Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

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.

I love how warm this down parka is. I am short there for it feels a little longer on me. I have a hard time trying to zip up the small zipper, grasping in my hand to pulling up the jacket. But the comfort the warmth and the hood are all great quality and fit. The coat comes a little past my knees.

Couldn't wait until it came. However, I was disappointed in the fit in the hip area. Had to send it back for larger size. Otherwise, the cost is good quality for the price.

I liked the coat and the color was beautiful but with the sweater it felt too snug.

Super warm but the hood is weirdly small and doesn't stay on my head

I LOVE the look, I love the warmth, I love the fit BUT this jacket is a lint and hair magnet. I don't even have dogs but if I walk passed one I now have hair. I hoping scotch guard will help!!

Bought this for my 19 year old daughter. She really likes it and I feel better knowing she will be warm this winter!

The coatis very warm and I love it Keeps me comfortable when it's cold and windy

I had to get a jacket for our Chicago winters and this for sure is it! Very warm. Very comfortable. Overall design is pretty great. I gave it 4 stars because the sleeves are a little short (I'm 5'-11") but that obviously might not apply a woman of the average height. I also wish they had their vent zippers under the armpits. The jacket gets very warm - it would be nice to get a little circulation but maybe that defeats the purpose of a down jacket? I also wish they had more pockets. There's only a few little ones. Aside from the nit-picky things, this is a great down jacket at a great, affordable price! They last forever and even if parts fail on the jacket, The North Face has amazing customer service to fix them. Hence why it took me 11 years to replace my other winter North Face jacket. :)

Ultimately I love the coat. It's a little puffy and I love how deep the a ide pockets are. I wish there was more pockets!
