Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Very warm very good

I love this coat and am glad that I bought it one size larger. I have a larger chest and this coat in a larger size does not make me look large.

my mom love so mush

Extremely warm and comfortable without being bulky.

I decided to go with another jacket but this one was super warm. I just wanted something a little different. It was much like a coat I had a few years ago...you would be sure to be warm in this!! Thanks North Face for making it so easy to return.

I was originally gifted with a medium size in the gray, but for some reason, I felt it restricted my movement. I loved the coat and the color, but I didn't like the fit. The cinching at the waist made it difficult to bend over, and the sleeves seemed like a Chris Farley sketch/Fat Man in a Little Coat-I'm 5'7, 150 lbs., and normally wear a medium in other coats/jackets from North Face. I returned the coat to my local store and re-ordered a navy size L because North Face didn't have a larger size in the same color anywhere in the US/popular coat it seems. It's a bit big on me, and the sleeve length is longer than I like, but it's super warm so I am not concerned about the fit. Ideally, I would've liked the medium to fit, but in this case, the cut just didn't allow it for me. Will wear it until the wheels fall off.

This jacket is quite effective at blocking out wind and rain. I use it for winters in Michigan and it is amazing. For the price and the quality this jacket is one of the best on the market.

Bought this for the freezing cold winters in Michigan. It does a great job and I highly recommend it! So warm and has more of a tailored fit compared to the others.

I bought this parka to walk the dog in mid-winter weather that typically gets down in the teens (before windchill). It is slim-fitting and stylish but WARM, and surprisingly lightweight given how warm it is. The hood is amazing-I no longer need my turtle fur to protect my neck and it keeps my head, ears and neck warm. It was also a great value given how warm it is.

It keeps me warm while I take my dog for a hike!

I wear this coat in the cold Wisconsin winters.

I needed a jacket because I'm going to Alaska. So I made sure to do a lot research because if I'm going to buy something I'm not going to waste my money. I tested this jacket out while I was in the Poconose. The temperature was 3 with wind. And I didn't feel a single thing. I'm not sure how the jacket will do wet but if you're buying it for a cold windy day this jacket is perfect. I also am 5'6" and 34DD and a bit of an athletic built. So I wanted to make sure the jacket had room in the sleeves because I hate when my arms are restricted in jackets. Typically, I wear a medium or a large but I got the jacket in a XL and I'm glad I did.

I am usually an XL at TNF. Using the fit finder, it was recommended I order a size up (due to my fit preferences and carrying my weight in the belly). This proved to be the perfect size! The back seams, darting, and elastic at the high waist make for a girlish silhouette.

This is my favorite, warmest coat and it isn't nearly as bulky as other down coats that I tried. I like that it has the hard/ windproof outer layer which adds to the warmth as the cold can't get in. Hood is a bit big and doesn't stay on my head very well, but if I'm wearing a hat it all works out.

I go to school in South Bend, IN, where the temperatures can drop so low. I just got this coat and I am in love with it! It's loose enough that I can fit a couple layers under, but it doesn't look bulky at all. I have already gotten so many compliments on this jacket, and I would definitely buy it again!

I wear this coat both to work and for walks. It is very light, warm, comfortable, and stylish. Good size pockets with zippers are a bonus. Every small detail is well thought through. It's the best coat I've ever had. Love it!!! The only thing I don't like about it is black fir on the hood (I've got a white coat). I would prefer brown fir but it's possible to take it off, so it's not a problem.

I wore this in 20 degree weather and it kept me warm. It wasn't to bulky or heavy and I love the slimming effect of this Parka

I bought this jacket for a three week trip to Paris in January. It was perfect! I was warm and dry the entire time. The jacket is comfortable and easy to move in. The pockets are warm and the hood is big enough to wear over a hat if necessary. Great purchase!

Great winter coat! I have a mile walk to work and this coat keeps me warm in the cold Midwest winter. I haven't experienced feather shedding.

I had bought this coat and then returned it. But after I couldn't find something else that was just as lightweight, fitted and stylish I rebought- and I'm so happy I did! Love the double zipper on the jacket (I'm constantly zipping the bottom up when sitting in my car). The sleeves and length are as expected- love that the back is a little bit longer. The pockets are warm (fleece lined) and the hood is removable (and the fur is also removable). The waist has a fitted look which is flattering. Overall would recommend to anyone woman!

Great winter coat! Love it

Too small and tight around the chest and waist area.I recommend using the size chart. I usually wear medium but it's def too tight. It's a beautiful coat! I have to return it and right now the L size is out of stock so I'm super sad about it. Hopefully I will get lucky and find it in stores when I return this one.

Love love LOVE this coat. I am someone that is always cold and this coat has changed everything!! Thankful that I now look forward for my walk to work because I know i'm not going to freeze my butt off!

I bought this in store. It's SO warm. I love that it's waterproof, windproof, and I find it MUCH more comfortable than my outer boroughs parka. (Less restrictive). I'm 5'10 and the sleeves are long enough in the size large! I'm normally a medium in NF, but for the length (and being able to wear a big bulky sweater underneath,) I sized up. I love this jacket!

This is a very warm winter coat. Perfect for cold weather. I will purchase another in a different color. Highly recommend.
