Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Nice fit and good quality but the cut is a bit less than desired

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!!

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!

Warm and comfortable but rather heavy.

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.

Good buy

Feels very warm and stylish. Perfect for cold winters

Bought for my 6 foot daughter to wear while abroad in Europe this winter. The coat is nice and long even on her tall frame. She loves the coat but it's too short in the sleeves and doesn't leave much room for wearing with a sweater under the coat. Needed to reorder a size up from her usual size. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the larger size. Should be perfect for her needs this winter!

Just bought this coat today and it is everything that I've been looking for. I do have one hesitation, and that is the way it feels when zipped all the way up. It hits just wrong under the chin. I bought a scarf, since I like the rest of the coat so much, and plan to not zip it all the way. But I'd love for the neck protection to be softer and roomier and a little higher (in case anyone reads these who designs the coats!)

The jacket was a nice fit for my girlfriend. She is 5'9 and the length of the jacket goes to the middle of her thighs. Her sleves felt short when she stretch her arms out. The feel wearing it was 8/10. The pockets side pockets dont feel casual but a bit akward to rest your hands in which is important when you use the jacket a lot during long winters.

I really like the jacket iteself but it was far too big so I have to get a different size. According to my measurements it said I was a large - 70kg, 170cm height, bust size 10F AUSTRALIA, the coat was swimming on me. I'm not sure even a medium will be too big and I have to go via online due to not being in Australia

Very stylish and light wait! Perfect for cold weather living

Bought to use next year in college.

I like to style and fit but looks too long on me.

I loved the Women's Arctic Down Parka so much that I purchased it for the third time. This time I purchased the Juniper Teal. I absolutely love the color. The color looked exactly the way it did on-line. The only disappointment I have is that there are only 3 pockets (two hand pockets and one inside pocket). The two hand pockets are hard to get your hand in and out of without your hand getting caught on the zippers. In addition, they took away the two outside chest pockets (bummer) and the hood looks great however, it allows the wind to come in on the sides. Otherwise, I would have given this Parka a 5 star rating.
