Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Coat is warm but poofy. Worth the purchase!

North face parkas never fail to keep me warm ! This coat is very warm and pretty. I took off a star because I've had parkas in the past from north face with way more pockets lol need the pockets! This one has two standard on the sides and just one inside on chest.

It is a nice warm jacket. Little heavy if you are a small person. This is my third jacket from North Face and I have noticed that the jackets come a little smaller in the chest area. I bought XS

There is so much that I love about this coat! From the warmth of the heavy outer material, to the cuffs inside the sleeves. It's a great length and having the front zipper covered is also a plus! I just wish that it had the inner neck collar of the New Dealio Down Parka. The neck of the Women's Artic Parka is a bit rough on my skin when zipped all the way up and doesn't feel as warm as the rest of the coat. Otherwise, it's an amazing coat!

I really love this. I took the fir off the hood because it would get in my face but it's very warm. Only complaint is that if you have broad shoulders it will be a bit tight when you bring your arms together.

This is not my favorite North Face jacket but it serves its purpose. Pros: Keeps you warm, love the hood Cons: Do not like the velcro (my hair gets stuck on it), only 2 pockets

PNW weather 20-40 degrees. 4 stars for the warmth it gives me, very confident about it plus it really keeps me dry. the velcro makes it very uncomfy especially with the facemask on. the fit is off.. im 5'00" 110lbs usually wear XS but this i had to buy S, it's tight on the hips and wide on shoulders

definitely a nice, high-quality coat. I'm usually a small in coats and I found the shape of this one to be too tight on my hips. I wish it had zips or a back vent or something to open it up a little more. For reference, I'm 35, 5'5", 135#, usually a size 4-6 in pants. If you're a little curvier then maybe not the right cut for you. I think a medium would've been too big everywhere else. I tried to try on in store (NYC) but they didn't have any in a medium. wound up with a different, older NF style from amz

Super warm, but a little tight in the shoulders, especially with layers under.

I and 5'3", 135 lbs and have a pear shaped figure. I ordered a Medium and although the top fit beautifully, with even enough room in the arms for a sweater underneath, the hip area was just too snug. I'm returning and ordering a Large but I'm worried the top of the jacket will be too big. This coat is great for a person that's not so "hippy"!

My wife has another older coat like this and loved it. It was getting a little worn as she wears it way too much. Bought her this one and her only complaint is that it's a little stiff. Maybe with some more use it will break in like the old one.

The quality and the length of this down jacket are exactly what I need! I would recommend it if you are looking for a warm water proof down jacket for the winter.

I received this as a gift and The coat is very warm and fits very nice! However the blackberry wine color is A bit of a brighter more vibrant color then I imagined- I wish I got it in minimal gray

Like the coat, got the gardenia colour, which is nice. Seems warm and quite well fitting. I ordered medium which is a bit loose but was worried small would be too small. Usually wear a size 8-10

Warm but not flattering

Loved the look of this jacket but, I ordered a Medium and based on the size chart a small would have been tight in the chest but, the medium had a very large hood and long sleeves. I had to return and will look for another jacket. Sad!!

Overall good the color isn't bright enough but very warm nice parka

I live in North Dakota where the winters are very, very cold! I wanted a nice coat that was warm and stylish enough to wear with jeans and also dressy attire. The length is great, covers the butt and isn't too tight around the hips. The ruched detail in the back gives it a nice added touch to prevent it from looking too boxy. I am typically a size small, but ordered a medium thinking I would want the room for extra layering. I could have stayed true to size as it is pretty roomy and the sleeve length is good. This will be a great versatile winter coat that should last me awhile!

Super warm jacket but it does run big!

Nice and comfortable

I really like this coat. It's warm and looks nice. Hood covers my eyes, so I may not be able to put on the hood, that's a bummer.

This jacket is lovely and warm. I had to exchange my medium for a large because of tightness in my hips. The large is a little longer in the arms but it now lets me walk comfortably without being snug in my hips or thighs. I wear a medium in women's shirt and a 10 in pants.

Perfectly warm and has good coverage. I had initially ordered a medium. I am a medium in tops and a 10 in pants. The medium was too tight around my hips but fit very well everywhere else. I exchanged it for a large, now the arms are a little long, but it fits much better around my hips and I can definitely fit a big chunky sweater underneath the jacket.

Great coat bought this for my daughter and she loves it super warm on her cold school days.

Very warm but not flattering
