Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

I wear this coat every day and live in NYC so I spend a lot of time walking outside in the cold weather. This is so much warmer than other coats I have had that it is no longer torture in the winter months! Love this coat. Fits perfectly.

I had a little trouble with the zipper, but this coat is so warm and stylish. I am very happy with it.

I bought this for when I'm uptown it's my "nice to wear to work parka" and it's awesome. Warm, stylish and honestly couldn't ask for a better winter coat. It keeps me so warm on the commute to and from work. Would highly recommend

Snug but very,very warm,can only wear it in freezing rain and really cold days, otherwise two steps and overheated. But it really is waterproof and very warm. Bought it after the Women's March, and froze in my old soggy coat, now I can manage in any kind of downpour and cold!

Fits snug, but it is REALLY warm and waterproof, definitely Winter only, tied to wear it past February, couldn't last more than a few steps before getting overheated

I LOVE this jacket! It's the warmest, coziest, most comfortable winter coats I've ever worn. Perfect for cold weather, and it fits great! I wear a small in most brands, but a medium in North Face. Very stylish. The New Taupe color looks way better in person than online. It's pretty much like an olive drab green. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this coat. The only complaint I have about it isn't even about it, the weather has been to warm for me to need to wear the coat. I've been leaving my air conditioning on just so I can wear it! It's so comfy and warm. The zipper is very low so it took some practice zipping it up, but I love this. My last coat was a North Face coat, and it lasted for 5 years. I'm looking forward to hearing this one just as long.

This is a very warm coat, yet lightweight coat with the usual North Face quality. It's roomy enough for bulkier sweaters and things, but not so much that I feel the wind whipping through. Its exactly what I was looking for to get me through a northern winter.

I like it so much! Where I live snows a lot and this parka is heavy and can prevent the cold! The length is above the knee and can cover the thigh, which is warm enough. I'm 5'4'', 113 lbs and wear S.

I have 3 of these coats! Black, grey & navy. I love this coat. I'm in a northeast urban city. This coat is great for those windy cold slushly days. I always buy a xxl to comfortably fit a hoodie underneath.

This is by far the best coat I've ever worn, or even seen. It is SO heavy, in a good way, thick, puffy, heavy duty. I think it would be near impossible to rip it due to the thick exterior shell (so many coats have that thin, slippery fabric!). I live in MN where it's regularly -20 before windchill, and I can walk the dog in a TANK TOP under this and come back sweating. Forget trying to wear it in weather above 20, it's a sauna. And I'm a naturally cold person. It looks stylish, and fits well. I'm 5'4, 160, and bought a large. This coat will last a lifetime!

I use this coat for cold weather and 5the winter weather. It helps keep me warm and is very cute too wear.

This is my second winter with this coat, and I love it! I often work outside in very cold, snowy conditions, and the coat has kept me warm and dry without being too bulky. I frequently hike to winter field sites in deep snow, and climb up granite slopes. Despite the wear and tear, the coat has held up really well! The outer material is incredibly durable and keeps rain, snow, and wind out. I am 5'4" and bought a L, which fits well even with a midweight layer underneath. I also have a larger bust (36F) which can cause other coats to feel too constricting, but this parka fits well. All in all I definitely recommend this coat!

Bought this for my daughter and she loves it! She consistently raves about it!

I love this jacket. Being from MN, it's important to have a warm jacket. This jacket is warm and very comfortable, and it's waterproof as well, which is great for the autumn rains or wet snow. As a side note, I would typically buy a size small in tops, but I used The North Face size guide and it recommended that I buy a medium, which I did, and it fits great.

I am writing this review for people who might be trying to decide between the Outer Boroughs Parka and the Arctic Parka. I purchased both of these to try out at home. I am a true size L, 5'7"/34D and the L in the Arctic was a perfect fit. The Outer Borough was way too tight in a L and too large in an XL. The Outer Borough may have better pockets but I will be keeping the Arctic and can't wait for it to get cold now!

I love love love this jacket! Not only is it super cute but it is also SO warm! I just love it. Totally worth it! Would recommend to anyone.

Very Warm coat definitely recommend this coat.

This is a great jacket! I'm from CA and I'm braving my first east coast winter... this jacket has already been a lifesaver! It's stylish and comfortable and WARM!! Once I get inside I need to take it off because I'm so warm! Highly recommend this jacket!

I am 5'3" and 156lbs. I have a small waist with larger hips and a 36D bust. The coat is a perfect fit through the shoulders and sleeves. I knew that the medium I ordered may be a little snug in the chest and hip area. With that said, I LOVE THIS COAT. Yes, it is snug but it also shows off my shape in a way that is hard to find in winter coats. The light grey heather color is darker than pictured as I had hoped it would be. The coat is SO warm and I love the hood! This is the warm, stylish winter coat I have been looking for!

This product was all that I had hoped it would be. Even though the sizing tool said I would be a medium, based on the clothes I wear I ordered a small and it's the perfect size and still with enough room to later. It's got such a nice look that I can wear it casually or for business while ensuring I stay warm.

I spent days and days searching for the perfect winter jacket within a somewhat reasonable price range. I needed something warm, windproof, waterproof, something that covered my butt but still had a woman's shape to it and of course it had to look pretty. It was between this jacket and something similar from Columbia, which was the brand of my previous winter jacket. Both were the same price but I really liked that North Face used goose down instead of duck, the fact that it has a windproof/waterproof fabric, the color/pattern (I chose the gray herringbone - LOVE IT) and I really liked the shape/style of the jacket as well. I'm so happy I decided to go with this one because I really love it. In comparison to my old Columbia jacket it feels much better quality like it will last way longer and overall style is much more pleasing to the eye. Also the "comfort cuffs" feel much thicker and warmer on the North Face and the hood seems to be better constructed as well. I love the cinched waste line too. The whole jacket is better constructed from start to finish, really. I literally cannot wait for the cold weather to hit Philly and I typically hate cold weather (hence the purchase of this jacket). I would definitely recommend using their size chart/questionnaire thingy because I almost ordered an XS but listened to the recommended size which was a Small and I'm glad I listened otherwise I'd have to be mailing it back for an exchange right now. All in all 5 stars. I would give more if I could. Thank you North Face!!

I've been wanting a dark green coat for the last few years and finally I have one. I have a straight build with wider shoulders than hips and this coat helps to give me more lower body curves. Although the main purpose of this coat is to keep me warm in cold NYC winters, I still want to look and feel feminine.

Just bought this jacket on Saturday, from the color to the fit, it is amazing!

Warm and lightweight. Great for outdoor soccer games.
