Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Love this coat for cold New England winters!

I take the bus to work & walk outside for my job. This coat is warm and comfortable. I highly recommend.

This jacket feels like my mom's hug. So warm and comfortable. I love it.

Love my snuggly cozy coat!

This is a wonderful parka warm and snuggly and wind resistant?

I live in frigid Minnesota. This coat is the first one that I've found that keeps me warm. I bought the black. It is washable (great when I brush up against dirty car doors). I can brush dog hair off of it. I love that the fur piece on the hood is removable by itself. I can still wear the hood, and it looks good. It is just the right length. I'm fairly short and bought a large size. The length of the coat keeps me warm to my knees.

I need to take the kindergarten kids out for recess...this jacket is perfect for keeping me warm all over with the lightness and flexibility to play with the kids!

Great for cold winter in Chicago!

The coat is warm!! Bought for cold Chicago weather? The sleeves are nicely closed around the wrist to keep out the wind. So far, do not see any down sides!

I have a long walk to my car. This coat keeps me warm.

Keeps me warm while waiting for my bus each early morning. I would definitly recommend for anyone living in a harsh winter climate!

I wear this jacket everyday now that it is cold. It is my favorite north face jacket yet and I have several. It keeps me warm during my long cold walk into work. I love the sleeves that have the cuff around your wrist that is tighter to keep out the cold. I dont have a single complaint about this jacket. I bought the new green color and it is my favorite!!! Win all the way around in my eyes.

This is the warmest, yet most move-able coat I ever tried on.

I am in love with this product and would love to win and come back and buy

This coat is comfortable and still allows movements when wearing it.

This is a great winter coat. A little too heavy for fall in Nashville but will be perfect for winter.

Good material, fits well, and has kept me warm through Wisconsin's freezing weather. Its perfect for use at places where it snows a lot because of the waterproof and windproof material.

Great for New York winter

Keeps me warm in the freezing weather

I wear this jacket every day now that it gets colder. You dont even need to wear a hat because the hat of the jacket warms you and is good fitting (not too big or small). This jackets does keep you warm even if it is really cold. You can zip up from the bottom which is good when you need to bend over. Great jacket which also looks good.

The size totally fits me! I can wear two layers under the jacket. It's windproof, i feel warm enough these days in Boston.

love how warm it is

With the product name NORTH FACE you can always count on a quality item.

I hope this review can be helpful to anyone uncertain about sizing, as it seemed unclear whether it ran large or small. I'd say it feels true to size. My size guide actually recommended an M for me but I decided to risk it and buy a S based on some reviews, because I did want something form fitting, especially in a jacket that has some bulk to it, to avoid feeling like marshmallow. So for reference, I weigh 135 lbs and I'm 5'3". I wear a size 34D bra, and usually a size 6 fits well in most clothing. Most of the time size 27 jeans fit me. For fitted tops, I wear a M, and for looser tops, a S fits well. I got size small in this jacket and it fits exactly the way I like. However, if you're my size and prefer a looser fit, M would be the way to go. The sleeves are a bit wide in the upper arm and slightly long so I was afraid sizing up would emphasize that. The body is a lot more snug. I also did not find the length of the jacket an issue at my height of 5'3". For me the length feels perfect. A couple small gripes are that the neck/collar area of the jacket feels quite stiff and the fur trim on the hood seems to sit a bit awkwardly on top of the head. I am finally (and for once!) ready for this NYC winter!

I just moved to the east coast and needed a winter jacket for the cold and snow. This jacket is incredibly warm and comfortable. You only need to wear a sweater underneath and you're good to go. I also like the length of the jacket. It hits me right at the knees because I'm 5 ft 2, so it's perfect. My favorite part of this jacket is the sleeves. I love that there's an inner fleece lining. The pockets also have fleece lining for extra comfort. Overall it's very flattering for a slim silhouette. It's worth the investment!
