Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Warm coat. Great quality. Runs tight in the hips but if I ordered a larger size it would be too big other places.

I just got this coat for the grueling Wisconsin winter. So far, I love it! I wish it had another pocket or two, but so far, it's warm and cute!

Jacket is exactly as described, only complaint is when bending over the velcro pops open

This winter coat keeps you toasty and comfortable all season. Great snowmobiling jacket!

It's been great for outdoor recess duty! Okay on dates, but going to look for something a bit more fashionable in the future.

Not very fashionable but works as advertised.

It feels nice, don't get me wrong, but it is pretty tight around the waist and the quality isn't as good as my other north face jacket. I'm sure this will keep me warm though during the winter.

I really liked the fill and the thickness of the jacket. I have been looking for a jacket to keep me nice and warm when winter rolla around. I will say that the jacket is a bit long and has little shape and for someone who is not curvy it sits a little wide. Generally very nice though I would reccomend.

This jacket is comfortable and true to size. Love it. Would recommend.

Pretty good material. Wife really liked it. Keeps her warm.

Great investment for winter in NYC. Had to order 3 different times to get the right size though.

Keeps me warm and dry at my granddaughter's soccer games.

I bought this same coat years ago and loved it then! The only thing I wish this version had was a belt that cinches at the waist like the older version! But still love this coat and the color (navy) is lovely.

This is a great coat for cold weather - I am a teacher and I stand outside for extended lengths of time in cold weather - Pacific NW - the coat is windproof and warm. True level 3 for warmth. Slant pockets on sides comfortable placement. Coat runs slightly bigger through the middle and smaller through the shoulders. I could have easily worn a medium around the waist, but through the shoulders it would have felt tight. I am 5'5" and weigh 113lbs. Medium thin build. My regular size for most clothes is Medium and Small. This coat is more flattering than the snow parka because it has a waistline. I had to go with the large to be able to have a sweatshirt under my coat.

A gorgeous coat, unfortunately not cut for my pear-shaped body. Size M: The lower portion fit perfectly around my hips; on top the shoulders were too big, the sleeves were really long. Sad to have to return it.

You can tell this is well built. It'll be warm for this New York winter. Took away one star because of how off the sizing was. I've had to size down twice. Overall happy.

Loving this product so far. Fitted perfectly and doesn't feel as big. And now just waiting for the weather to change so I can use it

Not sure how well it will hold up in the cold.

So beautiful and stylish.

Haven't had too much chance to use the coat yet, however it looks great and definitely warm. The Velcro fastenings have been sticking to clothes when I've carried it, but once you put it on and fasten obviously it isn't an issue.

Really wanted the coat to work out but the med is too tight and large too big. Love the color red though. I hope north face brings the DefDown Parka back.

I got this coat in the grey color. It is a nice coat. Have gotten nice compliments on it. Very warm and easy to move around with it

Can't believe North Face doesn't to mail exchanges I bought in a large... it ran too big in the shoulders. Didn't look great. Once I get $ back I will try to order in a medium

I use this jacket as my winter coat to get around chicago. Love it except for a weird poof in the back because of the drawstring waist.

Finally! A winter coat warm enough for Wisconsin winters, yet dressy enough to wear for an evening out. It's tailored in the waist so it doesn't feel like you're wearing a bulky old snowsuit style coat. Rests about 3" above my knees.
