Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka II

This coat seems to fit very well & is warm which is Extremely important for someone such as myself which has a cold body temperature most of the time. This coat arrived perfectly in time the night before a snow storm came in thankfully! I was able to try it out & put it to the test as what North Face is apparently known for high standards. I look forward to enjoying this coat for some years to come!!

I was looking for a warm but stylish winter coat, and saw this on someone. I am 5'9" and 175 pounds and the large fit me like a glove. Love this coat!!

I got this parka on sale in vintage white. The color is gorgeous. The fit is very good, with appropriate figure enhancing seams to show a shape (instead of looking like a pillow lol). I'm 5'10 and I got a medium (I went by waist/chest/hip measurements on the size chart). I have pretty long arms and I was worried about it being long enough. Well, it's definitely long enough! I wore this for a dog walk in very wet, cold weather. The rain literally poured! I was completely dry and warm. The water rolled off the coat like beads. Then the dog covered me in mulch and dirt, well, I thought... "that's it for the vintage white coat, Should've gotten the black". Guess what? By the time we walked back, most dirt rolled off of me with the rain pouring on me and washing the dirt off!

I have been eyeing this jacket for awhile and then it went on sale and I decided to jump on it! And so glad I did!

I LOVE this coat!!! I have gone through a lot of down coats because I was always worried about my finances and bought what was cheapest. This coat is worth every penny I paid for it. The fit is comfortably slimming and snug. With my other down coats I always had to wear a sweater or polartec to be warm enough. Today I wore a long sleeve t-shirt and my coat even though I was walking to work in the middle of rain storm. My coat beaded up the water and kept me dry and warm. I still have my first North Face down coat I purchase as a graduate student in 1984. It may not be in the prettiest of condition but I use it to do chores around our farm. I cannot say enough good about North Face products, if you can spend a little extra you will get a high quality product.

I love how flattering this coat is. It's tailored for a woman's body and doesn't look like you're wearing a sleeping bag like with most down coats. It's very very warm and stylish! Love the New Taupe it's like a dark khaki green color. Would recommend!

I lovethe coat so far. Have only had a couple of days so no chance to wear it yet. On the pro side it looks very durable. Also the zipper seems VERY durable. Very stylish and comfortable.

I am in love with this jacket. I have been looking a jacket like this for a long time. It is warm, lightweight and waterproof. Good for winter, windy and rainy days. Stylish since the body design is not straight like a bucket. The hood with fur is so lovely, it fits me so well.

I am so happy that I bought this jacket! I am taking a trip to the arctic circle and looking forward to see how good this parka works! I got another one from Eddie Bauer to compare and the north face is SO MUCH BETTER! There's even a convenient pocket on the inside of the NF jacket and is waterproof unlike my EB parka. The fit is true to size. I always wear a M but I got a L bc I will be layering a ton of clothes underneath. The shoulders are slightly narrow on me but fit fine because I sized up. Highly recommend!

It's been YEARS since I've had a really warm coat. I live in NYC and I've always prioritized fashion over warmth. I just got this coat and it's made a world of difference already. I can wear a t-shirt under it in the current ~35+ degree weather and feel warm. It really feels like I'm being hugged with warmth. I don't think the pictures really do this coat justice. It's very fitted, sleek and stylish and has a beautiful lining. I'm 5'4, 125lbs and my waist is about 28 inches. I got a small. The sleeve length is perfect. The fitted waist originally seemed a little tight but I just needed to get used to it, there's room, but I would say size up if you feel you'll need more room than your immediate waist measurement. I love the hood because it's not huge and stays on when I have headphones or a hat on underneath, unless it's windy. The coat goes right above my knees in front and a little lower in the back. It also has a double zipper so if you need more leg room you can unzip it from the bottom. I do wish that the neck area was wider. I can't zip the coat all the way to the top comfortably. I'd like to be able to do that and put my chin into the neck, but that's not possible. If I had bought a medium it probably would have been but I think I would have lost the fitted shape.

I absolutely love this coat!!! So incredibly warm. I'm 5'9 155 lbs and I ordered a medium and it fits perfectly! The sleeves are even long enough for me which I can rarely find in a coat. I bought the black one and it's gorgeous. I would love to get the gray eventually too...

I'm from Minnesota so winters are brutal here and this jacket has kept me warm. This is actually my second time purchasing it for myself because I wanted a different color. I also got it form my 82 year old grandma who needed something warm in the winter I highly recommend this jacket!!

This is a really nice coat. It is extremely warm & cozy for the materials it is made of. I was recently able to try it out due to a couple of snow days recently. I would highly recommend this coat hands down!!

I LOVE this coat! I had originally purchased a Columbia coat and I found it to not be very warm or wind proof. This coat is both of those things and more! Very cute and flattering and great quality! I would buy this coat over and over again!

I finally have a North Face coat. I always buy for my son has 6. We live in the North East and have major storms. I really really Love that I found my size.

I think this coat might run a tiny bit small but it’s awesome. Super high quality. It has a zipper and buttons. It seems very warm. I’m a size 8 and usually I’d get a medium but I took a chance and got a size large and I’m glad I did. It allows me to wear a thicker sweater or sweatshirt underneath the coat and still be comfortable. I would highly recommend this coat!

This coat is so warm and snuggly! The fit is great and it's cute!

Bought for my college-age daughter. It keeps her warm on long walks to class!!

Love the scoop in the back.

I use it everyday. Love it

I'm so happy that arrive. It what how I was expecting.

I really like the Arctic Parka II ... This one replaces the one I bought years ago ...

This coat replaced a Northface triclimate coat that I've had for over 10 years. I was looking for something longer and more stylish and this parka is exactly that. Living in Minnesota most of us wear giant puffy coats with no style just to stay warm. It feels high quality and the zipper is very smooth and works well. With longer coats that have zippers on the top and bottom of coat they often stick and don't work well but this coat has a high quality zipper that doesn't feel like it will get stuck. I like that the fur can be removed if I don't want to wear it that day. I am very happy with my purchase- the black parka looks great and will be nice and warm in the Minnesota winters!

This was a great buy! I was looking for a winter jacket that would keep me warm in low temperatures, and it definitely does! The only thing I would say is that it is a little tight in my hips/thighs when I zip it up, but the large was way too big on me.

I absolutely love this coat! I wasn't sure how this style would fit on me and it is so flattering! Extremely warm, love the "inner sleeve" that's part of the arm..keeps your wrist nice and toasty. The length goes right above the knee for me (I'm 5'4) which will keep my legs warm as well! Buy this coat!
