Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka II

Great fit. Super warm. The white is a perfect antique white.

I bought this coat in November 2017 and I still use it till this day! I live in a place where it gets incredibly cold (Negative 56 degrees F) and I needed a jacket that would help me keep warm and this jacket definitely does it. When it is super windy, I don't feel the wind anywhere on my body or thighs, just my face! I seriously cannot stress enough how awesome this jacket is and how warm it keeps me! I even sat on ice for an hour once in it and my butt never even got wet! I usually wear a Large in women's clothing, Medium in Men's clothing and I got an XL large in this coat (5'7, 200 lbs) and it fits perfect - not too tight and not too big. So, I suggest going a size up. The one complaint I do have is that sometimes the pocket zippers get stuck and that the inside pocket does not fit my iPhone X in the case. I would have wanted the inside pocket a bit bigger. But, other than that - no complaints!

Fits great on an hourglass figure. I am 5'10", about 200 pounds. I got an XL. The only part that is a bit uncomfortable is an extra high and narrow collar.

I ordered a size medium in the urban navy color, which is a very deep true navy. I’m 5’4”, 126 lbs., and 34B (35 inch bust). The chest and back were very large, even over a medium weight fleece. The sleeves were long and the collar sat very high. The weight of the medium jacket made my back hurt even when wearing it for a short period around the house. I returned it for a size small, which fits better in the chest, back, and sleeves. It’s great over a light sweater, but is a bit snug over a medium weight fleece.

Love The North Face brand. I walk the beach in the northeast and need a warm jacket. I wear an xl in all other outerwear.. will return this L for XXL as it is super snug.

This jacket is well made and very flattering. The olive color is lovely and the overall shape of the jacket is appealing. With that said, I used the size-chart and it suggested the XS, even when I went a bit above my actual weight/size. I am petite, 5'2", 105 lbs and the jacket is just too snug. If I wear any kind of sweater or layered tops underneath, it is very tight near my armpits and at the waist area. With just a long sleeve, it fits perfectly, but that may not always be the case in the winter. I will be returning the jacket for a small, but do recommend otherwise!

I love the fit and style, but the button on the hood keeps popping off and everytime I zip the whole jacket one side of the hood pops off. It was very annoying and for some reason wouldnt stay.

I loved this coat. Unfortunately it runs very small. I wear XL - 1X. This coat was a 2X and I couldn’t close it. Very disappointed.

This parka leaks feathers badly. Not only on the clothing worn underneath, but also on anything in the pockets (my gloves were always covered). Upsetting because I liked everything else about the parka, but this problem makes it unwearable. I expected more from Northface.

Very warm for Chicago winter weather.

I was apprehensive about spending this much on a coat but it has been the best investment. It keeps me so warm in Iowa when it can get pretty chilly.

I wear my coat to work daily and it very comfortable ,not bulky and fits perfect.

I use it to protect me in harsh environments it keeps me comfy, warm & dry

I did a lot of research about winter coats that aren't puffers, and finally decided on the Arctic Parka II. I don't regret my choice! Initially I was skeptical of getting my usual size S because of some extra lbs, but it turned out to be a great fit. Cozy, form-fitting, yet stylish. Best part is, I snagged a great deal at Zappos!

Arrived in perfect condition, shocked at this incredible deal. Fitted coat, snug at waistline, excellent quality comparable to my last NF I purchased 12 years ago, length is great. I'm a realtor so I'm constantly exposed to bad weather. Only downfall of this coat is the sleeves are a little on the short side.

The North Face puffer parka I had before purchasing this one was with me for 8 years. Needless to say, I was nervous about finding another that I would love as much. This parka is stylish, comfortable, and most importantly warm without bulk. I'm very happy with it. The blue is pretty bright, but is better than the basic standard black parka.

Do yourself a favor and get this jacket!! It’s honestly the warmest! It’s true and perfect to size. The hood can come on and off based on what you like. I struggled to find the best jacket when it gets cold outside and always purchased jackets that were not warm enough. Until... I found this Northface one. So comfortable and fitting and not too bulky! I simply love it

Perfect and just as described!

this is a beautiful coat. I ordered in the heather grey which I thought would go with a majority of my clothing. The fit is fine, the length is perfect and I can't wait to wear it next winter!!!

I am in between the small and medium, so I went with the medium. It’s a little big, but the small was tight. I wore in in cold wind this week and it was nice and warm.

I love, love, love this coat! It is well made, stylish, and fits perfectly (just as I want it to). I always purchase coats a size larger so that I can stuff a bulky sweater under it , if necessary. I love the high collar and the hood, I am ready for next winter.

Great quality, I sized down and overall I think it will work great for me. I am always cold so I was looking for a coat that kept me warm, but not bulky and this feels like it will fit the bill!

Bought for teenage daughter- she's 5' 9" and about 125 lbs. Size small is roomy on her but will fit and last for a few years which is appreciated. She loves the green color and it looks great on her. Very happy with purchase!

Good quality. Love the color and fit!

Love it! Perfect fit
