Customer Reviews The North Face Outer Boroughs Parka

I am so pleased that I bought this parka. I wore this coat during the cold snap in Chicago last week and it kept me warm and comfortable. I love the built in mittens. This parka is very flattering and is not too puffy. I bought the Arctic II parka as well but found this to be a nicer coat (more fitted, better hat). I am 5' 4" and 120 pounds. Size small fit perfectly. Best purchase of the season! Highly recommend. Thank you TNF!

I use the coat on a daily basis and absolutely love it. No other coat has even come close to the level of warmth this North Face coat gives. I can go outside even in the dead of winter and I will feel absolutely no cold. This coat is truly amazing.

Use this jacket for cold weather.

I bought this jacket for an upcoming Green Bay and Chicago visit when I noticed the temperatures were going to get to 30F and below. Not used to the weather, being from South Florida, so needed something to keep me warm. It fits to my build. It was a little tight with one layer of clothing at the chest area (34C) but was comfortable nonetheless. In Green Bay and Chicago, I was kept warm when it was snowing. It is bulky and a heavier coat but no complaints because of the warmth.

I bought this jacket for a winter trip to Canada! I'm from Southern California and searched for a while for the warmest (and cutest!) winter coat. Based on the warmth ratings, I ended up deciding between this one and the Arctic Parka- I chose this because I felt it was a bit more stylish :) I tried it on, and I love it! I haven't worn it in the cold yet, but I couldn't keep it on for more than a minute in my house because I got so hot! I usually wear a size small or medium, and I got a medium. It fits, but isn't as roomy as I was expecting. I think I'll still keep this size and be able to layer underneath, but it's pretty form-fitting. I love the dark grey color, the faux-fur hood, and all the pockets!

I just got this jacket and no regrets. I was a little worried about the price, but it is worth it. I have another northface from about 8 years ago, but it was not as warm as I'd like . This is very warm. The insulated collar and hood is perfect. I like the fleece lined pockets. I think this will last for years and years. I got a large and I am 5'7'' 160 pound, 32 chest, but large hips. It fits perfectly. I live in Chicago so it will be perfect.

Like this parka the quality is great. I moved from south to PA, I think this item is good enough for keeping me warm this winter. And I think it looks good as a winter gear. I'm 5'2 and 88 lbs and I like its length. It won't be too large for me.

After reading the reviews I made a decision to purchase this beautiful parka and I don't regret it. This parka is well made with great quality materials, very warm and stylish. I'm 5f7in and 138lb and I ordered size M. It fits perfectly and roomy enough to wear a sweater under. The sleeves are little bit on the long side but it's ok for the winter weather. Thank you TNF for great quality products.

Nice coat !

It is very heavy but I love it . It's so stylish and I'm looking forward to using it in this NY freezing weather .

I use this daily

I decided to buy a good quality jacket this year. Winters are getting colder and I definitely needed to invest in a jacket that allows me warmth and comfort. I am definitely loving my purchase!!! It's a gorgeous fit looks nice at the waist. It's big and thick, I feel very snug.

I bought this coat to replace the Juneau Parka that I bought about 5 years ago it's the same thing but an upgraded version this coat as well as all other North face parkas are very durable especially in New York City when you have to travel on the Subway and the weather sometimes is unpredictable you will be ready to go anywhere with this coat. And just like the discontinued Juneau Parka it has all the pockets which is one of the main reason why I bought this coat.If you are apprehensive about the price just think of it as a long term investment you will pay for the use of this coat over years because there are workhorses. For example you buy the coat now you won't have to think about buying a coat for another 5 years.

Bring on our Michigan winter, I'm ready!!

I love the style and fitted shape of this winter parka - exactly what I was looking for, as I don't like large, puffy, and heavy winter jackets. It's a great, stylish, warm, and very comfortable winter coat for windy and cold NYC winters. The only thing that surprised me is that the XS size was too tight on me, and all of my winter jackets have always been XS size. So I exchanged it for S size and now the fit is *almost* perfect. The S size seems just a bit too lose. However, this parka is so beautiful that I am keeping the S size with a bit more room underneath for thicker winter clothing. Another reason why I love this parka is that the fur trim around the hood is faux fur - another thing I always look for in a jacket. I don't want any real animal fur on me. Highly recommended.

I bought this for my daughter and she loves it.

This is a great, heavy duty parka. It is slim and doesn’t make you look like a puff ball. The coat is water, wind and cold resistant. I love it. Tried on at least 10 different parkas from several other high quality brands and this was by far the best style wise. I highly recommend it. A seamstress can easily remove the belt for you if you don’t want or need it. I love the coat!

I thought long and hard before buying this coat, but decided that being outside so much in the Michigan winter made it worth the investment! I'm usually an XS but sized up to a small to allow for some additional layering underneath. It's a heavy coat but worth the money. The insulated hood is a nice bonus. I also really like the I built in cuff gloves!

Bought this jacket in anticipation of my first New England winter. So far I love it. Warm, cozy and fits true to size! Would definitely buy again!

Keeping warm in the COLD Michigan weather.

This coat is great. It is comfortable, warm and stylish.

Perfect for daily wear in the winter!

Great coat for winter time! Stylish and warm what I wanted for this cold weather. I live in Boston, so I'm ready now.

I was searching for the best northeast beat down the cold and wind, polar-vortex-proof, come-at-me-winter jacket, and this is it! I tried on probably a hundred coats of every possible brand, and when I tried this one on, I knew it was the one. It's like climbing into a warm bed and being able to stay in it and protected wherever you go and no matter how cold it is. The way the hood and neck fits so perfectly, there is no need and no room for a scarf. There's room for a hat under the hood but I found I didn't need it. I love the pseudo mittens that cover you in a pinch, but they're really not a glove replacement. I love all the pockets, too. My only complaint is that in order to get the right fit for the rest of me, the top (around my chest and arms) fits like a glove, which feels nice, but it's a little uncomfortable wearing a sweater underneath. I'm 5'10", 145lbs, and have a Large. I bought it almost a year ago so it's been winter-tested. It's pricey but worth it.

I wanted a really warm coat for winter activities and walking into work. I love the mitten feature on the sleeves! Its not as bulky as i thought but i trust beung 550 down fill and one of the heavier rated coats that it'll do the job!
