Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

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.

So far I've only used this parka a couple times out in 30 degree Manhattan weather, and it's been incredibly warm. With my jacket zipped up and my hood on, I can only feel the cold in the bottom half of my legs! I'm very grateful for this below-knee-length parka (I'm 5'4") and even though it looks a bit big on my smaller frame, it's actually pretty slimmingfor a gigantic jacket.

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.

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.

After moving back north from the south, I was on the hunt for a great winter coat. After an unsuccessful purchase last winter, I decided to splurge on this coat, and wow am I happy I did! I am typically a medium but ordered a medium and a large just in case I needed the bigger side for layering. Ended up keeping the medium, as I was swimming in the large! It is definitely a little constricting (can't lift my arms above my head easily) but not feeling like a snowman with slim fit and style makes it worth it. It is absurdly warm for how light weight it is. and doesn't let the wind cut through like my previous down jacket. Highly recommend!

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.

I wear this coat on really cold days like winter is great for as well with rain so you shouldn't have a problem with those elements wearing this coat. This jacket is true to size the only thing I wish I brought a bigger size cause when I wear my sweaters the feel will be tight but not to tight. But overall great coat for the winter it will keep you dry and warm.

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.

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.

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

Wear this regularly when going out in cold weather. Love how warm it is.

I use this to go to work, around town, for walks. It really does it all, and the nicest thing looks elegant enough and is waterproof, unlike most puffer coats

I live off of Lake Erie and it gets VERY cold! This coat fits great and has kept me so warm. I would buy again!

I love this coat! I appreciate the sizing tool on The North Face website as it accurately predicated the coat size I needed by answering just a few simple questions. The coat is very warm, waterproof, and great for cold, winter weather! I appreciate that there are cuffs at the end of the sleeves to keep the sleeves in place and prevent cold air from entering the sleeves. I also appreciate the style of the coat (and cinching at the waist) as it provides a flattering look.

Love this jacket is very warm and very cute I'm glad I found this jacket before winter!

Bought this for my first semester in college in the northeast. Looking forward to snow now with this park!

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.

Good - wish it was a little cheaper

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!

Great jacket. My mom loves it. Keeps her warm while walking the dog and everyday use.

Great product would recommend

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
