Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

I am in love with this jacket. I have been looking a jacket like this for a long time. It is warm, lightweight and waterproof. Good for winter, windy and rainy days. Stylish since the body design is not straight like a bucket. The hood with fur is so lovely, it fits me so well.

It's been YEARS since I've had a really warm coat. I live in NYC and I've always prioritized fashion over warmth. I just got this coat and it's made a world of difference already. I can wear a t-shirt under it in the current ~35+ degree weather and feel warm. It really feels like I'm being hugged with warmth. I don't think the pictures really do this coat justice. It's very fitted, sleek and stylish and has a beautiful lining. I'm 5'4, 125lbs and my waist is about 28 inches. I got a small. The sleeve length is perfect. The fitted waist originally seemed a little tight but I just needed to get used to it, there's room, but I would say size up if you feel you'll need more room than your immediate waist measurement. I love the hood because it's not huge and stays on when I have headphones or a hat on underneath, unless it's windy. The coat goes right above my knees in front and a little lower in the back. It also has a double zipper so if you need more leg room you can unzip it from the bottom. I do wish that the neck area was wider. I can't zip the coat all the way to the top comfortably. I'd like to be able to do that and put my chin into the neck, but that's not possible. If I had bought a medium it probably would have been but I think I would have lost the fitted shape.

I LOVE this coat! I had originally purchased a Columbia coat and I found it to not be very warm or wind proof. This coat is both of those things and more! Very cute and flattering and great quality! I would buy this coat over and over again!

I finally have a North Face coat. I always buy for my son has 6. We live in the North East and have major storms. I really really Love that I found my size.

Love the scoop in the back.

I use it everyday. Love it

This coat is so warm and snuggly! The fit is great and it's cute!

This was a great buy! I was looking for a winter jacket that would keep me warm in low temperatures, and it definitely does! The only thing I would say is that it is a little tight in my hips/thighs when I zip it up, but the large was way too big on me.

This coat replaced a Northface triclimate coat that I've had for over 10 years. I was looking for something longer and more stylish and this parka is exactly that. Living in Minnesota most of us wear giant puffy coats with no style just to stay warm. It feels high quality and the zipper is very smooth and works well. With longer coats that have zippers on the top and bottom of coat they often stick and don't work well but this coat has a high quality zipper that doesn't feel like it will get stuck. I like that the fur can be removed if I don't want to wear it that day. I am very happy with my purchase- the black parka looks great and will be nice and warm in the Minnesota winters!

Bought for my college-age daughter. It keeps her warm on long walks to class!!

I really like the Arctic Parka II ... This one replaces the one I bought years ago ...

I absolutely love this coat! I wasn't sure how this style would fit on me and it is so flattering! Extremely warm, love the "inner sleeve" that's part of the arm..keeps your wrist nice and toasty. The length goes right above the knee for me (I'm 5'4) which will keep my legs warm as well! Buy this coat!

I'm so happy that arrive. It what how I was expecting.

Super comfy, warm coat for Michigan wi tees

Runs small I am usually a XL or XXL depending on the store I'm shopping at. Ordered XXL it was too small ordered X3 its perfect.

I have been eyeing up this jacket for a long time and finally bought it when it went on sale. I love how stylish and warm this jacket is. I am 5'3, 150lbs and 36D. I bought both the medium and the large to see what size fits best. Even though I plan to drop a few pounds, I am sticking with the Large. The medium is just a bit to tight in the chest area and restricts my arm movements. The Large is a bit roomy but, doesn't look it. I really wish the medium was just a couple inches bigger and then it would have fit perfectly. However, I am very happy with my purchase and enjoy wearing this jacket everyday.

Love the color! I had an XS Calvin Klein jacket and needed a medium in this coat.

I love it, very warm, not heavy, perfect length and stylish.

This coat is super comfortable and keeps me warm in the cold. It is also super stylish!

This coat fits perfectly

I am so happy that I bought this coat. I love everything about it.

I absolutely love this coat. I have a hard time finding a coat that fits right. I'm 5'9" and 177 lbs and have long arms. I have a hard time finding a coat with long enough sleeves and when I do find one that fits my arms, it's usually boxy and large. This coat is very flattering and the arm length is perfect. I also love the two zipper feature so when I'm driving, it doesn't bind my legs. It keeps me warmer than my other winter coats. I purchased size xl and I couldn't be happier.

GREAT WINTER COAT FOR COLD MN WINTERS! HOOD IS REMOVABLE, THE COAT IS A GREAT LONGER LENGTH THAT COVERS TO MID-THIGH.

Perfect jacket: warm, cozy, comfortable.

I love my new jacket. Excellent material and fits perfectly
