Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

I received my parka just in time. We've been getting very cold temps and the older I get the colder it gets around these holidays. I've purchase various coats and have returned them. I can say that this time Im very content with my purchase. I layer from toe to foot and I'm so warm and comfortable. My daughter has three of these coats differant colors and I always thought, " nope I'm too old for those coats" but this year my daughter talked me into making my purchase . I truly love this parka, it's roomy, warm and at 64, I look good in my Parka!!!!!

My mom live in Isreal so I bought it to surprise her when she walking early in the morning . To make sure my mother keep worm!!!

I am a traveling Healthcare Representative currently working in a suburb of West Cleveland Ohio. Never lived with "Lake Effects" Snow! This coat has kept me so warm! The best investment I have ever made! The discount for Healthcare Representatives was very much appreciated! I also love the ginger color! So original North Face!

This time around the parka is not as warm as my old one. I was a bit disappointed.

The placket covering the zipper is closed with velcro. If you have long hair, this coat will tear it out of your head, and it won't stay closed with just the velcro, it must be zipped.

Bought it for the warmth, keeps me very warm. It's out while I walk everyday and out to shop!

Love this jacket, warm and cosy and great deep hood

I love this coat but I had to exchange for sizing. The sleeves were to short and the body felt a bit tight. I have many jackets, fleece and coats from North Face and this one runs small.

I've been wearing this coat in different colors since probably 2007 or 2008. Back in the day, TNF was a different brand than it is today, but for the most part, the gear is still decent. I've owned several Arctic Parkas and while it's a great jacket - warm, water resistant, comfy etc, the fit is always an issue. I was happy to see that this year, they seem to have worked out the middle section and sleeve issues as they are more true to size than the past few years. I bought a size Large this year. The shoulders are boxy and the top is roomier than my previous XL. The pockets are smaller and oddly more up and down than the previous models more natural slide in sideways. I am not 100% sure I am keeping it. I really wish they'd stop changing the sizing and features as otherwise, its a great jacket.

I absolutely love the fit of this coat and seems like it will be extremely warm, but the Antelope Tan color is definitely more mustard yellow in person. Will return for a different color!

This jacket is so warm and cozy! I wish the hood was a bit bigger (to better fit my curly hair) but otherwise, i'm so glad I purchased it. It's a great defense against cold air. The hidden pocket inside was a great touch as well.

Bought this coat for cold weather in upper Michigan. Wore it yesterday in the snow. Weather was freezing and snow was wet. Went out to the barn to take care of my horses and did errands in town. The coat was fantastic. Waterproof and very warm. The hood fit well and didn't fall over my eyes like others have. The fabric on the outer side was very attractive with a subtle chevron pattern. I bought the blue and really love it.

As a coat

Waterproof and insulation well done, a bit too heavy and bulk but it keeps you warm

I'm 5'2 125 # on a good day. I'm short. Super hard to find a good length jacket for my short self. I love this jacket. I took off the fuzzy hood, I just personally like it without. Love that it was able to detach. My only small issue is some fabric lint like to stick to the outside.

I love this parka! It's so warm and cozy. As a teacher, perfect for recess outside in the Michigan cold.

Love it hands down would definitely recommend

Best Parka ever! This is my first winter, I didn't really know what to purchase in preparation for it. I knew from word of mouth that North Face good winter garments. When I searched it up, this was the first one that popped up. I was hesitant to purchase it because of the price tag, but I'm glad I did. This is an amazing parka. I stay comfortably cosy and warm when I am wearing it. I just throw on a long sleeve and I am set to go to. It doesn't feel too heavy, it fits perfectly. It doesn't get soaked from the snow.

Jacket came quickly after I ordered and is very comfortable and cute!! Can't say how warm it is yet since I haven't had to wear it but will update later on!!

It hasn't been cold enough here to use this jacket yet, so I can't speak to its warmth, but it looks great and has a nice interior pocket for keys/phone etc. The fur looks pretty terrible in my opinion, but it's easily removed.

Wore it today for the first time! Love it! I felt comfy and cozy as I braved the elements of our first snow of the season.

My daughter and I both have the retro puffer jacket. Very warm. We both wish the sleeves were a bit longer .

I do like this jacket, feels good quality, warm and a beautiful green color. However, it came with plaid lining that was not in the description for pictures. I'm really bummed out as I don't like the plaid. I suggest for those purchasing to check and see what type of lining it come with. I was expecting green, as the pictures shows, but that's not the case with these.

I love this coat but it does pick up a lot of lint/hair

It's beautiful and warmest, the quality it's great
