Customer Reviews The North Face Outer Boroughs Parka

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

The XS was way too tight under the arms. If the armhole opening was a bit larger, the coat probably would have been a good fit.

Haven't worn the coat yet. Still deciding whether or not to keep it. The fit is odd. Sizing down is a little tight and sizing up is a little too loose. Other than the weird sizing, the coat appears to be of good quality.

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.

Absolutely wonderful coat. It runs a click small. My wife always wears petite small. She had to go to a medium. If you are at the top of the range for a size, size up. Very warm. Very cute. My wife loved it.

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.

Perfect jacket for an array of weather. The rain slips right off the outer layer. It's -8 (feels like -19) in toronto right now and the jacket is keeping me very warm!! My only dislike is that the collar is a bit bulky when the hood is not up and the shape of the jacket is a bit funny. It's got a defined "pear" shape to it while wearing. But aside from that VERY practical parka.

Looks well made. Didn't seem to have as much fill as I expected. I ordered XL; have ordered this size before in a goose down coat (which was lost/stolen) and the fit was great; roomy enough to wear a bulky sweater under it. This coat was not roomy enough for anything bulky to be worn under it so I returned it. I did not order a replacement because it was not filled as well as the previous one ( which was similar but no longer available) and have purchased a different coat.

This is a great coat! I wish it would have worked for me. I am 5'3 and found the coat to look silly. I wish they had this in an XXS and it would have been great

I bought the outer boroughs parka instead of a Canada Goose and I am sorry. The front zipper sticks so I nennd to repeatedly work at zipping it, the sleeves are long with the biggest problem the inner mitten part, that takes me minutes to push my arms all the way through, it feels very bulky and heavy, and the magnet fasteners stuck to other magnet objects. I'm small 108 and 4'10" . I bought this coat after reading all the praises and high marks it had as keeping warm and comfortable.

I love how warm and stylish it is

Great warm coat

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter, she has great taste and loves this coat. It looks great on her.

The jacket felt very warm, but the sizing was weird. It fit snug through the shoulders but HUGE in the chest. Also, the waist didn’t really nip in enough and it seemed really shapeless and unflattering. It might have looked better had a sized down, but I would not have managed it with the shoulders. I tried another North Face jacket and had the same issue, so maybe the brand just fits this way (for reference, I’m 5’9” and I think my shoulders are well-proportioned to my frame, but probably broader than those of someone petite). Returning.

You get your moneys worth out of it

Ok So I felt compelled to review this item and I rarely review anything!! After much debate I decided to purchase this jacket and I'm glad that I did!! I ordered many jackets including on a whim a couple Canada goose jackets Just to see what all the hype was about but I can honestly tell you that in my opinion this jacket is every bit of stylish as those coats that are way more $$$!! I have more of a petite frame I am 5' 4 and about 118 pounds I went with the extra small it is very fitted on me which is what I like!! I will say this is a heavier coat and it will definitely keep you warm but manages To be slimming and not to puffy on the body!! If you are looking for a warmer coat this one is for you!!

Comfortable and warm. A little tight around the waist and stomach area.

Beautiful and warm jacket! I personally don't find that it restricts movement like other reviewers, but I also opted to size up to a medium since I always wear thick layers. My only complaint is that it always takes me longer than I feel it should to get the zipper zipped. I also wish the inner lining around the neck matched the built in mittens... but that's a minor detail. Functionally, it works well.

Purchased this for a trip to NYC and it's definitely kept me warm! We also had some terrible weather and it just rained all day. This coat kept me completely dry. Its also super stylish and definitely has the quality that you expect from North Face products.

I was really looking forward to wearing this jacket, but it wasn't the right match for me. It's very well made and it looked great before I put it on. The reason I didn't keep it was because it was too bulky and heavy for me to wear on a regular basis. In Northface, I usually need to buy a size up, but in this case the size up was too big. I would have returned it and bought the smaller size if it weren't so heavy.

I live in Montreal and bought this beautiful parka few days ago. on the day I purchased this parka the weather was -11 centigrade and I just tried it on for a short walk from guy Concordia to Mc D (people from Montreal know that its a super short distance). I was disappointed! I was chilling inside! I know for sure that it's not good for Canada

Love this jacket!! Everything about it is awesome!!! A little pricey but definitely worth the money:)

So comfy and warm! Lightweight! Feels like you are inside a warm blanket

This is the perfect coat for walking my dogs in the cold weather. I love taking them for long walks, but hate the cold. This jacket keeps me so warm. The hood is amazing and sits perfectly in place, you can even take off the fur if you want. It's also stylish and not puffy at all.

I bought this product as a gift to someone and she loved it. It is very warmth and stylish. It looks great on her. She uses it for the cold weather in Ohio and also when it is raining. It is long enough to keep you warmth.
