Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

This is my every day winter coat and so far it's the best winter coat I've ever owned. I'm so happy I spent the money and bought it. Very, very happy!

I spent much of my day running around picking up or dropping off my kids, attending their activities and sports events. This coat is perfect for all the above.

Good - wish it was a little cheaper

Very warm coat

Just bought thus coat and I love it. It's warm and stylish.

Very good styling, cut well, looks fantastic! Many compliments!

Needed a new winter jacket for the commutes to work during cold Boston winters. This is exactly what I was looking for, without needing to spend $1,000 on a Canada Goose! Just as stylish and warm. A little heavier than I was expecting, but very comfortable and definitely windproof.

Coat looks great and is very warm. It is a little restrictive and form fitting. Went with a size up for layers as others recommended. Hopefully it will break in a little.

This is a beautiful coat. It is very warm and stylish.

Love the coat! Such a pretty blue color and keeps me warm while being able to move around easily.

I love this coat and can't wait to put it to use in the winter. The small was a bit too small, I just ordered a medium as well to decide.

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

This jacket is perfect for Chicago winter weather! Not only is it beautiful and warm it fits perfectly. I'm pretty short 5'2" & petite so I was worried about the length & fit. I used their sizing guide & I couldn't be happier.

This coat is so warm! True to size and definitely blocks wind very effectively. The jacket is super cozy and cute and keeps my Californian blood warm in New York City.

I love the coat it's great

I needed a good jacket. Warm, cozy & good quality. I love this! Plus it's under warranty!!!

I use this coat daily in Chicago! I was advised by the store manager to purchase this coat for walks to the bus and while walking my dog. This coat keeps me nice and warm while being outside.

I live in Michigan and I'm always cold. I have been wanting to replace my 6 year old metropolis parka III with something a little more stylish and updated (and with a fur hood!) and this coat (the Arctic parka) is it! This is definitely a more 'fitted' coat and I won't be able to wear bulky sweaters under it but I love the warmth and the fact that it's wind and waterproof too.

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

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!

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!

It's a great jacket however I had to return my initial order. I recommend buying one size up if you have a fuller chest. I typically am an XL but I could t zip it up and had to return and reorder XXL. The fit is way better and I have room for layering. I've been wearing it in single digit temps and feel very comfortable. Personally I find the hood a little big because it likes to fall in my face, but I think that's more so I need to adjust it better when I go out. I have the black and it so comfortable and beautiful. I feel very stylish and I would happily purchase again. I highly recommend it to someone looking for the perfect winter coat.

This is my go-to winter coat this year. I love the longer length and feminine cut without the jacket feeling too heavy or bulky. Like other TNF coats, it's extremely warm and comfortable. The removable fur and removable hood are a great option to have, but as of now, I'm wearing the whole ensemble and love it.

I am a teacher with recess duty and I needed a warm coat! This is the perfect coat! I hesitated due to price but it's worth every penny!

Very warm
