Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka II

I does run a smidge small in the arms. But Northface coats do, in general.

I AM USING THIS COAT AS MY CASUAL WINTER COAT. I GET SO MANY COMPLIMENTS.

It is very cold in the Midwest and a warm coat is a necessity. The coat is very warm, comfortable and fits cozy. I would recommend purchasing this coat.

LOVE this coat!!! So warm and stylish!!!

This coat will be perfect for winter walks with the dogs. Warm and windproof and still stylish. Love the hood. I am glad I ordered a M. My other NF coat is a small. So this one runs on the small side.

This is a great coat for the chilly fall & winter weather.

Ordered this just in time for an Arctic blast in northern Minnesota.. -10, with it feeling like -21 with windchill, and this jacket performs amazingly. Long enough to keep your legs warm, and also thick enough to block the wind and keep you warm, without being overly heavy! The green taupe color matches the fur color on the hood really nicely and looks stylish for what is a heavy duty winter jacket. I highly recommend this to people who want a very warm winter jacket that still keeps you looking nice with the cinched waist! I believe the quality will last a very long time, so the price point is worth it. When ordering, just be careful with sizing.. the size finder did recommend the small over the medium for me, however small would've been much too tight. I am 5'6, 130 lbs, and a 34D for reference. The medium is snug, but in the right way.

Such a beautiful coat and love this new taupe green and is so warm! Ordered a small and was a bit tight in the chest so I ordered a medium and was a perfect fit, leaving room for a heavy sweater. I’m 5’1 and 130 36c cup in chest for reference

Love it, very warm!

I love this coat for winter! It's warm, but also extremely flattering, which is rare to find in a parka (at least for me).

I've had the same northface jacket for 10 years, and I was excited about an upgrade. This jacket feels super warm so far. I like that the sleeves have an inner layer to keep the cold out and the length is perfect! Covers the entire booty :)

Got this for a last minute up north! Totally surpassed my expectations!

I wear this coat all winter long

Perfect fit

I've been wanting to get a long winter coat, especially since I am transferring to a 4 year college next year in the mid west. I know I will be doing a lot of walking across campus in the frigid cold. I am so happy with this one from the North Face! It's extremely well made and warm. I love the green color and that it's machine washable!

I bought a size medium and it fits just fine I am able to add light layers under it. It's a great coat for those cold rainy days. I have not worn it when it's been very cold so I can't tell you if it's really warm or not.

This Coat runs Small. I was reading the reviews and wasn’t sure about what size to order. I originally ordered a medium it fit but was very snug so I returned it for a large. I’m 5’3” 143lbs. It’s a very warm coat. Looks good over business or casual attire.

Best winter jacket ever! Stylish look, feels great and keeps me warm!!! Winning

Love the heather gray color. This jacket is warm, comfortable and fits true to size. The length is great,not to short nor too long. I like that it cover the cold car seat when driving.

As a soon to be Peace Corp volunteer in Eastern Europe, I knew my Floridian closet wasn't going to cut in over there. I wanted a coat that was both warm and durable without leaving me looking like a marshmallow. This coat fits all my needs perfectly. While I have yet to test this coat against bellow freezing weather, I have no doubts that it will hold up nicely. I definitely recommend it!

This jacket is so warm, even on the coldest and windiest days. The length is great, goes to my knees and I am 5'6". The good fits perfectly, isn't too big or small and stays on when here is a if wind gust. This jacket is a little fitted at the waist but I am still able to wear a fleece under it and have room for probably another layer. I can move my arms freely and not feel constricted. I love that the sleeve has a ditties cuff at the end and doesn't allow for snow or cold air to get up the sleeve. You will not regret buying this coat!

I am a desert rat relocating to Minnesota- the idea of a true winter with ice/snow/wind is something completely new to me. I opted for this coat after reading TONS of reviews- I am not disappointed. This coat is by no means bulky and cut very flattering. I have more of a waist in this than I did in my prom dress. I never felt cumbersome moving around and never got sweaty or too hot transitioning indoors/outdoors in 5 degree weather. Blown away by the value of this coat- would buy again without hesitation!

I wear this parka every cold day

First off, I LOVE the new taupe colour - green but still neutral (I usually go for black or grey). Second, this jacket is literally perfect. It's so so so warm but not heavy or restrictive. I wear it during snowstorms and rainstorms, or even just for a walk around the block on a chilly evening. It has a stylish fit which makes me not embarrassed to wear it when commuting to work (I work in a formal business environment - I don't feel like I need to switch out this jacket for a less-warm but perhaps more professional pea coat - I've actually received many compliments on my parka from colleagues). Purchase this coat once, and you'll find it lasts you for years. And when you do decide you'd like to change in for a new one, you'll likely want to purchase the exact same one again like I did (perhaps in a different colour!).

I liked the coat overall, just desired the Black which was why I returned the Blue one which is a very nice shade also.
