Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

I'm loving this coat! I got the new taupe which is pretty and dark enough to be versatile to wear with different styles and outfits. It has the puffy material on the inside, but waterproof on the outside so it's warm but can be worn in the snow or rain. The fur hood adds a fun touch, and can be removed. I also love that there's a sinch at the waist which gives you more form. Overall, love this jacket!! Would recommend.

Absolutely love the parka ... living in Chicago and commuting downtown during the cold weather-I feel I am well equipped with this awesome parka (and pretty stylish too)!!!

Wife loves it. Sure it'll keep her warm this winter.

I wanted a nice solid parka that still had a nice fitted and flattering look. I live in Boston, MA and we have pretty tough winter weather. I hear this winter is going to be pretty brutal according to the 2019 Farmer's Almanac. Either way, I did plenty of research which mostly consisted of watching style influencers on YouTube compare winter coats by the best brands. Many luxurious brands were compared with this parka and I decided to go with this because it checked off all of my needs; performance, comfort, style, and price. I bought the Parka II in black in size medium. Which is my true size. I am 5'8 and typically a size 8 in dresses. Bust size 34D. This coat fits right and the sinched waist adds that special feminine quality. If you are thinking about a parka and trying to decide between a higher end brand which could be 3 or 4 times the price of this one. I say go with North Face! You won't be disappointed!

I love this coat!! It works wonders against the cold. It's a little bit heavy but in a good way. I can still move around.

This travel soccer mom finally found the perfect parka for cold, wet, snowy soccer games in fall, wi yet and spring in the Midwest. The warmth of a down coat - but totally wind and rain proof. Love the sleeve guard, zip off fur hood liner, cinched waist makes it cute!

This is beautiful!!! When you put this on, you can instantly feel the warmth. I love the sleeve cuffs! No more wind up my sleeves. Oh yea. About the sizing. I was about to order a Medium because of the online sizing chart recommendation, but I called TNF and got the true garment measurements. I am a 36c, 28w, 36h and the Small fits perfect! (the online sizing chart says I should be Med). Here are the garment sizes according to the rep I spoke with: Small: Chest 40" Waist 34.25" - 36.25" (because of the cinch at the waist) Hip (high) 40.5" Hip (low) 43" Medium: Chest: 42.5" Waist: 36.75" - 38.75" Hip: + 2" from Small sizing I work in a professional office and bought this coat in black. I would consider this coat business-casual The inside zipper pocket fits my iPhone 6sPlus (including case), which is an oversized phone. Lastly, the faux fir trim looks much better in person than in the online image. The online image looks black/white. In person, it looks much more natural with some browns mixed in. Very, very soft to the touch. (Doesn't feel like hay). Would definitely recommend this coat to others!

Looking forward to having this during cold winter

Love this parka so much! I'm 5"1 and slim and small fits me perfectly. Be warn it is heavy, but so warm!

This coat is so warm and stylish!

Really like the fit and warm!

Great product, I will need to change it in size and then it will be perfect.

I absolutely love this coat!!

I had my prior north face coat for 10 years and loved it. Hopefully this will be the same

This is the only super-cold winter coat I will ever need. It looks brand new after 11 years of winter wear - and not ONCE have I ever felt the slightest bit chilly in this coat. I am always cold and wearing this jacket is literally like walking around in a 'box of cozy room-temperature' even in below zero degree weather. I definitely recommend it - nothing comes close to this and the price is SO reasonable if you consider this as the only cold-weather winter jacket you'll need for years to come. BUY THIS.

I haven't worn this coat yet since the weather is still warm here in St Louis, but I've worn a lighter weight North Face jacket during the Fall for several years, so I'm sure I will be completely satisfied. The fit of this coat couldn't be better, and the style and look is perfect for me. I'm confident I will wear it everywhere I go.

I waited too long to get this parka last season and this year I purchased early. I just love the cut and the fit is flattering. It is very warm and I feel I have found a coat that will last me for many many years. I have a mid temperature grade North Face parka for the less severe weather that I absolutely love. Now I have no excuse to not get outside this winter. This coat is really the only reason Im excited for snow this season.

So far so good, but the weather isn't cold enough yet to test it outside.

Love this parka! Warm pockets and warm neck make it the best!

I love this winter jacket, bought one many years ago and got one for last year as a gift and just bought more different color for myself now.

Nice coat

Got it for my sisters winter honeymoon and she loves it as much as I do!! Worth it.

Snow does NOT exist in my hometown, so when I moved to Massachusetts for college I knew the oncoming winter was going to be a point of struggle. This is the coat that is going to get me through New England winters again and again! It is SO comfy and warm and is actually something I look forward to wearing. Bring on the wind and snow- this jacket has me covered!

My daughter hasn't had a chance to use it yet because the weather in Hokkaido, Japan isn't cold enough to warrant the use of the jacket. It does fit much better than the previous jacket we bought--has a "waist" and she no longer looks like the Michelin Man walking down the street (doesn't help that she's pretty short). Seems warm but we'll have to see how well it insulates once the winter REALLY kicks in there. The length is good and it doesn't feel that heavy.
