Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

This jacket's material is too stiff around the neck because of the waterproof treatment, plus the black that I ordered is kind of matte finish and it not a pretty color. I has returned this jacket.

Disappointed in the quality of this product. They used Velcro instead of snaps for the closures. Hood is not removable nor can is be rolled up and tucked away. The jacket has a still almost brown paper bag feel to it.

The coat does feel very warm and comfortable. But for the price, I was expecting a better fit and for the fabric not to attract so much lint and dust. I am 5'7" and the coat felt about 3 inches too long. The fabric also looked very dirty very quickly in the black color. I'll be returning this.

very warm and fits well but to not like the outside fabric too stiff in the cold weather

The way the Velcro is on the bottom of the coat it catches on the cloth part of the sleeve causing it to be fuzzy and lint like only after 2 weeks of wearing. I will return.

I purchased an older model of this coat and it was great. I needed a new coat because the zipper broke on that one. This one is NOTHING like that coat. It was a lot heavier and of better quality. It also had buttons. I don't like the Velcro. This coat is lightweight, runs small, and doesn't wash well. I washed it once and the material changed. Also, the hoodie is smaller as well, it barely fits over my head. I wouldn't recommend this coat at this price.

Runs tight , otherwise nice

Wish I had gotten the outer borough parka instead this is not as puffy or as comfy.

I regret buying this jacket. Didn't realize how much of a hassle and trouble having velcro instead of good old snap buttons would cause. It's damaging my gloves, my sweaters and scarves. Why, why did the company think this would be a good idea??? 2 stars because the jacket is very warm and will keep you dry. But even for the sale price, not worth it with the Velcro on it.

The coat is exactly what I expected. I like design and quality. But the coat attracts lint everywhere. After I used lint brush I see lint again. I'm very disappointed with this black coat.

The size runs too large. I am sorry to have ordered medium because of the note on the site. Now I cannot find the small size.

I want to start by saying I've owned an arctic parka for the last 5 or 6 years. I LOVE it, it's sooooo warm. My new arctic parka not so much. For starters it has horrible velcro flaps covering the zipper. My old one has buttons . Second the hood on this one is built in!, It's not detachable like the other. Literally everything sticks to it. It doesn't feel as warm or filled as my other. Disappointed any way you slice it. It's not the same quality that TNF has delivered in the past.

1not for short people with bigger hips and thighs. Could barely close. I did not like the velco front and it was already hanging onto stray threads. i am 5'1" and this was not meant for me

I am 5'1" and140 pounds. Unfortunately all my weight in my hips and thighs. This jacket was huge on top, sleeves too long, and really tight on my hips. No women's jackets account for women with hips and thighs.

I feel too big for the neck area. This will easy let the cold air come inside.

The arctic parka is very warm jacket however the feathers keep falling out. At first I thought it was just Lint from being a new piece of Garment but its been over 2 months now and both lint & feathers keep coming out. Also spoils the inner layers.

Coat is very warm but this material on this particular style is very stiff. I feel very restricted with movement. Hard to drive in it. I'm contacting tomorrow to return and look into a different style. I've wanted a North Face for years and couldn't afford. Finally, I but one and not a good experience for the amount of money I spent.

To big I'm 5' approximately 115lbs and fit bulky also color is more cream not white

WAY too big. Loved the color. Wish Northface made petites.

Im actually disappointed in this jacket. From all the reviews, I expected it to be warm. It was a simple 25 F degrees out and I still felt cold. I don't like the velcro on the front of the jacket as it gets caught on sweaters and gloves. The texture of the jacket looks like it will get dirty easily. Will try again with a different jacket. So disappointed:(

It's a beautiful jacket but true to size I'm returning the jacket for a different size

Nice coat but quality control lacking , after sending 2 coats back with same issue with the clown purple fake fur , time to give up

The current TNF arctic parka is not warm, does not have close to enough fill to be warm, the zipper is crummy and they replaced snaps with cheap Velcro. I purchased a TNF arctic parka in 2011 and again in 2019. I just purchased a 3rd one because I have gained a few pounds and my current ones are a bit tight. I can walk around comfortably below freezing weather in the older 2 parkas but not in the current one. The current arctic parka is ok if the weather is in the 50's but not below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I returned it and would not buy another TNF arctic parka.

This time around the parka is not as warm as my old one. I was a bit disappointed.

Returned xl for xxl. Several differences interior pockets, tabs on front. Very disappointed
