Customer Reviews The North Face Defdown Parka GTX

I bought this for Northern Minnesota winters. The hood is great on windy days by Lake Superior! I love the magnets that close the front, along with the zipper. The finishing touches around the wrists are so comfortable. The side zips work great when hopping in my suv and doesn't restrict me while driving. We have had days in the lower teens with strong lake winds and I have been warm and toasty....this parka has become my favorite! Nice job to the crew who designed this, Lor

This coat is the warmest winter coat I have found while not being too bulky! Love this one

This parka is perfect for a walk when it's too cold without losing the style.

This parka looks great, fits very nicely and was surprisingly lighter than it looks. For reference, I am 5'5 122lbs with an athletic body and bought a size Small and it leaves ample room to layer for winter. The black colour is actually a bit textured which is nice. I like the simplicity of the parka but yet still feel stylish in it. This can be worn with jeans or work wear. There is a neat little zippered pocket at the left elbow, on the outside of your coat, to insert a card. I have not worn it yet in sub-freezing temperatures but hoping it will hold up in Toronto winter. Very happy with the purchase.

Love this coat for the coldest days of winter. The hood Iis key to protect against the wind and elements. Please bring back the color red so I can get it!!

Jacket is really nice. Very well made and warm. The size chart instructed that i by a medium but it ended up being slightly to big. Small fit perfectly.

I am 6 feet tall and normally I can not find a coat with sleeves long enough but these sleeves are perfect!! The only negative comment I have about this coat is that the fur on my black coat has a purple cast when in daylight.

This parka is beautiful, extremely functional and stylish! It is slimming and can be worn out in the evening or casually during the day. The layers are fitted but not too tight, and the hood is absolutely gorgeous! I feel like this is the perfect coat for either cold winter days or for warmer outings because it is so breathable. I recommend this coat wholeheartedly. It is worth every penn! I am a professional and have to look polished. This coat is the best choice for a career person!

Fantastic product....extra warm and a lifetime warranty

I have been a big fan of the puffer jacket for years because they are warm and lightweight. This jacket has opened my mind! It's warmer than my old jacket and just as lightweight. It's also soft, cozy and comfortable. The fit is perfect and it's much more flattering than some of the newer puffy coats. The magnetic closures are super easy to maneuver.

This cloth is so amazing! I never wear a big coat with light weight, and it is waterproof which can be also wear in wet weather. I really love it!

I love this coat, its very warm and great for the Michigan cold weather we are having

great coat all the way around

Just moved to CO and needed a coat to get me through the winters and frequent trips to the mountains. When I put this coat on, I feel invincible! It is highly effective in blocking out the cold and the hood with fur lining keeps the snow off my face. The roomy pockets are great for tucking away hats/gloves, and the side zips and dual front zipper are helpful for added mobility. The magnetic snaps are key - they're really strong and most of the time I don't even need to zip up, I can just use the snaps and feel secure. The coat is a little bulky (as to be expected), so definitely not my everyday coat but perfect for the freezing mornings and super cold days. One recommendation to improve the coat would be to add thumb holes to the "mittens".

Totally recommended this jacket for extreme weather! I wore this to Alaska and it kept me warm at the -5F weather! Very stylish and I love it!

This coat is very warm and comfortable. Side bottom zippers for when you are sitting make it even more comfortable

this will be great for those cold January days in Wisconsin

Stylish warm light and fantastic magnets instead of buttons!

Best product best price

I purchased the extra small but gave it to my daughter and purchased a small for me. I like it more roomie so I can wear a sweater or layer.

Beautiful coat! I'm so happy with it. Warm and stylish!

I love this jacket! It's so warm and "bomb-proof." I wanted the warmest jacket I could find to wear to outdoor football games in Idaho, but have found myself wearing it to the grocery store or nights out...anywhere. I love the metallic buttons-because if my hands are cold I don't have to bother buttoning-up. I also love the thigh zippers that give me more room when I sit down...however, I can sit down just fine with them zipped, but at least it's an option. Well-thought out jacket!

Really wanted the red, but it was out of stock...so ordered the Urban Navy. Great color LOVE it! The coat itself is warm, not too heavy for a heavy duty coat. I am 5'1" and it hits my knees...YAY! Just what I was looking for to replace a 30 year old down coat that I loved. The hood is right on...doesn't flop over my eyes. The sleeves are long, but I like that as my hands stay warm. Not a bit fan of the mitten cuffs, would prefer regular snug cuffs, but you can fold them up and they keep the wind from going up the arms. All in all LOVE this coat.

THIS COAT IS VERY WARM AND STYLISH.

I bought this coat for a trip to Minneapolis and it was the best decision! I wore this in -2 degree weather and I was so warm! Great product!
