Customer Reviews The North Face Stretch Down Parka

Love this jacket! It’s fitted but not tight, the perfect length and the gray is a nice color. I always wear a large in North Face and this parka was no different. I highly recommend!!

Fit true to size, but I should have anticipated it would fit lower on the hip than a jacket length. I’d love to keep it if it didn’t feel slightly uncomfortable due to the length (I am slim/average build but do have hips! This may work in a larger size but afraid it would look too large elsewhere. ) Super soft and comfy with the stretch though! Love the coat, just not the cut.

Great coat - warm and stylish. Only downside is that feathers started to poke out soon after purchase. Zappos exchanged it though. Recommend.

Fit and size was perfect. The only downside to this coat is that the feathers popped out sooner than expected. Otherwise, a very warm coat.

I already have a longer down coat, so I wanted one this length. Perfect! Nice material. I thought it felt a little snug, so I went up a size. The neck felt bulky, and awkward. Otherwise, very nice jacket.

I really like this jacket. It’s warm but not bulky. It’s a tad expensive!!!

I love this jacket! It's warm but very lightweight and not bulky. It's long enough to cover my butt so it keeps me extra warm. I'm 5'3" and 118 pounds. I ordered a small which fits great. It is somewhat fitted and cut for a woman's shape so if you want kind of baggy, you might want to size up. If you want kind of fitted, order your normal TNF size. I've always worn a small in all TNF jackets and this one is no different.

This is a great coat. I got the size Small. Very light and very warm. I like the length, still fairly short but covers your rear. I am 5'4. I really like the color, the asphalt grey is really neutral and not as heavy looking as black, which I usually wear in coats. Would recommend it highly. Got it on sell too!

Love it! Looks great, fits just right, warm but lightweight.

Very comfortable to wear and fits great! I normally wear a medium but after reading other reviews that this a slim fit, decided to get the large which fits perfect with a sweater and does not feel tight. The jacket is very warm and I like the grey color. Has a double zipper which is comfortable while driving or sitting. Very happy with this purchase!!!

LOVE this coat! I needed a warm coat because I was traveling to Chicago in January, and this jacket kept me warm and cozy the entire day! Even though it doesn't have a hood, there's no need to wear a scarf when you wear this jacket since the collar zips up and provides warmth around your neck too. I would recommend this jacket when the weather drops, however, if it's 50+ degrees outside, you may actually get too hot.

I didn't realize this lovely jacket was a slim fitted style.

Great coat! Wanted something that wasn’t too bulky but kept me warm. This fit the bill! I love the stretch material. It moves with you and doesn’t feel tight or restrictive. The longer fit is also nice and helps to keep warm. The coat also packs down nicely. There are two zippered hand pockets.

Runs SMALL. I normally wear a Medium (8-10). This jacket is fitted and left no room for clothing underneath. I had to order a Large. The Large fit great...fit like a medium should fit normally. I love that it covers my bum and it’s not too puffy. I wore it to Whistler BC and all around the Village at the end of November. It was perfect for 27-30 degree mountain weather. Packable, warm, not too bulky. Highly recommended.

Love This! I'm 5'2" 140lb small frame. My hips are smaller than my chest, so fit is always an issue. This fit great in the XL, the fit is similar to a L Columbia Benton Springs ll long hoodie. I've worn this jacket in 15° weather to mid 40's, including sleet & light rain. It's so comfortable, fit is great, slim look. The pockets are fleece lined for warmth. It hits almost mid thigh on me. I actually ordered a 2nd one in grey, that's how much I love it, just in case something happens. The grey is very attractive. TNF no longer makes this style. It's light weight, great for running errands, going from the cold into warm stores. I was wearing my black one today and had someone compliment me on my jacket in the supermarket. It's a simple, but classic style. You can dress it up or down.

Perfect! I'm 5'2" 140 & my bust is bigger than my hips. This "active fit" XL fits great. Regular fit is always too big in the hips & wide sleeves. I look like a bell. This isn't too tight in the bust or hips. It comes to mid thigh on me. Very slimming, feels like nothing on. Just wore it out, 15° not counting wind chill, with just a long sleeve cotton top, couldn't feel a bit of chill. It doesn't rustle when you move in it. I got the black. If you're bigger in the bust than hips, this jacket is for you. My frame is small and this doesn't overwhelm me.

Great style, color and fit. Zipper at both ends is a great feature. Super lightweight. Size is good.

I love this jacket, but I did not realize it was a slim fit which made it too tight in the hip area. Otherwise it fit true to size and the color is great. It is very roomy and comfortable in the chest and arms. I wish they made it in a regular cut. It was clearly marked "slim fit" on the tag, but I didn't see it marked that way in the description.

Super warm and soft, semi fitted, perfect for the winter season. I like how this jacket is a bit longer for added warmth. The only downside is, I wish it came with a hood. I’ve been pairing it with a hooded sweatshirt, then I am good to go! For reference, I am 5’5” and 125 lbs, I ordered a Small.
