Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

I purchased this coat recently after taking time to look into the different qualities of winter coats. I love North Face and knew a parka would be able to keep me toasty in the brutal cold winter of the north east. I'm a skinny woman who is always cold, so I needed something that could actually keep me warm. It hit 30 degrees last week, and I was bundled inside my parka! I was so happy to have the coat, the only thing that felt cold on me was my face. I'd recommend this to anyone!

For 7 years I wear north face jackets in winter time I must say its best brend for cold weather ! What is important it's also looks good ... This year I get new arctic parka looks amazing even better then on the photo keeps me worm all time highly recommended for people whom looking for good quality product

I loved it, it is really good I recommend it, it is what I was expecting

This coat fits it's purpose! Super warm considering the winds from Hudson river. Warmest coat I invested in vs landsend coat!

I love this coat! I was pretty nervous ordering it online since I am very tall and tend to have issues finding things that are wide enough for my shoulders and long enough for my arms but this coat is perfect. I am super warm in it and the color is absolutely beautiful! So happy I decided to purchase it.

I bought this coat for an upcoming move to Alaska and needed a longer winter coat. This was exactly what I was looking for! I'm 6ft tall and 220 lbs and bought a xxl, it is perfect and roomie enough to wear lots of layers and hits be just above my knees. I cannot attest to how well it will withstand the cold in Alaska but I have worn it in some 20 degrees weather and have stayed toasty warm!

I love this coat! I had plenty of compliments and everyone I bump into even strangers love my coat! Definitely worth it!! It's beautiful and very warm!!!

Ordered the parka. It was too small. I'm 5'7, 130lbs and fit chart indicated a S. It was very tight under the arms with a t-shirt weight on. I loved the parka other than the wrong size and have reordered in M. It is not a bulky jacket feel like a puffer jacket. Has an overall nice finished and fitted look.

This Parka is definitely an investment worth having - SO stylish and warm. I love the fit of the size I ordered, it isn't bulky - I am 5'3 and 120 lbs and ordered a Small. I am proud to walk around in this coat. The cuffs around the wrists are great, they are comfortable and warm. I love how the hood doesn't fall off and hugs my face. Obsessed with the color too!

This coat is great. It fits well and is nice and warm.

I go to a lot of snocross races so I am outside in really cold temperatures. I have been in Minnesota when they were having record-breaking temperatures and I wouldn't have wanted to wear any other coat. The length definitely adds warmth. The hood is really cute with the fur. Some down coats look bulky and unflattering but this one is a very nice shape.

I ordered this as a birthday present. It is spectacular. I am rather hippie, so I sized up, but really, the M would have done just fine as well, really depends on what you intend on wearing underneath. It very fluffy, but not bulky, and the hood adjustable to enable a more restrained fit against the head. The sleeves have a neoprene-type lining which hugs the wrists perfectly - it keeps the jacket from bringing in draft through the sleeves. The zipper is a bit fussy, but no big issues. All in all, my husband is now itching for a similar jacket as well after seeing the quality!

my artic down parka came right on time fits perfectly and very warm happy with my purchasw!

I recently bought this for my daughter who lives in the city and takes public transportation. She LOVES it!! It keeps her toasty warm and plus it is waterproof. I do not regret for one second buying this!!!

I live in Las Vegas Nevada and the temperature gets in the low 40's during the winter time. I take my dogs to the dog park everyday go and spend an hour outside so I needed a really warm coat to with stand the cold winter days. I am ready now for winter.This coat is one of the best investments I have ever made!. Warm, light weight and stylish. I am very happy with my purchase. :)

Questioning whether or not you should buy this or any NORTHFACE product? Sent my Artic Parka in to have a zipper replaced. After 6 or so years of playground duty it wasn't sliding correctly. Replaced, free postage, no problem! Remember this when you think you want to buy some other product, totally worth every penny---a forever warranty! Thanks North Face!

After experiencing the polar vortex in Chicago last winter, I realized it was time for a new coat. This coat is super warm and very comfy, I highly recommend it.

I was most pleased to find this jacket. The length is perfect...hits at upper thigh, so I'm well covered. There are knit cuffs, so there's no breeze up the arms. There are snaps to secure the flap over the zipper (no velcro for junk to get caught on!), and this is the first hood ever that is not huge...it fits quite nicely. I love the fact that the puffy down is on the inside and that it has a smooth, fitted appearance (thanks for the little elastic in back!) on the outside. I like it so much, I've debated purchasing a second one for use years down the road in case someone foolishly stops making this one!

I love wearing this parka. It's so warm and easy to move around in. I'm a videographer and must be free to move around when working outside. It's perfect.

I was concerned after reading several reviews that the coat ran small. I am normally a medium with North Face apparel. I took a chance and ordered the medium anyway and I'm glad I did. I wear a lot of thick blazers for work and the medium fits over those just fine, as well as over chunky sweaters. I am 5'9 and about 155 lbs with pretty wide hips and am very pleased with the fit. I didn't want something too bulky looking; I wanted to be able to wear it to and from the office without looking like Randy from 'A Christmas Story'. This jacket has a very nicely defined waist, is the perfect length and has great pockets. The length hits me just right, at the middle of my thigh, which I love. The only thing I will say is that my chest is on the smaller side so I can see how if you are larger on top, a medium may be too snug. My concern was with the bottom of the coat fitting properly, which it does! As for warmth, it gets an A+. Super warm but not heavy by any means. I have another North Face coat that is also goose down and it feels like it weighs 10 lbs. This coat is lightweight but definitely warm enough to handle the unpredictable New England weather. Overall, I love this coat!

I received the parka about 4 days ago and so far I LOVE it. I live in Northern MN where temps have been in the teens and lower with the windchill and it has kept me warm for the short time I have had it. I am 5'5 and about 145 lbs (average build). Even though the fit tool recommended a medium I went with a size large based on other reviews and it fits perfectly and I can wear a sweater comfortably. I'm looking forward to having a warm coat that can withstand the cold MN winters.

Purchased this due to cold winter weather. I wore it to watch a football game. It kept me nice and warm despite the cold wind. I am looking forward to being warm outside. Now just to find the perfect boots.

It is warm, stylish and not too bulky. I love the grey color with the light fur around the hood. it's not easily pack able because it's a thick coat but it's great in every other way.

Beautifully designed coat. I like the color. Very impressive coat for plus size women. If your bust line is a C or D cup! The coat will be tight! I bought the XXL. It's the right size! I won't need to wear a sweater inside the coat. Very, very warm, especially for the cold weather we just got in Minnesota. This coat arrived on time! North Face, please continue to design more plus size coats. I really like this coat. Thank you! Gigi. Plymouth, Mn

LOVE<3 LOVE<3 LOVE<3 Very excited for Winter to come!!! The coat fits great, perfect length. Im 5'9" bought the medium and it fits perfect.
