Customer Reviews The North Face Defdown Parka GTX

Perfect use under cold and windy weather. The coat was stylish which makes you look slim, my wife love it so much!

Bought small which I normally wear, buy it was too large. XS fits me for this jacket.

The sleeves double as mittens and in addition, the hood is so pretty and very warm.

excellent wind and waterproof...i walked 5 miles in a 18F with rain and i was warm and dry!

Great coat - I am glad I went with it! it is so comfortable.

I use this jacket to commute to work everyday in Chicago and it holds up against the weather wonderfully! It's very warm and holds strong against the cold wind. I would definitely recommend this jacket to anyone interested!

I train my dogs to track and we track no matter the weather. This is the warmest coat I have ever owned. I haven't used it in wet weather yet but given the quality and material I expect it to do well.

Every day

I wear this jacket all winter. I am a teacher and it is great for recess duty!!!!!

Love love love this jacket. Years of buying cheaper jackets and having them last one to two seasons and finally decided to invest in a quality winter coat. I am a sucker for a fur hood and this one is so cute and is not too big which means I can still see when I put it up. Side zips are so nice if I need a little more mobility when moving around. This is a big coat and fairly hefty, but so warm and worth the size!

Every day wear for NYC winter

I bought this parka for a trip to Iceland in March and it's just perfect! I will get a lot of use out of it otherwise too, here on the US West coast with temps that go down to the 20's. While we don't have the super cold weather of some places in the Northeast or upper Midwest, it's a wet cold here that chills to the bone, often times with rain and wind. This parka is warm with room for layers if/as needed, looks stylish and not bulky, and in general fits very well. I am 5'4", 115 lbs and have a size small. I love the urban navy color too; some navys I've seen out there are almost black, but this one is what I could call a true navy. You can tell that it is blue. The zippers work fine, as they should; and I really like the inner sleeve that can extend into a hand warmer. It's a nice add-on and it feels fine to me when it's in the sleeve and I don't have it pulled down over my hand. The magnetic "snaps" are also a great feature; I like that I can put the coat on, and very quickly and easily close it without using the zipper if I want to. I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase!

Great jacket! Keeping me warm throughout Chicago winter!

Love the coat

I would highly recommend this beautiful parka! It is great quality, nice weight, long sleeves and looks amazing. I like the magnetic snap front as well. Thank you North Face for creating this jacket!

Exactly what I've been looking for! MN & ND winter approved. For reference I'm 5'6" 120lb, small fit perfectly. Able to wear sweatshirt comfortably under the jacket.

This is the best coat I've ever purchased. It's so warm. The sleeves have the extra fabric to act as hand covers to protect your hands in harsh weather. I really love this coat & plan to wear it everyday of the winter. I'm 5'6" & I weigh 166Ibs & I bought a Large. I hope this helps someone

I love this jacket and I know that I will be using it so much this winter. I also really love that it has magnets so that it covers that zipper. I am so happy with my purchase and I recommend this coat to everyone!

Love at first try. Fits perfectly for my 5'2" height.I wish it had more from pockets though.

Everyday wear once weather get a little more colder. Seems very warm. Very comfortable.

This coat is incredibly warm without being bulky and unflattering. I am 5'10" 150lbs and I ordered a medium. Felt spot on.

Fell in love with this coat after trying it on in the store - especially the magnetic storm flap that help the storm flap "zip" right up. It will be such a small lifesaver during the cold months when trying to get ready.

It's good looking and super warm!

I just received this product but so far I love everything about it. It is a flattering shape and doesn't look like a comforter. It's fitted around the wrist which keeps wind out. I'm 5'7" so the length is perfect. It hits above my knee and the zippers on the sides allow for easier walking while still providing warmth to lower half.

Really great fit, stylish, and warm!
