Customer Reviews The North Face Defdown Parka GTX

Everyday life in Michigan

Its a light weight jacket that is going to keep you warm during the harsh weather of new york. Movement in it so easy and smooth.

It's a bit hard to zip up because the coat it's so long. But love the length as it keeps everything warm. Lightweight and comfortable. Great purchase.

I love how soft this coat is, it doesn't feel bulky or rough. It feels like I'm wearing a bed comforter. It's very stylish and warm. I like how the sleeves are a little longer which allows arm movements without being constricted. I like this coat a lot and wouldn't mind owning another one.

I love this coat! It is so fashionable and super warm. The fur is so soft and stylish!

This coat is awesome! i initially ordered a 2XL, I typically wear a size 16 and have a large bust. I had to return it for an XL. I've wear this for outdoor activities with the kids and remained warm.

I love that this jacket isn't shiny or look like a trash bag like so many waterproof or down jackets. Super comfortable and warm. Love the magnetic double closures - no more Velcro snags in my sweaters or tights!

I live in Minnesota where winters are cold and windy! This coat is super warm and comfortable and I love the length and fit. The pockets are deep and the zippers on the side help when you're sitting down/driving. Very high quality and worth the price. Love it.

This jacket is perfect for the cold weather in MI

Finally I found the jacket that suit what I like. No need for hat and mittens.. Perfect for cold weather.

Cold weather

Really great coat! Living in Michigan isn't easy and this coat is a life saver. Nice and cozy!

I live in the city and commute to work by walking/train. This coat keeps me warm on the coldest days! Super cute and I love the Navy color. Only thing is that the sleeves feel a little long, but there's plenty of room in the sleeve to layer a sweater which is a nice bonus.

I was eyeing this jacket for quite a while, but At $450, this jacket was way beyond my budget. When it went on sale, it was still a stretch but I ordered it anyway. Finding something warm has always been a challenge. I was concerned I would look like a snowman in it but I was pleasantly surprised at how flattering the fit is. I love the styling with the side vents and the tapered length to the back. One of the things I like about The North Face is the series of questions they put you through to determine your size. I've found it to be quite accurate. I just received the jacket today so I haven't put it to the test, but as soon as I put it on in the house I got pretty hot, so I know it will be warm outside. I couldn't check off all the pros because I haven't worn it yet. Great purchase!

I've been wanting a olive green parka for a long time. Fits great love the color! It is true to size. Can't wait to wear it in harsh snowy conditions!

Everything looks good And reliable in cold weather

I was looking for a coat that was super warm, did not have a bulky oversized fit, and covered to just below my thighs. This coat meets all my requirements. It is not super lightweight, but not heavy either. As Goldilocks would say... just right.

I coach a Spring Sport, which sometimes means I am outside in 20's and 30's for 6 hours at a time. This parka ensured that I will NOT be cold. I love the zippers on the bottom, so that I am comfortable while traveling.

This is the warmest jacket I have ever worn. Doesn't even come close to other competitive brands. Very stylish, and I have gotten so many compliments on the hood.

I have 5'2" and this parka hits me at the knees. I love the high-low hem. I have struggled to find a parka that didn't absolutely swallow me or restrict my stride. The zipper adjustments at the hem allow me to zip up the coat but still have leg mobility. The convertible mitten sleeve is a life saver. I tend to forget/lose my gloves. Having the mitten sleeves attached is the nicest touch. The large pockets allow me to go without a purse. The Gore-tex shell help with wind and rain. I live in a town where winters are nothing but brutal winds and showers. When rainy, I remove the fur lining on the hood. The fur is a stylish touch when not raining.

I live in Chicago it gets cold & windy, My parka is super warm. The only con and it's really not a con. It has to be COLD outside or the jacket is to warm. I don't need layers. I would buy again.But I know I'll have this one for many years! Love it!

This coat keeps me warm. The pockets are deep, which is nice, so I won't loose a glove! I really like the the side zips and the magnetic closure over the front zipper is practically automatic!

the zippers on the legs make it so comfortable to wear in the car. It is a big coat but it's also lightweight.

I wanted a longer length warm winter parka,not something I needed to layer. I wanted it to be urban professional. I live in Vermont,so whether I was running errands in tights or dress slacks,I was stylish but warm and functional. This parka would be great also for walking the dog in the snow on a cold day. So pleased my daughter purchased this for me for Christmas!! So it was a gift!

Great parka! I was debating between this one and other brands which were a few hundred bucks more. After trying everything on, I could not resist but go with this one. It's very stylish and not bulky despite its warmth. This could go with both casual and bit formal wear without looking like a ball of sleeping bag walking arouns.
