Customer Reviews The North Face Gotham Parka

I really like the look of the coat and the warmth it provides but I feel as if it is just a little too puffy for me. In our area, we tend to wear a lot of layers and it just feels bulky in the end. I will be looking for something a little lighter weight that is still very warm.

i don't like the pulls on the bottom. They bug my legs

Very cute

I love this jacket ! It's so comfortable and light weight .

It is cute and warm.

beautiful Jacket, very stylish and warm but the arm sleeves are too tight for that size and restricts movement. only if the sleeves would be a little lose it would be a perfect jacket to wear.

I was looking for a jacket for daily use and I finally found this one, very comfortable and warm for winter time without losing my shape.

Every day I wear this jacket

I wear this jacket to the office, errand running, to the gym, etc. Great staple to have in the winter. I'm 5' 0" and the sleeve length hits me at the perfect spot on my wrist and the length of the jacket hits me in the leg at the preferred length, but I could see that people who are taller might think the sleeves are a little short or the length might hit them a little higher than they'd prefer. Also, make note that the waist is tapered in a bit which gives a different shape than a jacket built straight down. It almost looks like you're wearing a belt because the fabric gathers in a bit, but I think it's a cute twist on a classic down jacket.

Wanted something that would keep me really warm and waterproof yet stylish. This jacket is perfect for all.

This is a great insulated winter jacket. I'm 5'3" and the length is perfect. It's warm and blocks the wind, which is needed in New England. The only downside is the zippers. They can stick and are made of plastic, not metal. However, being made of plastic keeps the coat more light weight. Overall not bad.

Winter coat

I wish the coat fit me better

Excellently for blustery snow days.

Wished it had buttons in addition to Zipper

I love how warm and comfortable this coat is! I have an off brand black parka like this that I've had for 6 years and wanted an upgrade that would also last a long time. I definitely notice the difference in how much warmer and wind-resistant this North Face is. It was a Christmas gift this year so I haven't yet had the chance to test it in all weather or for durability but part of the reason I asked for this one was all the good reviews, so fingers crossed! I will say that I could've gone with the small for a little more room, but it belled out kind of funny at the hips so I went with the xsmall to be a bit more fitted and can still wear a sweater underneath. For reference, I am 5'3" and 112 lbs.

The Gotham Parka II is a wonderful addition to my winter wear. It is lightweight but warm with stylish design. It is long enough to protect upper legs from the cold weather. So far it meets all my winter needs!

Great product, love the color. I would say runs a bit small.

Very nice jacket overall the quality is really great and it is very comfortable!

I use this product walking around campus during winter. Works great for that. Only complaints are that the jacket can restrict arm movement and tends to bell out at the waist.

Long walk to work everyday in the cold, this coat definitely helped me stay warm.

I truly loved this jacket the moment I tried it on. It fit absolutely perfect. I must say it definitely was not crazy warm. I wore it on a 30 degree day with only a t-shirt underneath and I felt fine. But when those cold Chicago winters come a-knockin, this jacket won't do.

I bought this jacket to keep me warm through Wisconsin fall and winter dog walks. It's warm and I absolutely LOVE that the zipper with hood completely surrounds my head and mouth to keep them warm and block the wind. I gave 4 stars because even though it's warm, it could be just a bit warmer/thicker. Hoping it will be warm enough to get through negative temps in Wisconsin winter.

To be honest I wasn't sure about the puckering on the sides of this coat. But my friends all said it was pretty and flattering, and I really needed it this winter on my way to work in downtown buffalo because in the AM it is like the arctic. The coat is in general more figure grabbing than others on the website, and I'm not totally sure if I'll continue to want it to make me look like such a marshmallow queen. I will be on the lookout for a more subtle style in the future, although it does look cute, and the quilting is in classic squares. When I unzip it it looks a little bit strange, but I will mostly be wearing it closed. Length is JUST RIGHT. (5'6, 115 lbs)

I am looking forward to wearing this coat, especially in cold NY state winters.
