Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Repurchased this same style after my previous arctic parka bought in 2015 did not dry well after a wash and started smelling like a wet dog. Otherwise I would not be replacing it! It was my go-to cold weather winter coat, which looks so much classier than the overabundance of "michelin man" style coats out there. Compared to the old version of this coat, new one is now longer - which is a huge plus! On the downside, the new one feels a bit more boxy because the waist line is less form fitting. Other than that, the coat seems just as warm and well made! Get it while they still have all the colors and sizes!

5'7 230 pounds it goes a couple of inches past my knees, plenty of room for layering. The fur trim on the hood looks even better in person.

This is my second parka. The first one I bought 11-12 years ago size L, still wear it and one is in good condition. I am a nurse and the North Face offered discounts for health workers so I decided to buy a new one. I`m 5 '7 and my size is between L and XL, so this parka true to size, and I bought XL. Usually I don`t wear layers just one layer and it is enough for cold weather. This parka is long enough may be 4 inches above my knees. I like that this parka has additional line with velcro next to the zipper, so you don`t need to zip all the time. Thank you North Face!!! So happy!

Great quality, I sized down and overall I think it will work great for me. I am always cold so I was looking for a coat that kept me warm, but not bulky and this feels like it will fit the bill!

Great color, great fit, warm as can be. The size medium worked for me - for reference I'm 5'4", 137 lbs, 34DD.

I purchased this for a ski trip. It kept me warm, it didn't make me look bulky and it was waterproof. Love it and would highly recommend.

I've been wanting this jacket for so long and finally got one and I love it.

I love it. Needed new winter coat and always wanted one of these.

As its not too cold so cant tell but i trust Northface

I have bought many jackets before. Not anymore! Traveling overseas often, I regularly need something that was stylish, comfortable and durable. I saw someone with this jacket and stopped her to ask where she bought it! I immediately went online and ordered one. And bonus....it was on sale! Won't ever look back!

I waited forever for this jacket to be back in stock in the color and size I wanted. Once it did I bought it immediately. I ABSOLUTELY adore this jacket. It's super cute and really flattering. I get cold really easy and this jacket keeps me really warm and dry. Im 5'4 145 pounds. I bought a medium and it's a perfect fit. Not too big but big enough for thicker layers underneath if I need.

Nice jacket

I used to own a parka (XS) and I thought I would get an update with this one (Small) however I had to return for a bigger size I'm 5.5 125lbs and the small size was overall very restrictive ( had less room Then my extra small parka from years ago ) I had to re-order a medium in a different color because what I originally had ordered was no longer available. I have not received my new order so I can't comment yet. Still trying to figure out how I went from an extra small to a medium.

I wear this to work , to hang out anytime the weather permits

I use this coat for cold weather. I love the fit, warmth, and how light it feels

Impressed with quality of coat and style. Unfortunately, too small, had to return and the next size out of stock.

Great coat! I really like the length, and the material. Very warm and well made.

I love my new parka!! We live in the midwest (Michigan) and I was looking for a new coat for winter but also for an upcoming trip to Iceland ( I hope I can update this review after!) So far I LOVE how warm it is, the length keeps me toasty (especially paired with my NF Shellista boots), and I love that it's not traditional black. I feel very fashionable and not too bulky. My ONLY complaint would be that when the zipper isn't up all the way the collar flap can rub against my chin and it be uncomfortable, but I put on a scarf and problem solved. I wouldn't even call it a complaint because it isn't too much of a bother but I wanted to include in my review bc others might find it more bothersome! All around GREAT COAT on sale so even better!!

A little hugged fit, probably for shaping design. Nice big pockets but when I put my phone in, it's hard to sit down with the coat on while driving. Love that it's so warm.

Perfect for the cold and windy Wisconsin winters!

I'm tall (6'1") with long arms, so it's hard to find winter coats that fit right. The sleeve length is great, and I'm tall enough that the length hits about mid-thigh for me. When I'm driving I notice that the my arm movement is a little restricted, but it's so hard to find a coat with longer sleeves that I can deal with that.

I was debating for months to buy a Northface and which parka would be best for me. I'm happy I went with the Artic Parka. I'm 5'1, 135lbs couldn't decide on small or medium. I went with a medium and it fits perfect. I still have room to wear a sweater but I think the coat will be super snug. You don't need to layer with this coat!

Perfect jacket that o ever have

Very warm. I like the style.

I wear this coat every day! It is so warm and definitely wind proof!
