Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Great to keep warm. A little snug around the hips.

I really like this jacket. It's warm and cozy. I do wish the sleeves were a little longer. Also, note the fabric. If you are around salty vehicles you WILL get it dirty and it doesn't come off easily. I recommend a damp towel to wipe completely clean. On the flip side, I was recently outside on an 11 degree day for a prolonged period of time and this jacket kept me warm!

I think this jacket would be great for the right person with the right need. I wanted a warm jacket to just wear around the Chicago winters, and while it was incredibly warm, it felt almost too warm for me, and it was really heavy. I didn't think I spent enough time outside to warrant needing this jacket, so I settled on a regular puffer coat instead. It just felt really bulky and weighted, but I have no doubt it would keep someone very warm.

I love the jacket and it is super warm! I got a size bigger so I could wear a sweatshirt under.

I love how this coat keep me warm and toasty in 10s degree weather. The design is nice. I got it in small size according to the size guide but it's a little snug around my hips. The only problem is that it easily attracts lint.

I like the look of this coat but ultimately ended up returning it because it was a medium was a tad too snug in the chest but the large was too big. I loved the fur hood and color of the coat but The fit was just a little off so I went with another style. I'm 5'7, 175# and a medium was slightly too small and a large was too big.

Love the fit of this coat. It's very warm and I like that it's water resistant. I gave 4 stars overall because feathers were already coming out of the lining the first time I wore it. I'm hoping this will subside soon.

Coat keeps me very warm in our extremely cold days we get in Chicago.

This is a high-quality coat that is warm, has nice features, and a luxurious fur hood. I unfortunately had to return it because it was cut such that I was in between sizes.

Wear daily in the Midwest winter. SOOOO toasty warm! Does run a little small but would certainly buy again! Love the length of this coat! IT IS WARM! Just what I was looking for

I like it. It's long. Color true to pics. Very warm and I like the hood. I'm not crazy about the Velcro - it when putting it on it has attached to my sweaters and scarf which I commonly wear during winter.

This coat is comfortable for someone with a long neck...mine is short. When fully zipped, it is up to my chin, and the fabric is stiff and bothers me because it has too much fabric that won't crush down. I needed a warm coat...one that would cover my rear and is also waterproof. I removed the fake fur (a feature I didn't want anyhow) immediately as that was even more bothersome...in my face, etc. The coat IS warm, but not comfortable.

snug

Nice and really warm, beautiful fit. Warm enough for any cold New York winter day with a lot of wind. Looks and feels like durable quality. Two things I would like to see improved on a later version of this coat: buttons instead of velcro as my scarf starts pilling when it sticks to the velcro, and an adjustable waist to further improve the fit.

This coat is super warm, but a bit bulkier than I'd like.

Super warm, but bulkier than I'd like.

I would have given this coat, 5 stars but it has Velcro instead of snaps. The first time I wore it snagged a good sweater. For the price, it shouldn't have Velcro!! With that being said, it is warm and I love the color which is more lavender than light gray.

The style was cute, but the fabric was stiff and "noisy" and it was not exactly a cozy feeling coat. I didn't take it outside to try it out for warmth, so I can't comment on that.

I am happy that I purchased the Arctic parka. It keeps me snug and warm. The only downside is the velcro which keeps opening out. Buttons would be better.

I purchased an XXXL. The coat is snug around the hips are. It has to be risen up when bending or sitting down in the coat. Very warm coat especially for the Windy City or Chicago.

Like the coat a lot! Love the slimming fit and pockets.

I love it and will probably wear for years. The only thing I don't like is the Velcro that covers the front zipper. It opens as soon as I squat down to even pet my dog (and no, it's not too small on me)

Love this jacket! Perfect length and keeps me super warm when out on bus & recess duty. My only wishes are that the Velcro constantly gets caught on my mittens/scarf and I wish there was a draw string of sorts to tighten the waist so it's a bit more shapely. Highly recommend since these aren't deal breakers by any means!

I really love this coat. It is sooo warm, and it looks very chic. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars though is because it's very slim fitting. I am a true medium and ordered a medium, but if I have a sweatshirt or sweater on under, it is kind of tight. Still love it though

Color and fit looked great. You want a warm jacket, look no further.
