Customer Reviews The North Face Miss Metro Parka

It's pretty comfortable but I would say it runs a little big. I'm a size 4-6 and the small is a little big on me. I was disappointed because there is a plastic logo piece on the sleeve that fell off after the second wear. There's no way to reattach it and the insides of the coat are coming out of the tiny hole where the piece of plastic was. Also this coat is always getting inexplicably dirty and the fabric is hard to clean.

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 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.

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.

This coat is a bit more stylish than the Metropolis parka. I have a metropolis and use it for cold weather as well, but in NYC I wanted something a bit more urban. To be honest this coat is great, except for one thing: I think its missing some cinching in the waist. I think in some views, my midsection looks very puffed out and that is the sheer nature of the cut of this jacket. If there were some simple drawcords at the waist that would be all this coat would have needed to look a bit more svelte in a cold weather jacket, especially around the middle!

Love this coat, it is more for "medium" cold if that makes sense (good for 20-40 degrees but I would want something heavier in the tens or the negatives). It is ok in wind but it could be better as far as waterproofing - I wore this coat waiting for the Patriots Super Bowl Parade this year and it soaked through with the snow/rain mix after about an hour and a half. But for milder winter days this coat is really great and the length helps fend off the cold. I really wish this coat had an interior pocket to store things in so that I can keep my hands in the pocket. Overall, great quality, not amazing waterproofing, wish it had an interior pocket.

I ordered it when it was on sale. It's light and warm enough. It fits nicely and looks nice. I'm 5'5" and in between a Med and large. I'm 124 lbs. the Med looks better on than the large but the large is roomy. The material is very nice, not shiny which I hate. Overall a good quality. I only wish companies would go back to having buttons or snaps in addition to a zipper.

I live in Edmonton Canada and our winters are very harsh, so I was searching for a very warm coat, a longer down-filled coat with a hood. The miss metro has a nice design and I like the navy color. I wish they had an XXS size since I feel that it runs bigger than what an XS usually is. The sleeves are a little long too. That said, it's warm and I'll be wearing it regardless.

Great coat

Even though it's not warm enough for me for when the temperature goes down to 30 with windchills, this coat is still awesome for other cold weather. I would highly recommend if you are not always trying to find something warmer.

Very good

fit is a little snug but adequate; -I'm very busty... love the slimming pattern and length. I am 5"2 and sleeves are perfect length... could be too short for a taller women. seems very warm; hoping it's perfect for Jan. in Park City...

Good quality warm jacket

Very Comfortable. Not a very cold winter type jacket.

I love all North Face products, they are very durable with good workmanship!!! Bought online and in store, for myself as well as gifts.

well made, quality coat. loved the stitching and the warmth. a little too bulky for me, though. fit was ok, a little snug, even though sleeves seemed long. overall a really nice coat...I decided on the metropolis style instead. just worked better for me would buy northface again!

Great coat! Fits great! However not warm enough for very cold Chicago weather.

This parka is everything it describes. I bought it in the grey and absolutely love it -- its definitely my go to. I was a little worried about the sizing (I have read many reviews saying that it runs small, but not the case at all). I was pleasantly surprised by its size and fit. Great length, very warm, and moves with my body. Super happy with the purchase. I only gave it 4 stars because of some of its features. I would of loved if the sleeves were a little longer or if it had warmers inside.

I'm 5'9 and 135 pounds so I ordered a large for the length factor but it is just way to wide. I look like I gained 50 pounds once I put it one, so I need to exchange for a medium! Overall though I really like the coat and can't wait to get my size right so I can actually wear it!

This coat is really lightweight and fashionable, yet still really warm. I live in Michigan and wear it outside walking my dog and running errands. It's fashionable and not bulky, but does run slightly big. I may have been able to get the next size down. I'm usually a size 2 and find that I'm between the S and XS. The only thing I don't love is the hood, it's a little small. I would prefer if the hood came around the face more to block the wind better. Overall, I love the coat and would definitely recommend it.

Great for the cold weather of Wisconsin. Lightweight and easy to pack.

I absolutely love this coat! I was initially concerned at the thinness of it, because I have had puffier coats in the past, and wasn't sure if it would be thick enough. But it's insulated VERY well and was so essential for keeping me warm in recent 7-degree temps. It's also very soft! Would definitely recommend it to others.

I got this just in time for the coldest day of the year in MI. It looks good, feels good... If I had one minor complaint I would like for the sleeves to be a tiny bit longer, but it's so minimal I don't think twice about it.

I'm a west coast resident but bought this jacket because I travel to NYC frequently for work and I'd been eyeing this style for a while and it went on sale. I can't review the warmth factor for "real winter" since I didn't get it in time for my most recent trip. I wore it out in San Francisco in mid-50s weather and I was perfectly warm without feeling sweaty or stuffy, and the jacket felt great and lightweight and not like a heavy parka. The jacket looks great. I got the dark graphite color and it's like a matte finish, not a shiny finish. I'm a pretty natural medium in sizing and this is almost a bit too loose for my liking. I justify keeping the M because I'll probably be wearing layers in NYC and if I went down a size it'd be too tight around the arms (reaching) and bust. The hood is removable and the jacket falls mid-thigh for me (I'm 5'8"). One thing I'm disappointed in is that there's no inner pocket for a phone, etc.

The interior lining of this jacket is beautiful!
