to school in Chicago and we cannot buy the right coats in Texas. Zappos makes it so easy to send things to her asap.

If you are petite this probably is not the parka for you. I am 5' 3" and it fell about 6 inches below my knees and belled out at the bottom. It looked like I was wearing a hoop skirt. It is very warm and stylish but if you want something shorter like the picture shows, this is not it.

The fit was as expected. It was the true definition of an xl and with enough space to layer sweaters underneath. It's really soft and warming dur to the down feathers. I'm not sure what it means by responsibly-sourced down feathers. Those who are againdt wearing animal products might be against wearing this even though its comfort and fit are too great to say "no" too.

I purchased this coat as a 2018 Christmas gift for a daughter. However, I would purchase it for myself if I needed another coat. I think she will like it because she will be warm in the winter when she walks her dog. There does seem to be a slight problem with the double zipper. I'm going to allow her to make the decision.

It was very warm and comfortable. I ordered a size up thinking I would need the extra space to layer sweaters underneath. However, the warm down material assured me that the coat would be warm enough on its own, without extra layers. It has a soft and comfortable feel. I don't feel fully comfortable wearing down feathers but the tag says the down was sourced from responsible sources. I don't really know what that means, but for those who live in cold climates and need the extra protection, this coat is for you.

I bought it for the Chicago winters and it is not warm enough for sure. I have a 600 down fill from 6 years ago that was warm and is now worn out. I wish those would be reintroduced I wish I could return it as it did not serve the purpose at all.

Jacket had a funky smell when I was caught in the rain with it. Customer service was great and exchanged it. I haven't worn it since, but I hope it doesn't happen again.

I have worn this coat for 2 winters now and it is my go to coat for all winter weather. I wear it pretty much everyday. Snow, wind, bitter cold..this coat keeps me warm. I get caught in the rain quite often because I walk to work and even though this isn't really a rain jacket, it does keep me dry and warm. My only complaint is I wish it lasted longer...the matte black is wearing off in places and starting to look very worn. I will probably buy this coat again for next year but I wish it lasted for a couple more winters.

Day one of receiving this coat in the green color and I am in love. I was worried about how it would fit because of some reviews I saw. I must say I’m a true medium and that’s the size I ordered. It fits perfect with plenty of room for a sweater underneath. I’m 5’3 and it hits just below the knees. I took my dog for a quick walk here in MN and it’s plenty warm for me. Also, the matte finish is perfect IMHO.

I wanted to love this jacket, but it just does not fit well. It seems larger than other North Face down coats in medium that I have. Plus the fall is poor in that the bottom bunches up instead of falling straight.

I am 64, 5' 5", weigh 155 lbs, have an athletic build with no waist, the arms are almost too long and the coat hits right at the knee, I chose a size large and its a good fit for me, not snug & not too loose. I've been wearing the original brown NF parka/coat for at least 10 years, had the zipper replaced a few years back and it has served me really well in the northern Michigan winters. I like using the hood over my NF cable beanie for added warmth when its snowing or went the wind's howling.

My family has had coats from north face our entire life but lately we have noticed that the quality has gone down a lot I own a miss metro and my husband a triclimate jacket we upgraded last year.. his fleece jacket is in horrible condition and my miss metro the feathers are coming out!!! My daughter spilled some juice in it and I washed it and dried as per the instructions with tennis balls and all... the feathers have clumped up and the stiched packets are half empty... the weather has been sooooo cold when I called the north face store they said we have to send it in to check and it would take 7 weeks ... I have only one jacket and I Dono what to do.. they have life time warranty !! I had hoped for some solution but I can't wait that long in Michigan winters!!!

I love this coat! I live in MN where it gets extremely cold. This is my go-to jacket in the frigid weather. I've had one in the tan color for a few years and now I'm onto ordering another in black.

There does not feel to be enough down in this coat. My arms were cold, then I realized that the coat does not have sleeve cuffs! This is a very poor design for a cold weather coat. Also, the zippers in the pockets are not comfortable when your hands are in them. It is lightweight so the best use for it would be for warmer weather wear, over 40 degrees. Now that I'm stuck with it, Ill have to wear heavy wool clothing beneath it.
