Did you hear the one about Prince Charming keeping nice and warm with his Arctic Parka while the Princess was freezing, he didn't even offer her a little warmth. So the Princess snapped her fingers and poof. She had a luxurious, stylish and warm Arctic Parka with faux fur edging. The Princess was so happy, she snapped her fingers and the Prince was gone. Who needs a selfish prince when she has Arctic Parka to warm her heart and give her protection.

I love my new coat! It is warm, much warmer than I had expected, yet not as heavy as I had anticipated. Easy on and off. Adequate pockets, but not bulky. That is: the materials and the design are excellent! And the appearance is stylish!

I decided to invest in a good winter jacket this season and I'm so glad I did. I am a college student in New England who is constantly walking to and from class as well as doing dog walking on the side. I am constantly outside walking and the winters here can be very cold and wet. This jacket is perfect as it keeps me super warm while still being flattering. I am 5'7, 130ish pounds and the small fits perfectly.

I love everything about this coat. Exactly what I needed for our long Alaska winters. I am 5'0" and 108 lbs. I ordered an x-small. Sizing is perfect.

I purchased the red coat, absolutely stunning and so so warm. The fur around the hood is just gorgeous, this coat looks and feels amazing. Totally a worthwhile purchase if you want a functional yet beautiful coat!

Thank you so much the North face, because you help the health workers during Covid-19.
It was pricy for me and I am not able to buy it last year but I used my Health care discount and right now I have a beautiful and warmest coat.
Thank you so much for your support
God bless you

I'm 114/115 lbs, 5'2, 32D/DD depending on the bra type and brand. The XS is form fitting and I have room for a sweater or hoodie, but it will be a little tight. I also bought the small and it fit, but it took away the form fitting silhouette that I like so I returned it. It was worth sizing down for me.

I am absolutely love this parka. I despise being cold so have been shopping for awhile for the perfect parka that kept me warm but that I could also move freely in. I am a true 2X but after reading reviews I ordered a 3X. I think it fits true to size, I could easily returned it for a 2X but I didn't want to take the risk of it being too snug. If you are a plus size woman and are considering purchasing this parka, I say do it.

I was looking for a new winter jacket that would be warm enough, waterproof and stylish for my trip to Iceland in November. This jacket checked all the boxes on my must haves and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I'm 5' 8'' 135lbs and the small fit perfectly. I was also extremely pleased with the sleeve length and love the flattering fit. I highly recommend!

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I bought this jacket because I needed a warm coat to get me through a winter trip to the East coast. This jacket is very warm. I am usually a size Medium or 8 but upsized to a Large so it would not be too tight in the shoulders/chest and be long enough in the arms since my arms are excessively long. The large fits well, although I think the shape of the coat would be more flattering had I stuck with a size Medium, I prioritized comfort over style with no regrets. Pockets are large and there is ample room to store all your items. Coat is very well made - I expect it will last many, many years.

This parker is awesome. I love the style and the fit. It is not so heavy that you can not move in it yet it is very warm. The length is perfect to keep your lower body warm and the zipper comes up so it is comfortable all around. Perfect for walking, and driving. Hood is adjustable so it will probably fit anyone but if you don't like it, you can remove it.

This was my valentine day gift to my wife and she is in love with the color (juniper teal) and feel of the jacket. The color is vibrant and goes with all the dresses and occasions equally well. She is 5'3" and 115 lbs; 'S' fits her comfortably and the length is also perfect. The hood covers the face and ears well and has a good grip (that can be adjusted) against strong winds. My wife feels cold very soon but this jacket kept her warm and happy in -4F as well. What she loves the most about this jacket is the hidden comfortable elastic grip in the arms that keeps arms warmer. The internal pocket for phone with a media loop is another laudable feature in the jacket she adores. She has received tons of compliments for this jacket already.

Super warm, great for a Nebraska winter. I am 5'10" and 140 - ordered medium and it fits well, just wish the sleeves were 1/2' longer. But I tried on a large at another store and it was way too big.

Living in Iceland a good parka is essential. I simply love this one, it's the best Ive ever had. Its stylish, warm and lightweight. I was happy to have read a review that recommended to take a size bigger then I would usually do. I normally wear an L size but I chose an XL and it fitted perfectly. I am also happy to have chosen the vaporious gray color, its so flattering!

Very pleased--I'm 5-10" average build and I ordered the large size. It fits well and arms are long enough for me. Looking forward to wearing it once it gets cold!

Very warm! Love the extra layer around the wrists as it makes it easy to tuck in gloves. Also, the hood has some metal in it which allows it to be shaped so it doesn't flop in front of my face. Really deep pockets. Only complaint is the the zipper/neck area goes pretty high and rubs on my chin a bit.
All in all, great jacket for Chicago winters.

Very warm and the quality you would expect from NF. This is a roomier fit so plenty of room for sweaterers etc underneath. I wish the adjustable waist cinched in more; it has an interior stopper that limits how far you can cinch it, and it was a boxy, unflattering fit on me. In addition. The gardenia white has a little more of a yellow-ish ivory cast than I was expecting and not great with my fair skin. I returned.

I had the previous version of this parka from 2018. I have noticed improvements that I have appreciated such as:
1. Warmer with a 600 fill
2. Shell is softer and less stiff, perhaps due to the recycled material
3. Has a bigger inside pocket
4. The hood fur stays in place with a metal wire
5. It has a cinch cord for better fit at the waist
6. Has thumb holes at the wrist
7. Pockets are much deeper than before. I can literally fit my wallet inside.
One thing I did not appreciate is the lack of a full fleece lining in the pockets, but that is minor. Overall I am really enjoying this jacket so far and look forward to getting many years of wear.

Beautiful fit and I love the almost iridescent purple color that comes off the fur hood. Very warm, yet not bulky at all. I would have given it 5 stars except I have to bend down in an awkward way to zip. The start of the zipper seems very low, but maybe if I were taller it would not be an issue. I'm 5'6.

I decided I wanted a green, non-quilted parka and so I trekked to the North Face store to try on three parkas: the Tremaya, the Arctic, and Far Northern Waterproof (no longer sold at Zappos).
Out of the three parkas above, I ended up keeping the Arctic. It seemed extremely warm but was much more comfortable for me compared to the Tremaya. I've been wearing it for about six weeks and so far it's wonderful. I sized up to a small but realized that unless it's below 20°, I don't really need to layer so I probably could've gotten away with an extra small. The one downside is the cut is not very flattering. The body is fine, but the arms are gigantic I feel like a Michelin man.
