Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka II

Warm, great coverage, great range of motion, size up if you have a larger chest. I'm 5'8" with a 34DD chest and wear a size 10 in pants and the medium fit me really well. Not sure why others are complaining about the zipper; I tried on several parkas by North Face and others thought the zipper was of better quality in this parka than the others I tried.

I bought this coat for winter, cold months and it was the best purchase I have ever made. It has kept me extremly warm for the cold -3 degree weather. With me being short also, it helps keep my legs warmer.

Great coat to run around town in

Purchased this coat last winter and highly recommend it. It seemed like a big investment but totally worth the money. So warm and toasty. Love it, love it, love it!!

I love the length and warmth of this coat. By far the warmest coat I've owned!

My colleague had bought the same coat last year and I couldn't wait to buy it and use it this year. Warm, yet stylish- it has been great as temperatures drop!

I got the white color and it's so pretty. It is stylish and really keeps me warm in cold weather. Compare to other jackets this one is is not that bulky. Nice investment in the jacket and I'll definitely recommend it to my friends!

A lil bulky, but doesn't restrict movement. Very warm and comfy.

A little bit about me: I walk and take the bus everywhere in my city. I am always cold, even sometimes in the summer! It's like I don't make enough of my own heat to retain warmth. When this coat arrived I was really confused because when I think of an "arctic parka" I think of a thick and heavy coat, but the box was light as a feather. I pulled out the coat and immediately thought it wouldn't work, because it's so thin and light. But I wore it on my quarter-mile walk home from work in ten degree blustery cold at night and I was sweating when I got home! I'm 5'5" and 130 pounds and I got a small. It's hard to zip up because it's a little snug, but once it's zipped up I have no problem moving around. My arms are long so the sleeves could be an inch or two longer. My only issue with this coat is that it zips up to my nose, but I'll probably never be able to do that because there isn't enough room allowance to be comfortable. With a scarf, this won't be that much of an issue though. Now I can do another 8-month Ohio winter without turning into a popsicle!

Great for cold weather in the Midwest. Looks super cute too!

this is the best winter coat I've ever owned. when I go to work and have to walk from the parking-lot I'm as toasty as can be. I should have invested in a north-face much sooner. all the money wasted on mediocre coats.Thanks north-face

This parka is really warm, but not bulky. I've gotten lots of compliments on it, and I've been wearing it even on days that aren't too cold. I'm 5'7" 135lbs and the medium fits perfectly.

I enjoy wearing it anywhere anytime the weather is cold I know I won't be cold. Keeps me and my lower back warm at all times and that is the most important part for me.

This parka is amazing. I wear it in Chicago's negative wind chills and the only parts of me that stay warm are what this coat covers. Worth every penny.

Bought this for my mom and she loves the warmth. She says this the best coat she's ever had . BIg Ups To NORTH FACE for this purchase

I'm obsessed with this coat. It's so warm and comfortable. The guide to find your size worked perfectly for me. Would recommend this coat to everyone.

I got it just in time below freezing weather. Comfy to dive in and cozy to sit at the Bronco games

I did a huge amount of research before I bought my winter coat. I knew for sure I was staying the heck away from Canada Goose, Moncler, and any other brand that used real fur, but it still meant I had a lot of coats to consider. I went into the store and tried this coat on and immediately fell in love, but because it was the first coat I looked at, I decided to shop around anyway. After a few weeks, I wound back around to this one, bit the bullet and bought it. Am I ever glad I did! Winter in NY did not get cold until early January, but the first cold day we had was -12C / 12F. I donned this coat and one thin sweater underneath and walked to work as I normally do. It is a 45 minute walk so I was out there in the cold for that long and this coat kept me lovely and snug and warm. It fits beautifully and has a really flattering shape, and I found the North Face very true to size. I am a US size 14 and the XL fits me well with room for layers. I could probably have gotten away with a L if I did not want to layer up. This morning, 1 degree Celsius, I walked to work with a short sleeved blouse underneath the coat and by the time I got to work I was too warm for it to stay on a second longer. THAT is how warm this coat is. It feels good on as well. It has a really nice fit and weight and it really does feel well made, considering it is not made in the US. The price tag is high, but it is worth it.

I love my new Parka. It's stylish, comfortable and easy to wear. Keeps me warm on single digit days and the hood with the fur looks super cute even with a hat underneath.

I am a male in his 50's that finds going to a store, especially during the holidays, aggravating. I went online and searched the inventory of jackets for my wife. I found one and added the decorative box. It came within the 2 days. It was easy and convenient. Done within 15 minutes.

girlfriend loves this coat wanted one for a few years so i finally bought her one

It did not arrived on Christmas eve, I constantly watch and tracked it. Eventually went back to Fed Ex picked up after Christmas, very nice coat and I will continue to give you my business Thanks

Great present for my wife, she absolutely loved it.

Fits great. I love the black on black fur. I can't believe how warm it is especially in this frigid NYC weather. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone.

The color is beautiful, It's so warm, I like it so much, I want to buy a different color!
