Customer Reviews The North Face Outer Boroughs Parka

Snow shoeing in the park or a quick trip to the store. This coat is light weight and not bulky but still keeps me warm and dry through the many different types of weather I experience living in the Pacific Northwest.

This is great jacket to wear in snowy conditions!

Perfect gift

This coat is so warm and wind resistant. The fit is complimentary to your form and it has good pockets. It's great for my work commute but also when I go snowboarding. Love it- no reservations- it's perfect.

For work

Great for a cold day in the midwest.

I bought this parka at The North Face Banff store. When I wore this parka first time, I saw my dress. It was horrible because of I saw too many feathers sticking to my dress. I went Banff store again. But they did not take the parka back because it didn't have a tag(Their return policy is absurd). So I sent the first parka to warranty because of feathers issue. On top of that, I spent almost $93 in shipping the parka to Quebec. I received the new parka but the issue was not resolved. I bought the North Face parka few years ago I never had this issue with feathers before. I don't trust The North Face brand anymore. I am disappointed this parka. I would not recommended this parka to anyone.

Most of my sweatshirts and jackets are Northface and I usually wear medium. I bought this jacket in a medium. It is warm but it seems to be a big.

Absolutely love this coat. Received it as an early Christmas gift. North face products have always lasted me many years whether it be a jacket, hat, or gloves. I like that the zipper comes up from the bottom end upwards allowing you for more room when sitting down.

I absolutely love this coat. It fits true to size and is very fitting but doesn't feel restricted. It is so warm too! I have tried so many different coats and most of them make me look like a marshmallow but this one is very flattering.

I purchased this coat especially for an upcoming trip to Norway.

I bought the jacket for my wife as a Christmas present. We moved from southern California to the Pacific Northwest and she needed a warm, stylish, dry jacket. She already had a North Face down bomber style jacket that worked great but didn't have the styling that I knew she was looking for. This jacket fit the bill perfectly! It fits her perfectly! She is 5'9 and always has problems with sleeves, the large fits her like it was custom tailored just for her. I would recommend this jacket to any woman looking for a great looking jacket that will keep you warm and dry on those cold and wet Pacific Northwest winter days and nights.

I've been looking for a quality winter jacket for ages and am glad to say that my search is over! I'm a person that gets cold easily in sub-40 F degree weather and I live in the NYC area. I'm also very conscious of keeping my head/face warm as well. This jacket is true to size and I ordered size S (I have an athletic build 130 lbs, 5'4") though it is a bit long on the bottom, but I think that's what a parka is meant to be like. I like the side straps that pulls the jacket in and creates a thinner look and I LOVE the sleeves that convert into semi-mittens when it gets cold out. This jacket truly does block the wind and sometimes I even sweat when I walk around for too long despite it being cold outside.

I love the fit of this jacket! It is a heavy weight jacket but that's the purpose of it, to keep you warm in bitter cold days. I read some reviews that mentioned feathers coming out from the lining and Yes they do come out and YES it is annoying BUT an easy solution is hairspray and you no longer deal with feathers getting stuck on your clothing. This warm parka doesn't make me feel boxy, and I love the waist detail.

Great coat! A little heavy but worth it for the warmth.

This jacket is warm, and very stylish. I am 5'3' , 130 lbs and ordered a medium and it is the right size. It's perfect with a sweater, etc. on. I also love the length! I needed something that was longer, and this is perfect. Love it, am very happy with my purchase.

My daily commute includes walking across an incredibly windy bridge in Boston. When I have this parka on, I can not feel the wind at all.

5'11" , 165 lbs ordered XL. Glad I did, comfy for driving, doesn't restrict my shoulders, able to fit layers & even maybe my toddler inside if worst came to worst lol. I got this coat for my birthday and I'm in love. I purchased cheap winter coats last year & decided I deserve this bad boy for North Eastern PA snowy/cold/Pocono mtn weather. Get it!! You deserve it! Stay toasty!

I really love the look and warmth of this coat. It does run TTS to Smallish. I bought the S for reference I am 5'6" 125 lbs. It did feel tight at the chest/armpit but has since stretched, the M was too bell like at the bottom. Sadly, as much as I love the style the New Taupe color has faded and looks patchy where the hood is and where the fur attaches. I expected more for a coat that is over $400. I still wear it and still get complimented on the fit and style.

I'm 5'3 112 pounds and I first got a S, but feel little to big on the lower part as it flares out on the bottom. Then I reordered XS and it fits much better on the bottom part, but the top part feels little restricted. In the end I kept the S, as It is a winters coat and sometimes you will need to wear thick sweaters underneath and I want to still feel comfortable. I tried on the kids parka and it fits better but feels women's parka quality is better. I wish North Face add petite sizes to their lines.

Looks great

Great for the cold

Everyday New England coat!

I bought this for myself as a Christmas gift. I was in desperate need of a warm snow jacket. This is exactly what I've been looking for!

I have been in desperate need of an attractive waterproof winter coat. I wait for this cute coat to go on sale and finally ordered it. I'm in love!
