Had to return the coat because the hood snaps (plastic) wouldn't hold. Good return policy but I've been without a coat for a week waiting for a replacement.

Love the coat. It's super cute and really is a barrier to cold weather. I walked my dogs in 20 degree weather and did not feel any cold air except my face. Only one advice- purchase on an upsize.

The jacket is nice and warm. It is just the right length for me, just above my knees. It is a little more snug than I normally wear but not constricting, its comfortable. The color is very nice, it is the Deep Garnet Red Heather.

Great coat, but was too small for the person the coat was purchased for. Went to a local store that carries North Face coats so that coats could be tried on. Purchased another North Face coat that fits her great and looks fabulous!

I just got this jacket as a Christmas gift from my husband. I was confused on what size to order as many comments said that the jacket fit small but I think it fits true to size! Maybe even a larger fit. After just having a baby and my body being bigger than usual I wanted a jacket that will fit me now and when I loose the baby weight. I am 5"5 155 pounds with broad shoulders and the jack fits perfectly. when I get down to 140-145 the jacket will be a little loose but I don't mind because I will be able to wear big sweaters underneath. So happy I didn't waste money on a goose or nobis. THIS JACKET IS WORTH THE MONEY!

Sad about this coat. It was too tight at the bust and so I had to return it. Going a size up made the rest of the coat too big. But this is otherwise the perfect coat. Super warm, stylish and functional - otherwise exactly what I was looking for.

I use this coat for Chicago's frigid winters. It keeps me very warm. I found that my normal size , small, was too fitted with no room for layers so I went a size up. The zippers are hard to zip up (If it wasn't for this, I would have given it 5 stars).
Overall good coat.

this is a nice coat; comfortable with a good overall shape and fit, however it is not very warm and sheds down feathers quite a bit-making it not worth the cost.

I needed a warm and stylish coat to navigate the cold streets of Manhattan this winter. This coat fit the bill. The faux fur is a little stiff, the only downfall for me.

I bought this parka for an upcoming trip North. I know I will stay very warm in this during the Chicago winter. This Florida girl isn't used to the cold and will be thankful for this parka. I normally wear an XL, but went with the 2XL so I can layer and be comfortable.

Although I really like this coat, i would bean very happy if it had a longer sleeve that could cover the wrist.

Just started using it. So far it's been great. Warm and cozy. The only thing I would say is that it is a little bulky. It is hard to carry a back pack or a shoulder bag. The straps keep sliding down.

I wear it to walk my dog . I live in Colorado and the weather is pretty cold, icy and windy.

Very good quality with fair price. Keep me warm and it is wind resistant and water proof. So it is perfect for winter sports. Cons is that the parka is a little bit heavy.

This is an excellent coat. It feels like you're wearing a duvet! I have no doubt it would stand up to the worst of the cold and wind. I will unfortunately be returning it but only because it is a little too bulky for me. I wish I could keep it!!

Like another reviewer mentioned, the hood completely covers your eyes so you can't see!! I returned the jacket for that reason.

I was eyeing on this product for a long time, was hoping it will going on sale. However, this was never happened. And, I needed to go on Canada for Thanksgiving, so I purchased this parka anyway since Canada is cold, and I can wear it to test how warm this parka is. So, the coat arrived 1 day before thanksgiving day. It was prefect timing. I ordered large but the website says I better suit with size M. But after reading all the reviews, I decided to order one size up, and I am glad I did. Even though the coat is a bit loose on me, but the length is perfect since I am 5"9, weight 136 lbs. So, I'll suggest to order one size up. So, as planned, I went to Montreal and Quebec with this parka. The weather was rainy and snowy when I was there. But this parka did an amazing, kept me from the coldness, winds, and wetness from the rain and snow. I was warm and to a point, I was sweating. I never had this experience with other parkas that I purchased before. So, this is definitely a thumbs up gear that you should go for it if you live in a cold place. I am from Brooklyn, NY. The winter weather here is averagely 20F - 30F, so this parka will definitely keep me warm enough! I received many compliments about this parka from my families and friends. So, I highly recommend this parka and you will love it! The parka was money well-spent!
P.S. => Since North face has many similar styles, make sure you look for this parka with GOOSE DOWN. Dont get the wrong one! Enjoy!

I ordered this in Medium and Small based on the reviews. I am typically a perfect small (5'5", 125#) but in this jacket even the small seemed too roomy. This jacket was a bit too puffy for me and went out at the hips a bit more than I liked. I ended up returning this one for those reasons. If I were to keep it I think I would have opted for the XS.

What a great coat! Almost purchased elsewhere for the full $300. I did want black but for half the price I will settle for the grey. Truth be told I don't love the color in person. It's a denimy grey, almost greenish in some light, but again you can't beat that deal. Wonderfully warm yet somehow not weighing 50lbs. I love how it's not covered in logos. The zipper feels a bit cheapy which is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. But such a great deal and of course amazing zappos service, on my doorstep the next day. Not even cold enough in Philadelphia to wear it yet! I'm 5'3 about 145 and a large fits nice with plenty of room for a bulky sweater.
