Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka II

Nice coat / parka.. While size is XXL, this coat is more of an XL. Keeps you warm in the cold upper Midwest winter weather. Nice to find a good waterproof coat. .

Though I have not worn yet I have great expectations for my coat. The fit guide was helpful I can't wait to wear my coat

This coat is warm and cute. Perfect for cold city weather. It also has some elastic around the waist to give the coat a shape. Love it!

I have owned North Face jacket before but I wanted a longer yet casual warm jacket for the Chicago cold winters. I'm 5'0" tall and about 112 lbs. the XS was more fitted than I expected but the Small was bulky and looked big. Overall it's cute and super warm with the hood. I would recommend it!

Had to return the coat because the hood snaps (plastic) wouldn't hold. Good return policy but I've been without a coat for a week waiting for a replacement.

i really like this coat! it's a little bulky but keeps me warm. i was irritated with the zipper at first but i have learned to gently ensure it's properly gripped before trying to zipper and it is just fine. it was pouring rain today and the coat kept me warm & dry.

The jacket is nice and warm. It is just the right length for me, just above my knees. It is a little more snug than I normally wear but not constricting, its comfortable. The color is very nice, it is the Deep Garnet Red Heather.

Love the coat. It's super cute and really is a barrier to cold weather. I walked my dogs in 20 degree weather and did not feel any cold air except my face. Only one advice- purchase on an upsize.

I bought this coat in a medium as a gift for my daughter. She is 5'6" and weighs a 120 lbs. It fit her perfect. She goes to school in the Northeast and this coat keeps her warm and dry.

I had to size up to a large, because it was too tight in the shoulders and chest. I'm always a medium in North Face jackets, but not in this style. Sleeves ran short also. Loved the fur trim and the fact that it is waterproof.

Great coat, but was too small for the person the coat was purchased for. Went to a local store that carries North Face coats so that coats could be tried on. Purchased another North Face coat that fits her great and looks fabulous!

I just got this jacket as a Christmas gift from my husband. I was confused on what size to order as many comments said that the jacket fit small but I think it fits true to size! Maybe even a larger fit. After just having a baby and my body being bigger than usual I wanted a jacket that will fit me now and when I loose the baby weight. I am 5"5 155 pounds with broad shoulders and the jack fits perfectly. when I get down to 140-145 the jacket will be a little loose but I don't mind because I will be able to wear big sweaters underneath. So happy I didn't waste money on a goose or nobis. THIS JACKET IS WORTH THE MONEY!

Very nice jacket. Warm enough for Wisconsin winter so far.

I use this coat for Chicago's frigid winters. It keeps me very warm. I found that my normal size , small, was too fitted with no room for layers so I went a size up. The zippers are hard to zip up (If it wasn't for this, I would have given it 5 stars). Overall good coat.

Nice fit and good quality but the cut is a bit less than desired

I needed a warm and stylish coat to navigate the cold streets of Manhattan this winter. This coat fit the bill. The faux fur is a little stiff, the only downfall for me.

Although I really like this coat, i would bean very happy if it had a longer sleeve that could cover the wrist.

Just started using it. So far it's been great. Warm and cozy. The only thing I would say is that it is a little bulky. It is hard to carry a back pack or a shoulder bag. The straps keep sliding down.

I wear it to walk my dog . I live in Colorado and the weather is pretty cold, icy and windy.

Very good quality with fair price. Keep me warm and it is wind resistant and water proof. So it is perfect for winter sports. Cons is that the parka is a little bit heavy.

This is an excellent coat. It feels like you're wearing a duvet! I have no doubt it would stand up to the worst of the cold and wind. I will unfortunately be returning it but only because it is a little too bulky for me. I wish I could keep it!!

I was eyeing on this product for a long time, was hoping it will going on sale. However, this was never happened. And, I needed to go on Canada for Thanksgiving, so I purchased this parka anyway since Canada is cold, and I can wear it to test how warm this parka is. So, the coat arrived 1 day before thanksgiving day. It was prefect timing. I ordered large but the website says I better suit with size M. But after reading all the reviews, I decided to order one size up, and I am glad I did. Even though the coat is a bit loose on me, but the length is perfect since I am 5"9, weight 136 lbs. So, I'll suggest to order one size up. So, as planned, I went to Montreal and Quebec with this parka. The weather was rainy and snowy when I was there. But this parka did an amazing, kept me from the coldness, winds, and wetness from the rain and snow. I was warm and to a point, I was sweating. I never had this experience with other parkas that I purchased before. So, this is definitely a thumbs up gear that you should go for it if you live in a cold place. I am from Brooklyn, NY. The winter weather here is averagely 20F - 30F, so this parka will definitely keep me warm enough! I received many compliments about this parka from my families and friends. So, I highly recommend this parka and you will love it! The parka was money well-spent! P.S. => Since North face has many similar styles, make sure you look for this parka with GOOSE DOWN. Dont get the wrong one! Enjoy!

Warm and comfortable but rather heavy.

Good buy

Feels very warm and stylish. Perfect for cold winters
