Customer Reviews The North Face Outer Boroughs Parka

I really needed a next-level coat for the NYC winter. This is perfect because it's very warm and windproof. I also like the snaps in the back so it can be adjusted. The built-in mittens are a huge bonus.

This coat is so warm! Big and bulky, but still flattering.

I'm so excited to enjoy the Northwoods in this cozy, comfortable, and stylish Parka! I love the longer length and the ease of the zipper. It's obvious that it is well made. I also feel like it frames my shape nicely. It gets very cold in Northern WIsconsin and I say BRING IT ON!!!!!

I used it in the past winter in northeast area in the states. It is stylish, wind proof and extra warm. Excellent product!

My sister bought an older version of this jacket for herself last year and I wore it once and loved it. I searched and searched and couldn't find it. I am outside all the time either at work with my kiddos or just out and about and I need a jacket that will keep me warm. This is definitely the jacket for that purpose.

I tried on both this And the Def Down. I am 5'6 125. In Def Down I fit a size small with plenty of room, but in the Outer Burroughs I needed to go up a size to a Medium due to the shoulders being so tight. I like the fabric of the Outer Burroughs, it has a smooth texture. The Def Down felt like corduroy and I could feel the fabric snag on my rough hands. I wore the Outer Burroughs at an outdoor event in the 20s and didn't feel cold at all for over two hours. I can't wait to test it on our Sub zero MN days. It also has a very flattering cut.

So excited to have this coat for the winter weather here in MN! I can tell I'm going to stay nice and warm while wearing this jacket! The quality is amazing!

I bought this coat to replace my north face 3 in 1 winter parka. I was disappointed that they don't make my coat anymore, however I'm super happy with this style! It's so warm and flattering. Thank you Northface for honoring your lifetime guarantee on my last coat! I received a gift card for the full amount after sending in my old coat that had defects. I will definitely be a customer for life:)

This jacket is warm, stylish and has some nice extras- Cozy sleeve lining, adjustable side pulls, extra pockets with zippers.

This product was sold old last year, and I have been waiting until it became available again. It was worth the wait! It is not bulky, and the side snaps give it a more fitted silhouette, which is what I look for. It's the perfect length to wear with pants and skirts, and will keep me warm during winter here in the Northeast.

Excellent product all around! North face never lets you down!

I was always scared of buying these bc I didn't want to look to big and bulky but this jacket has straps on the waist that add a waist and it's super sexy in black. Honestly feel super comfortable and stylish in it! Love it and worth every penny!

I use this product for these brutal winters in NY. This coat is perfect it's comfortable and waterproof. Bought this coat for myself. The coat is very stylish too

It hasn't gotten cold enough to wear this coat in low temperatures yet, but it seems promising. It feels warm without being too bulky. I'm particularly excited about two features: 1) The sleeves have an extra cuff that folds over my hands and 2) the set of pockets that seemed to be placed in the perfect position for my hands. Excited to wear this coat in my first NYC winter!

I've been wearing the same North Face Ptak for the past 6 years and it's still in good shape. It was the first parka I invested and being from the Midwest, once you buy your first parka, you never go back. My friend actually told me about this new parka and said it was a major upgrade from the old type of north face parka because the new ones are even warmer. When I saw her in it, I saw how cute it was too so I had to try one myself. I absolutely love it. It truly is 10x warmer than my old parka, which I already know will be amazing for Chicago winters. And for being a heavy, thick parka, it's actually really cute and stylish. It had straps on the sides that pull in the waist so it still gives you a figure. I also love the fur on the hood. All around a really nice quality parka and I can't wait to wear it this winter.

This is my second NF coat (the last one I bought was back in 2012). I am a photographer and I am always out and about in all sorts of weather. The Outer Boroughs parka has a lot of pockets, which is extremely convenient for me. It is a bit heavy, but very, very warm. Perfect for me! Looking forward to wearing it this winter.

OMG This is the best winter coat ever! It is so comfy and stylish. Fits true to size, Large is what I usually order and this wasn't too tight or too loose, nice fitted look that is flattering, loads of deep pockets. Kept me cozy and warm through -60 degree weather and wind chill. It was so warm I really only needed it when it was below 0. The hood is long enough and covers the sides of my face, I didn't need a ski mask with this. Overall it is for some serious harsh weather and will make you feel warm even in the coldest temps! Didn't feel too heavy, also breathable. I mean I don't know what else you go do to make this a better winter jacket?! Maybe if some propellers came out and flew me to florida during blizzard season xD 10/10 Also for the love of all living creatures, open this package carefully and without scissors/box cutters! It will cut through the goose lining (that happened to me in another north face jacket but they did accept an exchange at least)

Love this coat. Stylish and very warm!!!

Cute and warm jacket- the pockets weren’t my style though and I decided to get the Arctic II parka instead.

I bought a NF coat similar to the Arctic Parka in 2013. I was almost tempted to buy the Artic Parka II (hello, cheaper price) but chose the Outer Boroughs due to the amount of pockets, ability to adjust the waist, the length and the longer sleeve length of the inner liner. For reference I am 5'6" 118lbs, I bought a medium in Dark Grey Heather (SO relieved they had got it back in stock!!). This was based on my previous fit of my other NF coat and it remains true for this one. There is a smidgeon more room but when I layer it's perfect, not restricting. Unlike my previous NF coat it isn't nearly as voluminous however I am much warmer. TNF PLEASE add just one more snap to the waist and it'll be perfect!! While it is quite a pricey coat, the quality is great and it will last for years. I truly beat the heck out of my other NF coat.

I bought this coat back in early November and was a bit worried Inwouldnt get to wear it because it is so warm, that I get too warm at times for this coat. Now that it's January and very cold and I have a puppy with outdoor needs, I wear this coat all the time and it has even kept me comfy warm during this nasty polar vortex the last few days. Highly recommend this coat if you want to be toasty warm in the cold winter months

Love this coat. The only complaints are that the dollar is a bit stiff and I sometimes feel like I'm wearing a neck brace... BUT it's sooo warm, the built in mittens are useful, the hood stays up and is very insulating. It also looks as good in the city as a down parka can. Since this polar vortex just started, I'm very happy I've got this!!!

Perfect for our rollercoaster temputures we are having in Maine this year.

Bought this coat when heading to Russia in January. It was spot on to what I had seen online. It is warm, comfortable, and very stylish. I got a lot of great comments, the hood is a great size and stays up as opposed to some jackets where the hood falls unless zipped up all the way. I would recommend this again and again for cold weather climate. The internal liner hand covers that you can flip over your hands are great too.

I live in Maine and walk about a mile to work. I got this coat for Christmas and have worn it to work each day. I am very satisfied with how warm it keeps me.
