Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka II

Looking forward to testing my red parka in Chicago's extreme winter weather!

This coat was bought to handle Russian winters and it absolutely does that. The hood helps to keep warmth from escaping from my head and it is long enough to cover the majority of my body. Great find!

Fits perfect! Winter in Minnesota looks much more bearable. Thanks!

I've been looking at this parka for awhile and finally made the purchase. I'm in MN and the winters can be cold and windy. I just received my jacket this summer, but I know by just trying it on it will do the job of keeping me warm. I'm 5'4" and about 125 lbs. I ordered the small as I normally do and it fits perfect but there's not a lot of extra room for big bulky clothes under. However, the fact the jacket is so warm it won't even matter. I'm excited to wear it!

I got my coat a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. The fit is perfect and the red color I bought it in looks just like in the picture. The hood fits very well and overall the coat quality is excellent! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a warm winter coat.

This jacket is by far one of the best purchases that I have made. This jacket is warm, comfortable and the fit is excellent. I love the length and the medium fits me perfect. I'm 5'8 and 145 lbs. I love the North Face and all of their products are top notch. It's great having the comfort of a lifetime warranty. They really know how to take care of their customers and we keep on coming back! Thank you The North Face for being such a great brand!

This is an amazing winter coat, you won't need any coat in your closet but this one. I felt the length to be perfect and the lining is outstanding. I just want people to know this is a really great investment. I also feel this coat is true to size if you are familiar with your North Face size. I don't feel the sizing of this coat is any different than others. I'm 5ft 6, 130lbs and an XS fits perfect with room for layering, I always get an XS in North Face coats. Every North Face sizing chart tells me to get a Small but it ends up looking like a tent on me!

Love the jacket, I wasn't able to get it last winter as they ran out from stock

This is my first NF jacket purchase and I am very pleased. It's a great coat that's perfect for the cold, wet and snowy winter in Michigan. I am 5'8''/132 lbs and the Medium fits well with room for layering underneath. The sleeves also are the correct length and the cut is flattering. This coat is a great mix between stylish and functional. Would purchase again.

There is no coats that compare to north face they keep me very warm I live in New York it's needed to when you go out you won't feel the cold

Had the identical coat in white in 2006 - my mistake, I washed it in a regular washer and it was never the same. In early 2014 I tried several other NF styles without any success. This coat just came back in stock in Black - ordered immediately and am very very happy with the style and cut. I'm 5'5 appx 125 lbs with broad shoulders; won't be able to wear a heavy sweater but won't need to! Length is perfect and is very well made (I tend to destroy zippers). It's as well made as the earlier coat, and I hope to get many many winters out of this one.

I bough this coat to replace an existing winter coat I had and boy was I satisfied. I love the fact that it's so warm, yet so light. It's the greatest lightest coat I have found!

Only thing the zipper, is too loose.

Second coat I have purchased and I am extremely satisfied with the quality of this brand and styles

Great coat! This coat is perfect for the sometimes rainy/snowy winters in Washington DC. I am 5'8", 135 with broad shoulders and hips. The M is the perfect size and leaves plenty of room for a sweater or Blazer to be warn underneath. I have already washed and dried the coat without any issues.

This is the greatest coat ever! Cold doesn't even phase me anymore now that I have this coat. True to size and very flattering. Fur can be unzipped from the hood for a different look. Love it! I suggest everyone buys this coat!

I wore this coat for the first time today and it's very very warm and feels so good on. My friend said I look like I'm stuck, but that's because I didn't want to move my head out of the pocket of the hood (since I didn't want to full put the hood on, my head made a pocket in it). I'm so glad I paid the money for this coat and I'm so glad it was well worth it. I'm very very picky and I never do green anything, but I bought this green Parka and I really love the color. You won't be disappointed, at least I wasn't.

When my family learned I was moving to Minnesota for work, they gave me this coat as a Christmas present. Let me just say: best present ever! The past 10 days have been cold (highs in the low single digits, overnight lows in the negatives) and nothing gets through this thing. I was actually sweating while I was shoveling snow earlier today. I am 5'2", 115lbs and the size small fits great (and goes down to about 3 inches above my knee). Now, I'm looking for something similar for my husband!

I just bought this coat last Saturday knowing I was going to be standing outside in a snow storm at a football game the following day. This was actually my very first The North Face purchase and I knew in the first for minutes of standing out in the snow I had made the right choice! Not only was I warm and dry the entire time I was out in the elements (over 5 hours) I was comfortable and stylish! While other people I was with were complaining about the cold temps, I never once felt cold! This coat did it's job and then some! Definitely a must have for anyone who's looking for a cute, functional, warm winter coat.

I ordered this Parka after our first cold snap. It arrived just in time for the next one. It is perfect! Not too heavy, yet warm enough to brave our brisk prairie winds during long afternoons at the dog park. It's also just about the only knee-length parka out there this year, which means I can wear it with skirts or dresses with boots. The detailing in the back keeps this parka from looking like, well, a parka. I feel both stylish and warm. Can't beat that combination!

I LOVE this coat. I bought it for an upcoming winter trip to Europe and I couldn't be more pleased. The fit is true to size. I'm 5'4" and rather curvy (especially in the bust). The XL fit me perfectly. The quality is excellent, which is to be expected from North Face items. I expect to wear this coat for many, many years to come.

Quality made, fits well--good color (the perfect green) . Very warm and cozy. Looks good (Not bulky). Worth the money.

This jacket keeps me warm! I live in a very windy city and this jacket keeps me warm! It is also stylish.

Perfect fit. Great warmth for NY winters!

this coat was a gift for my daughter, who lives in Chicago, where the winters are famously windy and very cold. She has told me that this coat is absolutely the warmest one she has ever had! It's also very good-looking, which counts, too.
