Customer Reviews The North Face Outer Boroughs Parka

I'm a dog walker so winters can be harsh. This coat keeps me warm comfy and is very stylish. You can't go wrong with this purchase. Simply the best. I love it.

This Jacket is great....if you are on the fence get it....I am approx 160lbs and 5ft 2inches and the medium fits only wish there was a tad more room in the chest area....but I understand the cut...everywhere else fits perfectly...and the sleeves are the best....not too bulky not too slim....Jacket is well made, navy blue is a rich color....i tried canada goose and this fits better.....this jacket is very fashionable and slimming....love my Jacket!

Honestly, this is the best winter coat I have ever had. I used to live in Scandinavia and purchased a great and warm coat there - but after buying this The North Face parka, it easily got the first prize for the most awesome winter essential! If I needed to say one con about it I'd mention that I often get really sweaty in it - even when I'm outside in the serious minuses. I guess it is because it protects in every weather circumstances, so it makes sense that the material does not breath.

This jacket keeps me so warm for those cold Chicago days!

I am extremely pleased with this jacket! I initially ordered the (off) white in aclarge online. I'm 5'5 160 lb. I knowwwww... but I thought I would want extra room to layer up. I picked it up in store. &It was a little too big for me, BUT extremely warm and comfortable. I tried it on with a short sleeve shirt & was CLOSE TO A SWEAT. The clerk brought me the exact style jacket in the new taupe green, in a medium however & then I FELL IN LOVE. So cozy, so warm, so flattering, so stylish. I walked my dog in 35 degree weather for 2 miles the night I bought it & felt AMAZING. Worth the pretty penny.

This is my first North Face parka. I had been looking at this for about a month online before I went to the store about bought it. I am so glad I did! I got the green color and it looks great. This will definitely keep me warm for our long, cold Alaskan winter.

Walking around downtown Chicago in 30F weather, the zipper finally gave out on my 15 yr old puffy down coat. So I made my way to the NF store and bit the bullet to drop this kind of cash on a coat. I couldn't be happier! With a howling wind, the hood and fur lining blocked it ALL. I was amazed. It got so warm walking around outside that I ended up unzipping the coat to stay cool! This coat is going to be awesome for cold Chicago winters. Well worth the money. I love the deep hood and extra sleeve mitten details. So clever! I'm 5'11", size 10/12 and I bought an XL. The large fit ok, but it would have been tight with a bulky sweater on underneath, so I opted for a little extra room.

Wow, this is a coat for cold weather! It's heavy and filled with down and designed perfectly with side adjusting straps to complement your waist, 3 pockets on each side to choose your comfy place to put your hands, and a double zipper to open the bottom up a bit. A line shaping and a longer back complete the on trend look. The pockets either zip or snap closed and are deep. I forgot to check for an interior pocket... sorry. I really like the coat but the size i bought was too large- i read the reviews suggesting to go up a size, and ordered XL, but this was huge. It was so bulky on me, it was hard to determine how comfortable it was. The material was also stiff. I ordered a large to try that size, but it's possible a medium will work. I'll update this review once I have thoroughly tested these and made my final decision! I also ordered the ARcTeryx Darrah as a comparison.

So comfortable and warm, and I love that they don't use real fur. I don't wear the "feux fur" anyway, to me it looks tacky. Beautiful classy and smart looking coat. :P

I'm so excited to wear this jacket this winter! I live in Minnesota, so it's going to get pretty cold and windy. I have woren it a few times so far, when it was windy and had I walk the dog in the morning and I felt so cozy!!

The fit was perfect, although I did send back for a larger size because I wanted to layer in my North Face Denali fleece jacket. I LOVE THIS COAT!!! I would highly recommend it. Lots of pockets for my photography stuff (batteries, etc.)

I went into a store to try on one of the "puffy" Northface coats that I read about online. The salesperson was super friendly and asked me what I was looking for in a winter coat. I told him I didn't want to look bulky in a large heavy coat, but also needed warmth. He recommended this Outer Boroughs Parka. I tried it on and fell in love. It has pockets for your hands at a level easy to walk - the lower pockets are great for storing stuff like your phone or keys / wallet. I have used the "built in mittens" to walk my dog in the mornings - SUPER HANDY, I never remember my gloves. The hood is fitted so it doesn't slip back when you have it up, the fur trim is super cute (and removable if you want). The price tag was scary, for sure, but DEFINITELY worth the money in the long run. Lifetime guarantee and its a timeless cut so it won't go out of style. BUY THIS TO STAY WARM!

This is a great coat and will keep me warm in the winter. The only thing was when i purchaced the coat i noticed one of the pockets already had a hole in it. Luckily i know how to sew so it's perfect now!

I have suffered through Boston winters even wearing a Canada goose. This jacket is so much fuller and warmer! I love that there is no velcro to get caught on scarves and that when you zip it all the way it keeps my neck warm. I also love that the hood is faux fur. This jacket keeps me extremely warm and I am so happy!

This jacket fits perfectly, is stylish, but also very functional. I wanted a jacket that would protect me from the wind and give me the option for fur around the hood which will keep me extra warm in the winter and this jacket is it! The sleeves are also the perfect length (not too long like most other jackets), it has warm and soft lining in the sleeves for your hands, plenty of pockets, and a warm and soft closure that comes high above the neck in case you need to really protect from some harsh wind and temperatures. This was really built to keep you warm and the green color is very flattering.

I bought this coat with visiting Norway in mind. I will need to layer with my TNF fleece jacket underneath and will be returning, as i will need a larger size. I wasn't sure, but if you're going to layer with a thick layer, it is best to go a full size up.

I will use every day! Winter time

It's still too warm to wear this coat, but I'm very excited for winter. I was looking for a longer jacket that was waterproof (not water resistant) and would protect me through cold winds. It's high quality and will definitely keep me warm through snow and wind. When zipped all the way up, I'm protected! It fits nicely, and I can adjust the sinching at the sides for a slimmer fit. I love the color options - I went with the navy. The fur hood lining is also a cute touch!

Love the way the coat feels and looks. very comfertable and I know it will be warm once the cold weather hits!

Took me a while to pull this trigger on this coat, but am SO glad that I did. The outer boroughs parka is beautiful and so well made. Flattering fit and lots of great pockets.

I think this jacket is great for the winter weather that's approaching. It's so soft, very comfortable, and really really cute.

I live in Chicago, and this jacket was incredible for the cold weather.

This seems like the perfect coat for those windy cold Chicago winters. I haven't put it to the test yet but it feels gr at in front of the AC unit :) The fit is perfect (I'm 5'10, 145lb and got a small) and the color so pretty. The hood makes you look like an eskimo when your zipped up, which seems perfect for those below zero days. Very good quality, yet stylish parka. Highly recommend!

I absolutely LOVE this coat! It's extremely warm, and very fashionable; goes with everything. On the coldest of days, this is your best bet to keep warm, with no worries. I live in NYC, where the winters are BRUTAL, but even during a snow storm or blizzard: I gladly battle the weather with this coat: it's fabulous!

Will be perfect for cold Michigan Winters and beautiful modern navy color...
