Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

I grabbed the Small (usual M) & it fits nicely. Very warm and the material keeps the elements out. Could wear anywhere & I would definitely buy again

I've been very happy with this coat. It's kept me warm through some fairly cold temps (Chicago winter). It is a bit heavy, but it's not too bad for how warm it is.

I absolutely love this jacket!! The only few downfalls are: Weight of the jacket, restriction of my movement in the jacket, and it's not as ventilated as I'd like.

Overall I like it. It's does it job - keeps you warm and dry.

Good for cold weather

This jacket is super warm. The fur on the hood is not too big. The jacket is great for cold winter days or time spent in a cold hockey rink.

Comfortable and warm

This is a great winter coat. It keeps you extremely warm while being lightweight. The fur is a nice touch and you can remove it when you want to. The only issue is that the hood tends to restrict your neck movements, especially when paired with a beanie

Coat is warm and comfortable. Fit seems to be true to size with room to wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. I get lots of compliments on how it looks too. Only problem I have is there is something rough on the inside that irritates my neck when it's zipped up. Nothing a scarf can't fix though.

Very warm coat, perfect for Wisconsin winters! Only con is the Velcro closures over the zipper. EVERYTHING sticks to it! My gloves, scarf, face mask, etc. Would have preferred snaps. Otherwise, I love it!

I have an older version of this coat. It was way too restrictive at the armpit area. This new version solves that problem. The sleeves are updated at the wrist and are nice, soft, flexible. It's still a gorgeous and warm coat. Now, the downsides, the upper back is a bit puffed out, so the fit still could use improvement. There's velcro in front with the zippers, and I hate them with a passion. Velcro on my coat(s) have destroyed so much of my other stuff, whether it's hats, scarfs, leggings, etc. Please stop using Velcro.

The jacket is very warm. It has a nice length to it. It is very stylish. The only complaint with the jacket is the hood. I wish it would come up further on the head. The zipper slightly jabs me in the throat if I have it zipped all the way up without the hood on. The pros outweighed the cons for this jacket. I would recommend it. It kept me warm in Michigan winter and will last a long time!

I really liked this coat. It is very warm for cold Boston days. My only real negative is the flap over the zipper closes with Velcro and I wish it was buttons or magnets. It is a little annoying that it will loudly open or get caught on something. Also I am usually a medium in north face coats and this one I do think I could have a better fit with a large. The medium doesn't afford much room and when I have a sweatshirt on it feels tight with it zipped up. I also think the pockets could be warmer but it definitely keeps the rest of my body toasty. It is very stylish too.

I absolutely love my jacket however, on cold Canadian days like today, I really wish the women's jacket included the built in face/neck warmer like the men's Gotham jacket

Bad zipper

Everything is great except the double zippers

Love the jacket! Warm and long! But sleeve length is too short medium too bulky, so returned for small, I just wish sleeve length came in tall! Please :)

Great every day coat for walking outside in Chicago winters.

This coat is amazing! Keeps me warm in a Boston winter and the fur hood gets a lot of compliments!

Love how warm this parka is and the style. I dislike how bulky it is in the shoulder area and the Velcro pulls my hair. I plan to keep it, but thought others should note this when purchasing.

This parka was ALMOST perfect - nice cut, wrist cuffs, waterproof... however it had a fatal flaw and I had to return it. The placket/wind flap over the zipper is entirely velcro, meaning it snags my scarf, my mittens, my sweaters... not worth ruining every knit winter accessory I own by getting it stuck on the velcro.

I really like the parka. It appears to be very warm and it fit well (I am 5‘9, size 12 and ordered a size large). However I will be returning, because the item arrived with a lot of wrinkles and the care instructions say not to iron it. If it wasn’t for the wrinkles, I would definitely keep it. Sadly, back it goes

I brought this coat in Blue for my daughter. It looks very stylish on her. However, she typically wears a 2x. It was small on her; but she would not return it due to the limited inventory. The next day I saw her she wore it well and it fit a little snug; but it look very good.

Nice coat, and very cute. Fits perfect.

Vary nice jacket I got for the wife
