Customer Reviews The North Face Outer Boroughs Parka

Great for a cold day in the midwest.

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 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.

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!

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!

This parka is very beautiful and it looks great on the body. It's not like the other parkas that make us look very big. It's so warm and the size was perfect for me. I'm 5' 4'' and 128lbs and got a size S. The hood is also very pretty. I researched a lot before buying and had a very hard time finding a quality parka that also looked good... really glad I found one! It is also much nicer than how it looks in the picture :)

Best for cold winters

Awesome winter coat, a bit heavy but well worth it in cold conditions.

The warmest jacket I've worn. Recommend it 100%!

I love this jacket. I live in ny and this jacket has been keeping we warm and cozy. You do need gloves when it's really cold out

I wore this jacket in Boston. Temps were down to 32 degree's. The jacket kept me warm without having to layer too much. I felt very stylish walking around town. I've been a North Face fan for years. They never disappoint!

The jacket was a bit tighter and more restricting than my other North Face Parka (which is a size S and I got this in a M). So I would say it runs small. It is very warm so far but my arms were also very restricted. The sleeves are also a bit strange, there is some extra fleece that is longer than the shell arm length.

I bought this coat for myself and I am so glad I did. It is stylish, warm and easy to wear. Its not bulky or unattractive by any means its stylish and the down keeps you warm in the coldest weather. I cant wait fo use it fir many more years!

I've been a fan of Northface products for over a decade when it comes to my winter coats. I'm cold in 40 degree weather so I need something that keeps me warm when the temps drop. This parka does not disappoint. The warming pockets are strategically placed and the extra "mitten" feature is perfect for public commutes. The design fits nicely so you don't look like you are wearing a comforter. If you wear lots of layers, consider sizing up. The side straps do the job of maintaining your silhouette.

I wear this jacket everyday.

Fit perfect , love it

Perfect for New England Weather.
