Customer Reviews The North Face McMurdo Parka III

my son attends SUNY Oneonta. We purchased a parka for him from a dept store and it did not last a semester. We then decided to go with North Face and he loves the quality and features of the coat. I can't stress enough how the quality is above the expectation.

Perfect for Minnesota winter!

North face is always top quality

I use it for work so I don't freeze

This is a great cold weather coat. Very comfortable!

Slightly oversized in the best way. Super lightweight. Very warm. Fashionable!

Really like the look and the pockets are really practical. Has more of that bigger "parka" type fit meaning not as tailored but overall very warm and looks really good when trying it on.

Perfect coat for wet snowy/ rainy days in Boston.

Really good product, I like it so much, it a nice gift for Chinese New Year! Stay nice and warm! For all the northern people in the world!

Just go and buy wherever you want from the north face, the cool.

This is a great daily wear parka that is breathable while still warm. I'm always overheating when I bundle up so tend to wear more layers rather than a heavy coat to keep warm-this parka is the best of both worlds!

I am 5'6" 160lbs. I'm not an avid athlete, but am not out-of-shape. The Small North Face Outer Boroughs jacket (standard fit) was way too tight around my chest, restricting breathing and movement. The medium was huge. This jacket (relaxed fit), in small, first beautifully. It is still form fitting, but not overly restricting. The jacket is beautiful, seems very well made, is easy to get on and off, and is very warm. There are side pockets in addition to the front pockets (which are much smaller than you would think). The length is great, and the hood with faux fur is deceivingly warm. Overall, I no longer dread putting on a jacket when it is cold. outside.

Jacket is amazing and have nothing bad to say about it besides it's a size bigger but still ok, usually I wear medium so ordered medium but thinking should've ordered small.

I absolutely love this jacket. -Fit wise, it's snug where you want it to be in order to avoid any chilly wind, and more articulate without looking baggy in areas such as the arms and shoulders. My ONLY complaint about this jacket is the sleeve length. This may be personal preference but I prefer when sleeves run just a little past the wrist so that when you tighten them with velcro and you need to do any reaching or anything that the sleeve doesn't run up your arm, thankfully this jacket doesn't have that issue nearly as much as some other jackets I've tried on do. I don't believe this was a size issue either, I tried both the Large and X-Large sizes and they seemed to have the exact same sleeve length, however the XL was way too baggy on me. (For fit reference, I'm 6'4 and weigh about 215, mostly skinny fat) - Style wise, it's great. The Khaki is an excellent color, there's a lot of useful pockets on it, and I've gotten a ton of compliments on the jacket. - When to wear - I live in Chicago and have been wearing this during a week of cold rain in temps of around 25-35, and I've been completely content throwing this coat on over just a t-shirt. The dryvent tech coupled with the shaping of the hood and the clips and zipper up to the neck do a great job of keeping rain and wet snow off of you almost entirely.

Feels like infrared heat covers your body. The hood is great - stays up without blinding you (adjustable) and is very warm. Good selection of pockets velcro and zipped. I think it is the warmest coat I have had in 50+ years.

Great fit, very very warm

Good jacket for winter!

This jacket solves most/all COLD winter problems! It is very warm and somewhat heavy/bulky. My personal opinion, I only use it for weather under 30F. I really like it, only complaint is that there is no elastic band to tighten the waist but, it is much longer than typical jacket.

I would like to order it again

Love this parka, looks great and is really warm. I looked at 5-6 different name brands and none fit the all around options and price point.

The way I use this product is that since it's winter time, I thought it'll be best to invest in a winter jacket. I chose North Face because y'all company never did me wrong. When I tried it on, it fit like I hoped it would. It's big enough so it'll be warm during freezing weather but it has a stylish/slim fit to it.

Super warm! Don't even need a sweater to go under it! Chest pockets should be slightly larger, but perfect other than that.

really keeps me warm

It is a nice parka, warm and decent pockets. Zipper could be a bit beefier for a parka.

Love the warmth it provides, its style and the fit.
