Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka II

--

Bought for my 6 foot daughter to wear while abroad in Europe this winter. The coat is nice and long even on her tall frame. She loves the coat but it's too short in the sleeves and doesn't leave much room for wearing with a sweater under the coat. Needed to reorder a size up from her usual size. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the larger size. Should be perfect for her needs this winter!

Just bought this coat today and it is everything that I've been looking for. I do have one hesitation, and that is the way it feels when zipped all the way up. It hits just wrong under the chin. I bought a scarf, since I like the rest of the coat so much, and plan to not zip it all the way. But I'd love for the neck protection to be softer and roomier and a little higher (in case anyone reads these who designs the coats!)

The jacket was a nice fit for my girlfriend. She is 5'9 and the length of the jacket goes to the middle of her thighs. Her sleves felt short when she stretch her arms out. The feel wearing it was 8/10. The pockets side pockets dont feel casual but a bit akward to rest your hands in which is important when you use the jacket a lot during long winters.

I really like the jacket iteself but it was far too big so I have to get a different size. According to my measurements it said I was a large - 70kg, 170cm height, bust size 10F AUSTRALIA, the coat was swimming on me. I'm not sure even a medium will be too big and I have to go via online due to not being in Australia

Very stylish and light wait! Perfect for cold weather living

Bought to use next year in college.

I like to style and fit but looks too long on me.

I loved the Women's Arctic Down Parka so much that I purchased it for the third time. This time I purchased the Juniper Teal. I absolutely love the color. The color looked exactly the way it did on-line. The only disappointment I have is that there are only 3 pockets (two hand pockets and one inside pocket). The two hand pockets are hard to get your hand in and out of without your hand getting caught on the zippers. In addition, they took away the two outside chest pockets (bummer) and the hood looks great however, it allows the wind to come in on the sides. Otherwise, I would have given this Parka a 5 star rating.

I really wanted to love this coat. It is replacing another long coat I have that I love. The only thing is it is too big in length and arms so I have to return it.

I use this when walking my dog in cold Pa weather. It is nice and comfy and warm

The coat was not too warm when I put it on and walked through a long building to the parking lot. It seemed perfectly windproof in Minnesota winter.

Looks nice and warm but would have been nice to have a way to synch in the waist. The zipper is poorly made

Warm, stylish, and waterproof. Great pocket depth; I don't like to carry a bag. Hood is on the small side.

I bought this to have a good long warm winter coat. It's perfect for that and I got it on sale so it was worth the price for me

RUNS WAY TOO SMALL GOT XL FIT LIKE A MEDIUM . USED SIZE GUIDE PROVIDED- NOT FOR NORMAL SIZED PEOPLE . SEEMED TO BE VERY WARM. LIKED THE WAY IT LOOKED.

I will predominately use this jacket for sub zero temps during everyday activities, ie going to work, just to/from places. I hate being cold & after wearing my husband's North Face for several years decided it would be nice to have a jacket that fits my body shape.

I love the length. It's super comfortable and warm. I wish it was a little larger in the chest area. The hood is fuzzy and nice.

Everyday coat. Warm and nice coat. Just runs a bit small.

I just got this coat after many days of searching for a quality warm, water resistant coat. It is all of that plus much more. We live in an area where the wind chill is biting cold with snow (MI) and I am kept toasty warm in this coat. I am 5'6", 140 lbs and small framed. I ordered up a size to a Large after reading it ran small, and it does run small! The coat fits snug with an polar fleece jacket underneath and the sleeves are about two inches too short. I am keeping the coat but am going to have to do something about the short sleeves, my wrists are exposed between my gloves and the storm sleeves and just stinks on this Northface.

I bought this coat for the winter season in Seattle and I love it. Perfect for the rainy cold winter. I am 5'4 115 lbs, I purchased the olive color in XS which is my normal size but was a tad bit short in the arms. It was also a little snug, I would definitely suggest to order a size up especially if you plan on wearing sweaters underneath.

I've used this jacket on my snowshoeing trips, my only issue is that when I get too warm and want to remove a layer I can't pack this away without using all of my pack space. That being said I still love it and will still wear it on my trips.

I love this coat. I even bought for my mom and sister. Worth spend money on it. I love north face and its outerwear products are addictive.
