Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka II

Love the style. I'm 6' tall and the length is great!!

I bought this coat specifically for my trip to Iceland. The weather changes by the minute...wind, blizzard, sleet, rain to sun. It kept me warm and dry...I can't give enough praise and I'm completely satisfied. It's not cheap but totally worth the price!

I love this coat! It's warm, comfortable and stylish!

I have been wanting a high quality winter jacket that was both warm and stylish and this is the one! The fit is perfect, it's shockingly the perfect length (I'm 5'1"), and I have only had it for about a week and I have already received so many compliments.

I bought this as my first winter jacket and am so impressed by how warm it keeps me. I went outside in 5 degree (F) weather and was cozy even when I just had a tank top underneath. Great fit. Comfortable. Flexible. A little bulky, but not bad compared to others in the same class of warmth and waterproofness. Would buy this jacket again in a heartbeat.

I love everything about this coat. I wanted a white parka and my search continued to come up with this one. Because of my height (6'1), women coats really didn't fit me well so I've always bought men's coats. I went to the northface store in NY to buy one while visiting, but the store didn't carry it. The sales associate was very helpful and nice when I asked to try on any woman's XXL to see if it fit and she found one. That XXL fit perfectly and the sales associate ordered the coat I wanted and had it delivered in two days to my home in VA. This XXL fit way better than the one in the store and the sleeves were just long enough to my liking. It also outlined my shape instead of the boxy men's look. I bought my daughter the exact one in black in November and she really loves it. This coat is very warm with a perfect fit. I will continue to get my coates from Northface since I can be assured of the fit for women. This winter has been brutally cold and this coat has kept us very warm. I can't say enough about this coat. Please check it out for yourself.

live in Rochester and it's winter time. This parka is really warm and it keeps rain and snow away from you...... really love it and plan to buy one for my mom as a gift.

I wore this Jacket in Zero degree Celsius with windy and snowy conditions. I have to say that I felt so warm and well equipped...did not feel cold at all. It was amazing!! Left in Ireland for my daughter to use through the cold Ireland winters!! And it is stylish too..would buy this again:))

Recently moved from Austin TX to Philly, so not use to snow and cold. This coat was great investment. I work outside and this keeps me warm. I actually started to overheat. I recommend this coat.

I bought this coat for winters up North and it works extremely well

I've never owned a good quality coat that really did the job of keeping me warm in the winter. Every other coat felt like the wind and cold were going straight through it. The first time I put this coat on I was astonished by how warm and impenetrable it felt. In addition to being ridiculously warm, I find that the coat fits perfectly (thanks to the online size guide), and that it's incredibly stylish and practical. I truly love it.

I just moved to Wisconsin (in January) and knew I'd need a warmer jacket since I planned to walk or bus to work. I've only had this a few weeks, but so far so good. This jacket is comfortable, keeps me very warm, and breaks the wind. It is heavy so it would be hard to pack in a suitcase but it is working for what I bought it for. It falls just above my knees and I'm 5'3. There are 2 zippers so you can zip the jacket and then unzip it a bit from the bottom to allow for longer strides when walking. I also like the look of this jacket. It's cinched a bit in the waist but isn't restrictive and it's down but doesn't have a puffy look like many down jackets because of the wind/waterproof shell.

The jacket keeps me very warm and I don't even notice I have it on because of it's light weight. On top of doing its job to keep me warm, it's stylish at the same time because of the slim fit. I absolutely love this jacket.

perfect for nyc winter...fits nicely and looks good

This has to be the warmest coat I have owned. Very comfortable, did return medium for next size up-was tight with sweater under. Ordered "New Taupe" which I expected to be a shade of tan but was more of an olive green.

Bought this parka for a trip to Iceland. It was perfect for the cold days especially with strong winds and rain. The hood covers your head, ears, and face. The cuffs hold snug on wrists to prevent wind moving up sleeves as well as holds sleeves in place without restriction. It's cozy, versatile, and stylish.

This is jacket is great for the winter no matter how cold it gets! You will stay warm for sure.

Love this coat! Keeps me nice and warm in upstate NY winters! I'm 5'2 and got a size Med which is a tad big but wanted extra room for when I wear thicker sweaters. I was nervous that it would be too long but the length of the coat is great! Highly suggest this coat for anyone petite.

I love this jacket - it keeps me warm during walks to and from work, and the hood blocks the wind from my face.

This product is great !!! North face is an excellent c p coat for Xtreme winters.. love it!!!

I needed this parka for subzero temperatures in the Bakken, in North Dakota. I bought the navy color and it's nice, a refreshing change from black. This parka is warm, comfortable and I love the faux fur trim on hood. The sizing seemed right to me, with not a whole lot of room to layer under it...which I did not really need to do, because it's warm. I did need several thin layers of long underwear, thermal shirt, thinner wool sweater, when the outdoor temps hit -30 degrees.

Fits great! You can tell that it is well made. Very warm. Looks stylish. Everything I wanted in a jacket!

In this cold weather this jacket is perfect I love it

I love this jacket and had to buy a 2nd one since I wanted a different color. The first one I got 6 years ago and is still going strong. This jacket is the warmest jacket I've ever had and on degrees at 0 or below 0, I know I can depend on it -- rain, snow, this is the only jacket I use during the winter. I also love it that is not a short jacket and the length is well below the knees, I'm 5"6' so I guess it depends on your height.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who asks, I've had it a few weeks and I've gotten many compliments on the color, style and overall appearance of the jacket. I'm not one to spend a lot on anything but this was definitely worth every penny.
