Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Well as you know winter is coming. You should have a warm, nice waterproof and windproof coat before start winter :O. This coat is a excellent product for winter, which fit with all requirements.

This coat is much more fitted than anticipated so I am exchanging the M for a L and really hope it works. At 5'6", 150# and a straight up and down 37" 32" 39" I am right on the cusp on the size chart. I want to fit something much heavier than a tee under it.

This will get me through the winter, walking to my classes in the Windy City!

For the NYC winters this is the perfect coat...its long mid thigh length and with the material make it basically like a wind + cold barrier. This coat is a definite must have for winter in the northeast....

Love it- it's exactly what I need for winters in Michigan!

Haven't worn it yet but fits great and is super comfy and cute!

Best coat I have ever had!!!!

I hate the cold winters!! This makes it all better!

Love my new jacket!!

Perfect for cold winters

My daughter loves the stylish lines of this parka. It fits fantastic and will keep her warm during the cold winters in Illinois.

Super warm, can't wait to put it to use for my first Chicago winter! Recommended by Chicago winter veterans.

The artic down parker is fabulous, warm and light weight. I love the feel of tge lightweight coat that keeps me warm through the cold weather. I recommend this coat to others.

This coat is comfortable and true to size. I wear a 6-8 and bought a medium. It has room so I can layer underneath for really cold days. The hood is a fashion statement with the fur trim and it compliments your curves the way it is cut.

This coat keeps the wind out and I can't even tell it is cold out when wearing it.

This is a gift for my daughter to use at college. I think she will love it.

The best investment I've ever made in my life and now I finally have it.

Love the stylish aspect of this parka. Looks just like the coat on the website. I wish this came in Brown.

Great coat, warm and stylish

I purchased this jacket, just under a month ago. I first bought a parka that was $500 that I was not in love with, and then decided to go with his one. I am usually a small, but got an extra small because it was the last one they had at the store (and online has been sold out). It fits well, but is a little snug when I give hugs, etc. But that is my fault for getting one a size too small! (it still fits great though and isn't uncomfy but I would suggest that you go with your "normal" size) The pockets are large enough so you can store your gloves in there and other things. I also tend to walk a bunch with my hands in my pockets, and the extra room makes it perfect and comfy. It is VERY warm! I walk to work in single digits and keep warm. I love that the hood has the draw string. You can really bundle up for those cold days and not have your hood whipped off by the wind. I am so glad I made the decision to go with a north face that I though looked appealing and kept me warm. I spent over two hours in the store looking for the perfect jacket and so glad I found it.

Okay so let me first start off with the fact that I LOVE THIS JACKET. Bigger ladies, I have the XXL and although I don't normally take an XXL in clothes (XL in Old Navy, Size 18 Jeans American Eagle) it fits just PERFECTLY. So I'd say its perfect for the lady who's borderline plus size. Its lightweight, yet warm, the fur is amazing, it doesn't look fake at all. The hood is down filled so theres no way you're getting cold while wearing this jacket. The length is PERFECT and the cinched waist gives a great look. In the photos it doesn't show but you can clip up the tails so thats its uniform on the bottom all around. The ONLY complaint I have and I couldn't possibly take a star away for it is that the logo is on the back shoulder instead of near the breast where it usually is. Because lets be honest when we pay nearly $500 for a jacket we want it to be noticeable. But theres one on the sleeve near the cuff and on the back.

This coat is fantastic. Super warm, fitted and looks great. I live in NYC and walk everywhere--this is rough in the winter. I am so excited to have this coat for this season, I know it will keep me extra warm and comfortable while walking around the city. The lining is great and the fur around the hood is a nice touch. Definitely recommend this coat for anyone living in those colder areas where you need some real warmth when outside.

I ordered this jacket for my daughter for Christmas. She was THRILLED! It was exactly what she wanted. She stated it was the warmest jacket/coat she's ever worn...and we need warm here in the U.P. of Michigan. Thank you for making such a awesome product. It looks great on her too!

I walk a lot every day in my commute to work and so far this is the best coat I have got. It is super warm and what I love the most looks great!!

I read scores of reviews, compared coat after coat, and ultimately this one came out on top. I was all set to order until I realized that you can't get it online (sold out and from all partners), so I went to the store and tried one on, and I am glad I did. First off, the website said this coat was out of stock except in black in store. This was not the case. When I got to my store they had green and black and I desperately wanted green. So check your store before giving up hope. Secondly, nearly everyone has said this coat runs small. I would say it really depends on your chest size and body type. I thought for sure I would need a M or even an L. I am 5'7" and 145lbs. I ended up with an S and here's why: - I have athletic arms and shoulders - I have small to medium size chest (34B) - I have athletic/flat stomach If you have a bigger chest you will need the M. If you have a bit of a belly, you will need an M. If you have a very large chest, you will need an L. If you want to wear huge sweatshirts under it, yeah you will need an M or L, BUT it is so warm you will not need them. I am also an hour glass shape. This is important because I tried this and a popular 3-in-1 and my boyfriend said this is way sexier and has good shape. If you have small hips, this coat will be too big on your hips. If you are pear shaped, this might be too big on top to fit your bottom. Lastly, this coat is WARM, hot even. I was burning up trying it on in store. All-in-all I recommend going to the store and trying it on, or (if you have the money) ordering 3 sizes to try. Points to take away: Looks best on hour glass shape Size will greatly depend on bust size and stomach Go to your store as there may be more options than you think!
