Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

I love this jacket because it looks great and it keeps me warm. I mostly wear it for everyday use but I did wear it skiing when I didn't have my shorter jacket with me and it worked great.

I recently moved up to Boston and realized that none of my jackets were keeping me warm. I heard many glowing reviews about this jacket, and it really lives up to the hype. I'm never cold when I'm wearing it, and there's even a tighter fitting sleeve inside the jacket that keeps you even warmer. There's a great pocket inside the jacket and the outside pockets have a soft material inside, keeping your hands really warm! If you're at all worried about the cold, I would seriously invest in this jacket. It's incredible.

Comfortable, warm, and stylish.

I LOVE my new Arctic Down Parka. I've tried out a well-known brand that was 3 times the price and returned it after a couple months because the hood didn't fit well, the outer material was too stiff, and the sleeves were too long. The North Face Parka fits perfectly. It's warm, pliable, and the down lining is soft and hugs you comfortably. The style is sleek and looks great with skinny pants and boots as well as skirts and dresses. I work at a firm in Wall Street NYC, and I wear my coat traveling to and from work most days. I removed the fur from the hood because I like the simpler look. I think there should be different fur options for the trim so you can choose the fur type and color, or possibly buy another piece to change off. But I like to switch things around to change the look. This isn't a problem though, and I really can't think of anything that is negative about it.

Perfect

love this jacket so much I wear it everywhere....kids games (indoor and outdoor) .....errands.....busy life

I just love it

This jacket is the warmest coat I've ever owned! Although I had to go up a size because the sleeve length was too short I appreciate the extra space so I can wear layers. Unfortunately, it is still a little big but I compromised since I wanted a jacket that would fit no matter what I wear. I usually keep it unzipped.

This parka looked exactly as pictured. The insulation is incredible and it's super light weight. I love the detachable hood as well. Great product overall!

This is the warmest coat I've ever owned! Living in Michigan, the winter months can be brutal but this coat keeps you so warm. I get compliments on the heather green constantly, and the fur trim hood is good quality. Definitely a worth while purchase.

i love the jacket , keeps me warm and snug, even when it is bitterly cold.

Received this parka as an early Valentine's gift. I absolutely love it! Living in Winnipeg, a coat that keeps you warm is absolutely necessary. It has done a fantastic job keeping me warm. It really keeps your body heat in and the cold and wind out. It is the perfect length, it goes about mid thigh for me. Only suggestion I have is if you do have a bit of a bigger chest and are ordering, I would probably size up one size. Other than that, I have zero complaints. Would definitely recommend!

It took me a long time to find a heavy, durable and warm winter jacket that can keep up with my needs. I live in Minnesota, it's cold...it's windy and I tend to spend a lot of time outdoors, this coat is just want I hoped for. Although the arm length for ME, personally, is a little too short but that is really a non issue. For the most part it is waterproof too, as I laid on my back to fix the snowplow on my pickup, I did not feel damp after. Not to mention it's cute and easy to clean (I have boys...those things don't usually happen for me) This jacket is tough and worth it. I am 5'4 and a size 16, I bought an XXL.

I absolutely love this jacket! When i seen it i was hoping it would fit i tried on the XL and it fit wonderfully with room to wear a sweater or layers if i needed. I liked it because it goes in at the waist a little showing a figure and not just straight down. Love how deep the pockets are and they zip up and i love that the hood dont go down over your eyes. When you look at this jacket you dont think that it is down but when you put it on its so soft it feels like you are wrapped up in a duvet. I have been looking for a jacket like this for a very long time and so glad that i have found this one.

I bought this on a winter vacation in Vail. I bought it because it looks perfect with my black Joan of Arctic Sorel boots. I didn't ski in it; it is pretty long so I don't think it would work well for that. I did wear it to play in the snow and to go snow tubing in though. It was so perfect for both of those things, I stayed warm and dry the entire time! I think the price is pretty on point for the product. Very happy with my purchase!

Graphite Grey Heather color looks as light as the Medium Grey. I wanted a dark grey.

Ordered the parka, recieved in two days. Needed a smaller size, so returned it. Customer support was super helpful and return was simple. Got smaller size parka quickly and return was also credited quickly. Zappos's is a great business.

I purchased this at the end of last year specifically for a trip to Chicago. Living in Florida, I don't need coats and think 30 degrees is freezing. I didn't have to worry about being cold at all in this. It kept me nice and warm while walking outside. There may have been ice on the ground but my body didn't feel it. I didn't have to layer underneath either. I definitely recommend this to everyone.

GIt this for my mom and she loves it, good length and style

The Women's Arctic Down Parka was the answer I needed for cold walks on open ground when going to work at the airport. I actually look forward to testing the coat in colder conditions. I don't have to cringe when I walk outside in single digit temps.

Never wanted to pay this price for a jacket but I really needed one as I've out grown all my others. Was not disappointed what so ever. Everything about this jacket is great. Length is midthigh for me (5'3) so it can be worn with any type of outfit. So extremely warm! This product was well worth every penny!

This is an absolutely beautiful jacket. I have it in Rosin Green Heather - the color is amazing. I've received many compliments on it. I love the length - it keeps your butt and thighs nice and warm. With it being a down-filled jacket, you may expect it to be bulky or constricting, but it really isn't. I've used it while hiking and the only thing negative I can say is that it is almost too warm! So, if you're doing physical activity in it, and it isn't super frigid out, you'll likely sweat a bit. But that's much better than freezing, of course! Also, I've used it while bird watching and photographing, and there have been no issues with carrying my camera and binocular bags over top, or with constantly moving my arms up and down to use those pieces of equipment. I highly recommend this jacket!

The primary reason for the coat was to stay warm as I welcome students each morning at bus duty! I have found the coat to be warm and stylish -- I am wearing it for far more than bus duty. I have received countless compliments from parents and my staff.
