Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

I was excited to finally get a North Face Coat so I would be WARM as the winter has been somewhat brutal out here in Indiana this year. My old Eddie Bauer Lodge Parka was shedding terribly and again time for a replacement??_so I figured I would spend the $$ on a good parka and it would last more than the Eddie Bauer's 1 season stint. I was sorely disappointed. I bought the small and it fits perfectly, however the coat is NOT warm! I went outside several times hoping it was just me but the cold goes right through the sleeves and shoulders. There is also a patch in the back around the elastic that is cold as well. I left the tag on and will be returning. It is sad. Such a nice, pretty coat! It is sad that my beat up Eddie Bauer, which is shedding feathers everywhere, is still warmer. I don't see any store that has another in my size and color to see if perhaps I received a dud, so I guess I will have to be returning for my $ back.
