WARNING! What's listed as NEW TAUPE online is actually NEW TAUPE GREEN according to the tag on the jacket. Not sure if I'm going to keep it because I was expecting TAUPE, which is traditionally a light/medium brownish-grey. This jacket appears to be more of a military green, in my opinion.
I do like the style, by it's a little restrictive thru the shoulders. Love the longer length. I have the same size in a shorter jacket just like this one, but it is a lot roomier than this parka, so a little disappointed in the size. Overall I would recommend it, though.

This is a great looking, formidable jacket, but runs small in the hips in a M and is huge in the large.

Last Fall I purchased a removable fleece lined waterproof parka and LOVE IT. I am tired of black so I saw this cute model with the polka dots and ordered it. Unfortunately a very different cut. I am 5'10" and 190 lbs. I like to order an XL so I can layer underneath and not feel restricted. This parka for me is cut too narrow in the body. The shoulders and sleeve length are ample but in the XL (and with a bust size of 40D), I was just only able to wear one layer and zip it up. Not comfy so must return.

I would wear this just for every day, but it was super snug in the shoulders, almost as if I should be in men's, but I have never had this problem with North Face and my winter jacket. When I went to the store the worker had mentioned that he comes across this same problem (the shoulders not being broad enough) in men's clothing as well and he recommended I go up a size or that the athletic fit is a lot better. He was helpful, I just wish it was not so constricting and for the price I had to return it if I didn't love it. Otherwise I loved the length and that you could zip it up from the bottom and the top.

I ended up exchanging this coat for a more expensive one that was longer and a bit nicer.

Fit was snug and fabric was stiff and felt like plastic. Zipper was sticky and did not work well. Disappointed with quality.

I love the way this jacket fits and the look. Unfortunately the zipper started to get stuck after the first couple of times I wore it and now it is stuck to the point that I can only take the jacket on/off by pulling over my head. Not ideal with a wet rain jacket on. I emailed Zappos and they immediately refunded my purchase. Best customer service out there! I would not recommend this jacket due to the faulty zipper, but always recommend buying through Zappos!

The velcro on the front flap of this jacket is horrible. It scratches, it catches on everything.

I wanted to love this parka. I have an older version that I was looking to replace, but unfortunately seems to have been refined into a city girl jacket... I want the most functional rain jacket available. This is not it. There is no longer Velcro on the sleeves to cinch them tight in a down pour. The hood no longer has a toggle cinch which is very helpful in high wind and rain situations. The longer length is fabulous, and it still zips up from the bottom, but is not made for a woman with any hips whatsoever. Not enough room for a fleece underneath, so size up if that’s what you’re looking for. There are only 2 nice zip outer pockets in this jacket. Please bring back the inner zip pocket, and the zip breast pocket. I don’t mind the Velcro zipper flaps because they are super functional. The quality is there, but I will be returning and continuing my quest to find something more functional.

The jacket is okay, but I will be returning it because it doesn't fit. The sizing is not anywhere near "normal". I ordered an XL. I wear a L or XL in tops and 14 in pants. The jacket is snug through the hips and, strangely, across the thighs. It is okay through the shoulders. Giving a lower rating solely due to the sizing.

While not having go-go gadget arms, these sleeves are crazy short!! I have to always wear them putted up so it doesn't look like a stole a child's jacket. Really wish the sleeves matched the rest of the jacket.

I am looking for a mid-weight rain coat, something with some substance that would be waterproof but also offer the warmth of a light jacket. I thought that because this coat was called a parka it would have some thickness to it. It does not. The material is barely-there thin. The price is outrageous for the quality.

Hoping for better results this third time around. Northgate, we love your styles but boy are your materials cheap. This is our third attempt at finding a good product and you have failed us miserably. We received this jacket and I was excited but as soon as I tried to unzip the jacket, I thought... ugh why is this zipper so tight. But I tried to stay positive. Put the jacket on and loved the fit. I stayed in it for 30 minutes in bliss. But when I tried to take it off. I couldn't. The zipper was stuck badly. Had to get my husband to help me out of my jacket. The more we wiggled the zipper, the worse it got. Then the bottom piece of the zipper just gave out all together. Cheapest materials ever!

This appeared to be a longer fit in the picture, but didn't seem that way when it showed up. I'm 6ft, and usually wear a small. The jacket was fine through the torso, but was way too short in the sleeves. The hood was also surprisingly small. It barely covered my hair, then even zipped all the way up my neck it easily blew off with a light wind.
