Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Very warm jacket, very lightweight, and very comfortable. Everything I'm looking for in a jacket. I've owned quite a few winter jackets before, but this is by far the most comfortable!

Originally got this jacket for Christmas last year in a medium and it just felt too big especially around the waist. Got a small this season and it fits much better, very warm and perfect for cold weather when you also want to look stylish.

This jacket is perfect for winters in the Pacific Northwest! Finding the perfect all around jacket for Portland has been difficult. I did a lot of window shopping for a jacket that would suit all of my needs: Waterproof for the very wet fall and winter seasons, warm enough for the bitter cold and clear days but fitted and flattering enough to dress up or down. This jacket is going to be just the ticket! The down insulation is fantastic, trapping body heat when standing and waiting for the bus. With all of my other jackets I end up freezing once I stop moving, even with multiple layers on. The rain is of course my biggest issue when choosing a jacket, especially with down insulation (which tends to do poorly when wet). The North Face uses great waterproof material on their jackets. I haven't had this jacket for very long, but I've owned a different North Face jacket with a similar waterproof exterior for a couple of years and it has stood the test of time with constant wear and wet weather. It does tend to lose some of its waterproofing abilities over time, but if you follow the proper care instructions you can definitely revive the waterproofing and extend the lifespan. I'm very petite at 5'0", with broad shoulders and narrow waste. This makes it challenging to find jackets that are comfortable in the shoulders, but fitted enough in the waste to give me some shape. The XS fits me perfectly in the shoulders and the cinched, adjustable waistline gives me a fitted enough look to not look like a marshmallow! It is long enough to cover part of my thighs and booty adding to the weather protection. It is comfortable to move around or sit down in. I'm really happy with this jacket so far, but I'm especially excited to test it out when the weather gets really cold in a couple of months.

Got this Jacket for my daughter, it's exactly what it say it would be, we absolutely love it.

Well for a long time I wanted a NorthFace coat, but couldn't find a style to fit me. In stores I could not find my sizes so I never got one until recently, I got my coat and I love it, it fits me in the chest area where I am full at. It also flatters my shape, I am so happy its not heavy and I can still where something else under it. I also am looking forward to purchasing the Women Dunagiri Jacket, I Love the fact that the coats come in XXL, you should also have your stores carry a few of them also.

I love this jacket. It keeps me so warm and comfortable. I give it a 10/10.

Zappos has the best service ever!At first, they accidentally sent me a wrong size, after talking to the super nice customer service lady, they sent me a new one right away, and I received it in 2 days! The lady even told me to hold onto the first one and compare it to the new one so I could actually pick the one that fits me the best! Zappos is absolutely incredible! FYI, the jacket has super nice quality, and doesn't make you look bulky if you get the right size. I'm super happy with the product and I have been wearing it everyday!

This is the warmest coat I've ever bought. Super stylish and super comfy!

Great to wear in cold wind, snow, and rain. Great for as well and very warm.

This coat is great for cold outdoor events ( Football) on the East Coast.

I purchased this coat for my daughter in college. Her college is far north of New York State. It is perfect for the temperatures in her college region.

The coat fits beautifully... really do love my product!

Very warm. Love the material

It's a Christmas gift, so my mother hasn't tried it yet, but I tried it on and it feels very comfortable and warm. I think she will love it.

I bought this coat for my daughter to keep her warm on campus in Ithaca, NY. She's fully prepared so bring it on winter!

I'm using this product as my winter coat, and it has exceeded expectations. Me and my husband are going to Russia in January so I'm hoping this coat keeps me nice and warm!

I was at a lax tournament in 30 degree weather for 8 hours outside. Every women I saw was wearing a North Face. I thought I was at a North Face Convention.

I love this jacket! It is so warm and so stylish! The Juniper Teal is amazing and looks beautiful! I highly recommend it!

This is coat is so warm! When I'm wearing it, I don't feel the cold, harsh winds of the environment. It is the perfect winter parka. I am 5'4" 115 pounds and ordered the XS. There is still room for layers underneath, but it's not too large by any means.

Wonderful coat. Looking forward to keeping warm living here in the tundra "Wisconsin"

Purchased to guarantee warmth during the lower temperatures, hasn't failed me yet.

it was worth the high price. very happy!

My daughter just moved from California to NYC and she absolutely loves the coat, practically lives in it...she's never experienced the severe weather and this will "save" her!!

Looks great feels great and is very warm.

The coat fits awesome and is so warm while still looking insanely stylish.
