Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Good quality and nice style

Haven't tested it in truly cold weather yet, but it's very comfortable and the fit is flattering. Much prefer this closure style over last season's (bought on sale and returned after comparing the two), but do wish the interior pocket still had a clasp/zipper. Not sure why they did away with that. Also appreciate that on the white version the logo is more subtle.

Fits well

Seems warm, but the hood is a tetch annoying. Great color

I really like the jacket. Just know its long but that good when its cold.

Some pockets on the chest would be nice, good lightweight warm coat.

It's lightweight but warm. Looks nice but the zipper sucks.

Good quality! Very warm well made parka. I am 5'7" 118 lb size S fits perfect. Only wish a bigger hood.

This coat is very warm for walking my dog in 10 degree weather. The hood is a little strange and obscures my vision if I don't wear a hat underneath it. The fur definitely helps deflect the wind from my face which I love. It's a bit difficult to get the hang of the low double zipper but it is very handy for squatting down to pick up poo. I'm used to a 3 in one so it isn't as versatile but the long length keeps me warmer on long walks.

Amazing color

Very nice and warm And I can take the faux fur part off I love it

This coat is warm, nice looking and fits well. It's great that the fur can come on and off. Additionally the length is perfect or there is the longer option if someone needs.

Fit is as expected. Sleeves are LONG (and I have long arms). Wish there was a way to cinch down the hood a bit, but making it removable is a nice feature. Jacket is oh, so warm.

I'm absolutely obsessed with the fawn grey color--I really wanted a more cheerful winter coat, and this was perfect. The coat itself is great--it's very warm and well made. Solid material--some complain about the materials of the zipper, but trust me, these are more durable than those flimsy fashionable ones. I ended up going with the premium version of this coat for only two reason: 1. They were out of stock in my size; I thought the medium was sized correctly, but I'm a XS/S. I just can't get away with an M. 2. This is the big one: why are there only two external pockets, and why are they super tiny?! I absolutely would have kept this coat if it had more/bigger pockets. I also think it would have been easy enough to make this a removable hood; I don't personally mind this so much, but I agree with everyone else that it's weird considering the price point. Overall, I would hardcore recommend this coat if you don't mind limited pocket space and a hood that doesn't detached. It's high-quality, warm, and the color is gorgeous.

I use this parka for my daily walks. Very warm. A little bulky around the hips. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars .

I wear this parka for walking on cold days. I live in New England . It is very warm. Its a little bulky around the hips. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

This coat is very stylish and comfortable. It keeps me super warm on cold days and I like the added thumb holes it has. I'm not a fan of how the hood fits to my head. It's not very rounded so the hood sometimes easily falls off my head. The double zipper is a great feature but sometimes the bottom zipper doesn't stay in place and ends up opening on me when I sit or bend down.

Love the color, very comfortable. Sizing is a bit off because I'm usually an XS but it was too tight in shoulders but fine for torso so I had to size up.

It's a really good jacket, keeps me super warm. Maybe the sinching could be better, but overall, definitely recommend

Very good material. Color not as expected

Not enough pockets

Red is like an orange red not true red. Also I have two of these coats from previous years they are HEAVY and full. This one is sooo thin and light in comparison. I am not sure if that is a good thing yet. TBD. If it keeps me just as warm then I guess it's a pro. It just feels sooo light compared to my last two . Bought maybe 3 and 5 years ago.

This is my second Artic Parka. I LOVE this coat. It's great for sub-zero temps. I also love that it protects my thighs from the wind. I'm so glad they went back to snaps on the front, instead of the velcro. The only complaint I have is that the hood is not detachable, like my old one.

Beautiful color and so warm! Unfortunately, I am petite and the sleeves were way too long.

I wear this jacket almost daily during the cold winter season. It keeps me warm but I wish it would fit my body type a bit better.
