Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

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

Now I have purchased this coat for the last three years but I ordered this one in the same size and it was humongous on me returning it's not like the other coats I purchase from Northface they are changing why change I don't get it

Love this jacket. Got in the black with plaid inside. The only negative is the cuffs at the wrist are somewhat big. I wish they were a little tighter.

I love the fabric and the length and the warmth. It is durable for my outdoor work with animals. BUT: The knit storm cuffs are not tight on my wrists, maybe they need some elastine woven in? Also, I have had other winter coats that have a longer stormcuff with a thumbhole - maybe NorthFace can work at this design. Additionally, it would be nice if the inside of the collar had a light fleece lining. Otherwise, I am very happy with this coat . ( size medium, 120 lbs, 5'6")

I absolutely love this jacket, I purchased it in the green colour in a size small. I'm 5'2 and 130lbs. It is a bit on the long side as it hits the top of my knees, I would prefer it be slightly shorter, but not a deal breaker. It is warm and cozy on the colder days and very cute

I love this jacket, but I was aware how it would fit me. Unfortunately as a 4'10 woman the jacket comes up to my nose when I zip it up all the way. I feel it should be alittle lower on the neck even for someone taller than me. With that said everything else it great quality. I love the fur which looks EXPENSIVE. It boots my confidence and makes me feel warm in harsh weather.

It is a beautiful jacket that can keep you warm without completely hiding your shape. The only downside is that this jacket seems to attract quite a bit of lint and in my case, dog fur. Especially since I got the black jacket, my golden's hair is really evident. I just have to invest in a lot of lint rollers I guess?

I really wanted to like this coat as COVID has me taking many walks during the day as I work from home. With the colder weather upon us, I am looking for a longer coat that I can wear to continue my walks comfortably. I am sure this coat is warm, but I returned it because I wasn't fond of the overall look on me. In addition, the fur around the collar is SO big, making it look awkward rather than stylish. Sure would like to have liked this coat better. Still looking...

Love this coat Covers torso and goes to thigh looks warm

I bought this jacket using my HCP discount, but had to return. I followed the measurements down to a tee, re-measured again and size chart says I'm a size small. I tried it on, and I looked like a bell. It was too big for me. I asked if I can return and order for an XS, however the jacket no longer qualifies for the HCP discount. I was very sad as I really wanted to like this jacket and wanting to buy a good winter jacket for this coming Canadian winter season. Canadian winter is brutal. But I cannot buy this in regular pricing, it's out of budget for me.

This is so much cuter in person than in the photos. I personally have thr olive one and LOVE it. My only issue is that its relatively bulky and sometimes the zipper sticks. Otherwise, this jacket is incredibly stylish and SO warm. I'd buy it 10x over.

5'7 135 pounds. Ordered a M but was too big. Small fits well. Can wear a lightweight jacket underneath and not feel restricted. Black is more of a faded black like it's been washed quite a few times. Velcro seems cheap. Doesn't stay in place that well at the bottom. Hits just above the knee. Hood does seem a bit short at the front without the fur.

It's early in the season but I have worn it quite a bit for about a month already because I can't stand any little bit of cold. I like the feeling of the fabric and filling, it's like sitting on a pillow. It's bulky yet quite comfortable and doesn't feel suffocatingly hot. The outer fabric is nice and matte, sleek, and doesn't have me feeling like a squeaky tire, like my old bubble parka. On the downside. The arms are short. I know I have long arms, I just measured, about 32 inches. The jacket arms kind of stop awkwardly at my wrists, even with the inner fabric extended at the wrist it doesn't sit right. I also feel like the zipper is plasticy and cheap feeling. It's difficult to connect the two sides and put them together. The fit of the coat isn't very flattering but I'm more concerned with warmth, and I like feeling insulated, so far it does the job. I also feel like the hood could use a bit more oomph but we haven't hit a windy -30 degrees yet so I can't fully judge. Overall I don't really want to return it because it's the best value option. I bought this with my healthcare discount, I had my old winter coat for eleven years because I couldn't afford hundreds of dollars for a new one. I was so excited to be able to afford a new coat and I'm very grateful to The North Face for looking out for healthcare workers this winter. I'd still recommend this jacket if it fits your needs, and North Face overall.

Overall good Parka. Keeps you warm in cold weather. Definitely recommend to size down.

I absolutely love the Arctic parka. It keeps me warm and dry on the coldest winter days. I would absolutely recommend this jacket. I have one that I have been wearing for about 14 years and is still in almost perfect shape. I got a new one this year in a different color because I love it so much and I was so disappointed when it arrived because there were a couple changes that I really don't like. First, they replaced the snap closure over the zipper with Velcro. Second, the hood is no longer fully detachable. Also, the logo stitching is now white instead of the same color as the jacket. I'm not sure any of these are deal breakers because I got a great discount on the jacket, but still very disappointing to see these changes in my favorite parka...

I love this coat feels good an looks great i have it an black i would get th gray

I love it so much but I got it to wear in the rain as well and the hood slips right off. There's no way to adjust it to your head.
