Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

I really wanted to love this coat. It is replacing another long coat I have that I love. The only thing is it is too big in length and arms so I have to return it.

I use this when walking my dog in cold Pa weather. It is nice and comfy and warm

Looks nice and warm but would have been nice to have a way to synch in the waist. The zipper is poorly made

The coat was not too warm when I put it on and walked through a long building to the parking lot. It seemed perfectly windproof in Minnesota winter.

Warm, stylish, and waterproof. Great pocket depth; I don't like to carry a bag. Hood is on the small side.

I bought this to have a good long warm winter coat. It's perfect for that and I got it on sale so it was worth the price for me

RUNS WAY TOO SMALL GOT XL FIT LIKE A MEDIUM . USED SIZE GUIDE PROVIDED- NOT FOR NORMAL SIZED PEOPLE . SEEMED TO BE VERY WARM. LIKED THE WAY IT LOOKED.

I will predominately use this jacket for sub zero temps during everyday activities, ie going to work, just to/from places. I hate being cold & after wearing my husband's North Face for several years decided it would be nice to have a jacket that fits my body shape.

I love the length. It's super comfortable and warm. I wish it was a little larger in the chest area. The hood is fuzzy and nice.

Everyday coat. Warm and nice coat. Just runs a bit small.

I just got this coat after many days of searching for a quality warm, water resistant coat. It is all of that plus much more. We live in an area where the wind chill is biting cold with snow (MI) and I am kept toasty warm in this coat. I am 5'6", 140 lbs and small framed. I ordered up a size to a Large after reading it ran small, and it does run small! The coat fits snug with an polar fleece jacket underneath and the sleeves are about two inches too short. I am keeping the coat but am going to have to do something about the short sleeves, my wrists are exposed between my gloves and the storm sleeves and just stinks on this Northface.

I bought this coat for the winter season in Seattle and I love it. Perfect for the rainy cold winter. I am 5'4 115 lbs, I purchased the olive color in XS which is my normal size but was a tad bit short in the arms. It was also a little snug, I would definitely suggest to order a size up especially if you plan on wearing sweaters underneath.

I love this coat. I even bought for my mom and sister. Worth spend money on it. I love north face and its outerwear products are addictive.

I've used this jacket on my snowshoeing trips, my only issue is that when I get too warm and want to remove a layer I can't pack this away without using all of my pack space. That being said I still love it and will still wear it on my trips.

This jacket fits nicely and keeps me warm! And the green color is beautiful in person

Bought this coat for my trip to Alaska... Perfect not bulky and very warm!

I like the sporty look and feel of the coat/ also like the color navy

I wear this coat in cold New York weather. Good coat but not made the way it was made years ago. Much lighter, thinner material and less down fill. Overall though it is still made good. Also, I got an extra large instead of what I normally buy: large.

This coat is a great price for what it is. Extremely warm and comfortable. Unfortunately I had to exchange it for a different size because it felt too snug to me in the belt region

This is a great coat for what I needed it for-- walking around the cold city of Boston & staying warm. Major pros are that it's really cute and super warm. In weather of -5 to 30, it is a perfect jacket for cold weather. The hood is a little smaller than I'd personally like, but still covers my head and stays put. I read another review previously about the zipper being a bit finnicky, and I agree- it could be better. I originally ordered a medium thinking it would still be fitted enough to layer, but I realized I did not need to layer underneath as it kept me very warm, so I exchanged for a small which fits great! The width at the bottom is a bit bell-shaped, which is also where the smaller size allows for a better fit overall.

I love the look of this coat, lots of compliments so far. Hood detaches if desired. Great length, hits around mid-thigh (I am 5'4"). The sleeves have elastic so wind does not enter through sleeve hole. Only thing I have trouble with is the zipper occasionally, but overall like this coat.

I bought this juniper teal color arctic parka in the end of Jan from the North face website in Canada and the product reached me at the est time7-10 Business day. It was a lovely colour and jacket feels warm(I love teal color), but it was not that super warm when you compare with other nf jacket like Tremaya, or Shavana. To me it feels like daily jacket towards mild cold day in Ottawa region.when temp goes down to minus 15 with wind, you need a sweater underneath. I fit between medium with 5"6 tall and 145 pds weight, chest 38B. I ordered a large size. it fits me well with rooms for sweater. The length fits to my mid thigh and the front part almost two inches above my knees. It was warm with sweaters even with temperature falls below -12 to -17 and windchill. One reason that I return this parka is that the parka is too short than something that I looked for. Another reason is the exterior material looks too cheap than tremaya parka which is another better parka from NF, although it says it is waterproof. other than these reason the parka is a good parka coat for daily use in average weather in Ottawa.betwwen 0 to-15 I guess.I am going to return this to get another Tremaya parka from other vendor for better quality , more durable and warmer NF coat. Unfortunately, I have to pay for the return and they insisted it must be tracking and signature requiring post service.I have no idea how much that will cost me, but anyway, it is an experience to purchase something online from the north face in Canada.wish those who want to buy northface to try the jacket in the store and then purchase. Otherwise, you have to pay for the return.

This is a comfy coat that fit just as expected. I'm 5'3" and 120 lbs and purchased a size small. I was originally hoping for a coat that wouldn't require additional layers underneath but I've acclimated to San Diego temperatures. At 20 degrees and windy in Philly, I ended up adding my 550 gram North Face vest underneath to feel totally warm. Cute and simple design. Hood fell a little over my eyes when my hair wasn't in a ponytail but covered my face pretty well. Overall, I'm happy with this coat for city walking in Philly winters!

This coat is super warm and great for very cold winter weather. The fit is a bit bulky but it is comfortable and does a great job at keeping the cold out. My only complaint is the zipper. It keeps getting stuck. It's a bit troublesome, but otherwise it is I really like the coat.
