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.

This coat is perfect except for the shape. The shape is built for short-avg height women. I am 5'8", 115 pounds and this coat looked like a bell on me. Not designed for tall women. Other than the shape, I HIGHLY recommend this coat for avg height women. It's extremely weather proof and will keep you warm. Additionally, the down is hidden under a smooth exterior, so it's warm but not puffy. I loved this coat because it was not excessive in detail. Will be returning though since it does not fit correctly.

I love the coat! It's warm and it serves it's purpose with this NY weather. Everyone loves the color. The minor issue I have which I hope isn't a big issue down the line is that the zipper gives me trouble while trying to connect at the bottom.

Good looking jacket, but does not fit my frame. I am 5'10" 150lbs and got a size large. The shoulders and chest were restricting while the stomach area was way too big. Bummer.

I ended up purchasing the Far Northern Parka instead of this one. It was a blessing in disguise because after the horrible customer service, this Parka didn't arrive to the store in time for my Iceland trip so I bought the Far Northern Parka in-store after trying on the Arctic Parka II in a different color. I realized that it was not flattering at all and had a very boxy fit. I'm happier with the Far Northern Parka.

Not very flattering and the grey was more “office chair” than chic. Sending back!

if you are someone who loves north face coats, this one is a let down. north face needs to step their game up bc this jacket is down right terrible. it is not as advertised. the hood does not detach. the material wrinkles and the fake fur looks and feels awful. i got a north face jacket that was very similar last year and the quality and design was much better. the only reason i needed a new one was because i couldn't remove a visible stain. long story short, do not buy this.

We had a heavy down pour the jacket kept me warm and dry. I did remove the fur so it wouldn't get wet. Which is nice that I could do that. I'm 5'1 and 140lbs and the meds fit me great. I can still
Wear a sweater underneath if I wanted to. But still without it doesn't look loose. It's my favorite jacket.
