Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka II

The jacket I was looking to cover cold winter in Northeastern US. Super warm insulation, and water/snow proof tough outer shell, and good color combination. I originally chose white one, in person the forest green one was better with different fur of detachable cap. Thick and warm cold weather jacket with good fit and design so you don't look to chunky. with just tshirt you can swing 30 degrees, under 30 you need some layering inside.

Jacket is really warm and seems water resistant. Great for outdoor adventures but nice enough to wear out too. It would be great if the sleeves were just a bit longer, as the fit seems a bit tight in the shoulders. I tried on a medium however, and the jacket looked too bulky, so I kept the small.

I love this coat. I am 5'2 and 135 lbs. I ordered a M but it was way too big so I ended up exchanging to a S that fits great!

One of the snaps came off the first week but there are sending me out a new one

i had to exchange the small to an x-small because the size small looked so big on me-- i am petite ~100 lbs, 5'1. it hasn't been cold enough to wear it yet, but i'm hoping it gets me through the bad winters we get in new england

I planned to use this for my 45 minute walk home from work and/or dog walking. However, as I am 5ft and 125 lbs, this did not fit me because it is not sized for a petite frame -- the armholes are too low, shoulders too high, waist to armpit too long, and sleeves too long. Other than that, I loved it and would have kept it. Large hood detachable hood, smartphone pocket and inner sleeve were my favorite features.

Wind-proof, very warm! Great color.

Great style for young and older women alike

Have not worn the coat in extreme cold yet but is very lightweight and seems warm.

Really like coat, good fit, my husband likes it on me!!

I live in Indiana and so far this season it hasn't really been that cold so I haven't been able to test it out that well. The only bad thing I have to say about this coat so far is that it runs a little small. I ordered a small originally because that is what my other north face coat is and it was plenty big, but this coat is small in the shoulder/ back area.

Overall this is a great coat for windy, cold and snowy days in Alaska. I love the length. However, XXL is too big overall & XL is too tight in the chest. I'm 5'7 & 190 pounds. I usually wear an XL & think a 1X would have fit me well.

I love this coat, it's great for everyday wear. Biggest issue is the color is lighter and different that it appears online.

Love it. Just what I need for my trip to NYC. Right fit - I am 5.5" and 130 lbs, ordered M. So warm and cozy! 4 stars is only because I thought looking at the picture the fur trim is grey. It is black on black and logo embroidery is lost too being done in black as well.

I wear this for colder weather with sweaters and fits well over sweaters

I like the fit. It is made for someone that is not built like a stick figure (that has no hips). I am 5'4", 122 lbs and most Northface products are too tight in the hips for me. This has a nice fit. I feel it is a true medium.

Got it for my daughter who lives in Montana. Great for keeping warm in super cold weather!

I wanted to keep this coat but it made me look like a small hippo. I am 5'1" and slim and the shape was not very flattering. I also thought that the wind would whip right up me since the bottom was so flared. I returned it. Also totally lost under the hood - no matter what I cinched, I couldn't see out of it.

Bought this gift for my wife did over night delivery and it came real quick I was impress and the best part my wife loved it...

I bought this jacket, for an upcoming trip to Colorado. I am from California, so the weather isn't too cold, but I'm expecting snow and cold temperatures during our trip. I haven't had a chance to test it out in the extreme cold, but I did try on the jacket and it seems like it will keep me warm enough. I could feel the warmth being held in. There is also enough room for me to layer a sweater or fleece jacket underneath. I'm hoping it does the trick in Colorado temperatures.

This Parka is the perfect length. It hits just above the knee. It is classy and stylish, yet warm and functional! The Faux Fir around the hood dresses it up and makes the Parka look fantastic. I was looking for a Parka that was warm and functional for work, but yet makes the tranistion for a night out with family or friends. This does the job!

I find all North Face to run small. This is no exception. Once you get past the sticker size, this is a great coat. Keeps you warm and dry. The style is classic so it will last for years to come.

It hasn't been cold enough to test this jacket out, but it is comfortable, attractive, and stylish. Hopefully it will be as warm as I anticipate it being and will last as long as my other North Face jackets (10+yrs!).

Bought as guft

Super warm in the wind!
