Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Fantastic and warm. Perfect for the MI winters! Absolutely love it!

We've already had single digit temps and a foot of snow and I'm so glad I have this coat. It's kept me toasty and dry. I was in between a Medium and a Large but chose the medium. I'm 5'8" and usually a Large in jackets and tops. I have pretty broad shoulders with muscular arms but a slim waist. However, I felt like I was swimming in the Large. The waist, sleeves and hem were about 2" too long and it was just too big, even with a sweater underneath. The Medium fits perfectly- the waist, sleeves and hem all hit in the right spots and I can still fit a sweater underneath and have room to move my arms comfortably. The dark purple is a beautiful color. This isn't a fashion statement but it's the cutest, warmest parka I've found. The cinching at the back waist helps to not look like a shapeless blob but at the end of the day, MN winters are brutal and I prioritize warmth.

This coat is so warm and cozy. I have a few nice north face coats but this is my go to. It is very warm, cozy and I love the color! The fur around the hood is so soft, it just feels like it's opulent. But so utilitarian all at the same time. The dual zipper is also a great feature. It is my favorite.

If I were even to imagine the perfect parka, this would eclipse it. It's a stunning print for starters. Cozy? Amazing with just a cashmere sweater under. It said waterproof, and when I ran it under the faucet - it passed. Fully wind proof too - and breathable. Zippers are impermeable with tabs of grosgrain for easy pulling. Inside goggle pocket and a slick pocket with a removable and washable cloth to clean them on the sleeve. Inside pocket with room for $, sunscreen and more. Hood is built to accommodate and secure your helmet. But what totally dazzled me is it's female/flattering design and print. I walked past it in their Park City store, with a jacket for my daughter in mind, but I fell hard for this. I want, need, and will beg North Face for this in a full grown raincoat. All recycled materials, doesn't wrinkle when squished in a suitcase, and I am in love.

Amazing coat! Fits great

I bought this parka for the colder months in Idaho. I like the length, just above my knees. I'm 5'2' 106#. The size small fits perfectly for my size but if I gained 5-8# it might be a little snug. It is warm, wind, and water proof. The fur on the hood is removable. The fabric "wrinkles" very slightly. I have pets so it does attract some fur but is easily removed. Like that the pockets have zippers and hold my gloves and cell phone easily. The hood stays in place with a cord that can be tightened. Front zipper works smoothly. It's slightly bulky but not overly so. It's meant to keep me warm. I love my lighter weight down coats but staying dry is a problem when it snows. This coat solves that problem.

Bought this coat for my oldest daughter and she loves this coat. She says the coat keeps her warm she doesn't even put a sweater underneath it, her long sleeve shirt is enough.

Nice jacket!

Warm and great color jacket. Love the faux fur hood detail. Light weight and not bulky like most down jackets.

North Face parkas have always been my go-to down parkas for the cold Boston winters. This one is a great length and overs my thighs. It's super warm and flattering!! The jacket has velcro as opposed to buttons which actually makes it better because I'm always too lazy to button anyway.

Gift for my daughter. She loves it very warm and comfortable. Made with quality

I wore this coat during the recent cold days in Chicago. This coat is very warm and comfortable.

Love it! This coat is beautiful yet practical. The fur is soft, length is great. I had purchased the Medium and then returned for the Large because my shoulders are a bit broad and it was hard to stretch my arms out. Especially with heavier sweaters in the winter, it made sense to me to size up.

I love the length of the coat and how practical yet beautiful it is. The white is more of a winter white/cream, the fur hood is very soft, and it's a great quality coat!

So cozy and warm esp with windy conditions

My husband bought me this jacket as an early Christmas present and I am very impressed. It is so beautiful on. The material is very nice, it's a thick jacket but you can still wear layers underneath and be comfortable. The fur on the hood looks so cute! My husband got me the black jacket with the gray fur. Definitely a jacket that will last me many, many winters.

I am really happy with my purchase. I wanted a longer, warm coat that blocks the wind and this has done the job perfectly so far. Yesterday morning windchills were in the teens Fahrenheit, but I was still warm and comfortable walking city blocks into work and later walking my dog. I also really like the double zipper. It gives you the freedom to drive or sit normally but still keep your legs covered.

Love this jacket! Super warm. It does run big, I would say I am usually a medium in jackets which is what I initially ordered. It was way too big, so I returned for a small and it fits perfectly with enough room for a sweatshirt underneath. For reference, I am 5'9 140 lbs.

Best piece of apparel I've purchased this season.

The color is awesome and this coat keeps you cozy warm! Bought the hat to match and it looks adorable

I wear it to work had a little shoveling to do in 15 degrees below zero wind chill the other night, didn't feel the wind at all with the hood up. Best jacket I have owned.

I'm 5'3" and ordered the petite. It goes to a little above my knee. I wanted a warm coat that would also keep me dry. I've tested it and this jacket is great.

I love walking my dog for hours and want to be warm, comfortable but I do care about how I look. I refuse to wear fur and searched several good brands and this ticked all the boxes. Excellent buy!

Coat I purchased came as promised. Fit perfectly and will keep my granddaughter warm this winter in style!

I order this coat online and got it fairly quickly. I'm our chases a small and had to exchange for an Xanax at a North Face Retailer. I had no problem getting the size I needed. The coat wasn't on the floor but they had one in the backend of their store that fit me. Can't complain. It's a cute, functional, and warm coat!
