Customer Reviews The North Face Outer Boroughs Parka

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 :)

Heavy coat. Warm, but did not fit well. Too tight on my chest. Needed to return it.

Best for cold winters

This coat is very fashionable and flattering, however, I wish they had made more adjustment options for the belt. There is plenty of room in the coat for there to be "one notch" looser. Unfortunately, there are only two snap options for adjustment and is just a tad snug around the middle only because of the belt. As someone else mentioned the side pockets are low for hands but hands can easily go in top pockets with the flap in a comfortable position. The coat is very heavy to lift but once it is put on, it doesn't feel terribly bulky for heavy winter coat. I haven't tried it in weather yet but feels high quality and waterproof material. Two days after I purchased this, it went on sale and I called and was refunded the difference. Otherwise I would have returned because of the belt issue. The coat is very flattering and fashionable with super fun hood, will keep.

Beautiful parka. I did a lot of research before getting this parka. I own a TNF Artic parka that I needed to replace and wanted something warmer and not too boxy. I loved the quality of the outer boroughs, and yes, it is warm. The fur sat nicely around my face (unlike the Artic parka). Sadly the parka didn’t fit well. I got my same xs size as always in TNF. The shoulder area felt tight. The neck, when closed, went all the way to my nose. I’m petite and 110 lbs. I sent it back and got a CG instead. I still think this is a great parka and for the price if it fits you, you’ll be happy with it! For slender and taller, not sure for petite.

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

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

The jacket was very comfortable and true to size; however the placement and size of the pockets didn't work well for me. I'm 5'3" and about 125 pounds and didn't find the pocket placement to be very comfortable. The jacket also flared out a little on the bottom making me appear wider.

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!

I absolutely love the weight, feel, construction, details and color of this coat, however, I wear a lot of black clothes and when I take this coat off, I have to pluck a lot of down off!

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.

Love the jacket, it is my second one just needed a size change. Warmest jacket I've owned. Only con was ordering/shipping issue.

This is a fantastic coat! I live in Minnesota and it keeps me warm on subzero days. I have not experienced down feather “shedding” as some others mentioned. I had a Canada Goose parka, and like this coat better. Highly recommend!

This coat is warm and good for cold, windy weather. The hood is stiff and the material at the front has an odd ripple or bulge on the underside, but overall the coat is comfortable. It has a slim fit through the body.

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

I ordered a medium and it was way too restrictive. I would have tried a large because it is definitely a nice coat but my store doesn't have this product. I decided to go with the defdown coat but it is heavier than what i am accustomed to.

Perfect for New England Weather.

Good coat but very heavy on.

I searched for weeks for a new winter coat, which is a necessity in Chicago. I'm pretty short (5'1) and have hips/butt that makes finding a quality coat almost impossible. This coat hit enough of my boxes, but the sleeves are pretty long for me. If you're of average height I'm sure it's perfect. Tons of pockets, zipper options and VERY stylish!

Was looking for a warm coat for our nyc trip but one that also fared well in the wet and windy climes in England and didn't hang on me like an overstuffed duvet roll ... and this one truly ticks all the boxes ... keeps me toasty and looks great. Ok so I wouldn't wear this to a fancy dinner party but other than that - it's fast becoming my go-to coat. Only gripe would be the fiddly zip and the weight

Super cute jacket!!! Using as just my everyday winter jacket and I really like it. I've only had it a couple days but I love it so far!
