Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Awesome coat that keeps you very warm! Note that that it does run a bit short. I am 5 feet 9 inches and exchanged for a bigger size to get a bit more length.

coat is all around a fun coat

What I like about the jacket is that it is warm but also light. Don't feel like I am wearing such a big coat

I use it for the fall/start of winter weather. It's perfect and warm. I would like it better if it was longer but overall im satisfied with it.

Love that this style is back. I've been looking for it at NF for years! My "old" NF one is an avocado and lt green one from about 20 years ago that I could never part with. Love that I can get this style in an updated color finally. I have curves and I'm short. The figure hugging coats NEVER flatter me. This one is wonderful. I can fit a sweatshirt under it. But it doesn't require one for warmth. Can't speak to it being waterproof... yet. I'm thrilled with it! Can't recommend it enough for being outside in winter in the Midwest.

I really love this product so much but I will be exchanging it for a different colour. I purchased the yellow I was so excited for it but when it came in I was disappointed with how much you can see the down feathers, its dark feathers so I don't understand why it wouldn't be thicker or a darker yellow shown in the picture. Sadly i''ll be exchanging it for black which will still be nice since I love this jacket so much but I wanted to be different and have that beautiful yellow without the see through fabric.

I was waiting on the blue color way to drop, and I got it as a birthday gift. I love it it's so comfortable, can't wait till it's colder here to wear it.

Great jacket. Warm and not heavy. But too puffy. Make me look like a bear. Had to return for that reason.

I love how this jacket looks and always love a good chunky down. It's extremely warm, a bit on the heavier side. I like shorter jackets, it could be a bit longer. Overall, great coat.

Cute coat. Haven't worn it out in the cold yet though. Super lightweight

I use this when it gets the coldest to keep me warm

Great jacket! Keeps me warm and it's really cute. I like the more cropped fit because I can wear it with casual clothing and skirts without it looking overwhelming. I found it to be true to size, although on the shorter side. Definitely room for a thicker layer underneath too! Definitely a must-have!

5'9"--Med fit perfectly, great style, super cozy and warm. Perfect for fall in Connecticut!

This jacket is so cute and super comfy. I am very top-heavy and this jacket did not squish my chest like other jackets typically do. The jacket is relaxed fit so I was able to get my regular size vs. going a size up because I need extra room for thick sweaters and hoodies. I was so happy with my purchase I decided to buy another Nuptse jacket but this time in the hero purple color.

The product image does not match the coat you are sent for the Heather grey. The image shows a black interior and zipper, but the real product has a terribly-unmatched-to-the-material grey zipper and a light grey almost white interior. Aesthetically it makes a significant difference in my opinion, not to mention the lighter interior will show more dirt and stains. A very annoying inconvenience to have.

This jacket is everything I was looking for. It keeps me warm and its so comfortable and lightweight! Its my favorite. BUT I don't care what the labels on the jacket say, do not wash it. Your lovely jacket will be ruined.

This coat is so cute. It's stylish and very warm. I tried this on with a tank top and I started to sweat, that's how warm this coat is. You have to get this also the hood is in the collars of the coat so you don't have to physically take off the hood. And if you have long arms like me this is perfect for you.

I'm 6"0 with an athletic build and I love this jacket. It's oversized and very puffy, but is super cute when you cinch the waist and wear with tight athletic pants. The only feedback I would give is that the hood that ticks away is attached with Velcro and catch on long hair. Other than that it's a warm option for the oversized puffy look!

A beautifully warm jacket for those of us that live in harsh winters. I am 5'7, 132 lbs and have a 36" bust. I can layer anything under it. It's extremely warm so having layers helps to maintain comfort. My only complaint would be that the hood is only a shell. I have the original NUPTSE and it's hood is fully insulated. Too bad they skimped on that.

I really looked at reviews for this jacket. It is very stylish. I wanted a jacket that was cropped and this one is. However, I am short waisted with longer legs so on me, this jacket if worn normally does not sit at the waist. It sits below the waist where it feels odd because the bottom of the jacket is snug. I can sort of pull back the shoulders and pull down on the sleeves to raise the jacket higher on me so it will be at the waist and then it feels better and looks better. I am 5'5 and not short at all and the medium size it definitely roomy. So if you are looking for a truly cropped jacket but you are shorter waisted, this probably won't sit at your waist, it will sit lower unless you kind of play around with it like I'm doing. I think it's nice enough so I'm gonna keep it and do that as it definitely looks good and feels warm. I also like the very long sleeves. I have very long arms and most jackets I have to really pull on them to get them down past my wrists - this one I don't have to do that.

I'm 5' 4" with a small size 2 upper body. Ordered size small. The sleeve length was very long and just too puffy in the shoulders. I know it is the look and style, but just looked awkward on me. Very sad that I had to return.

This is a warm and comfortable jacket that is stylish.

Very good quality, light weight and beautiful colors.

So warm and so light. I live where the winter days sink into the negatives so staying warm with the right gear is critical. Wearing a layering system like fleece with whatever you choose for a base layer will keep you so warm when temps hit the twenties and below. Having the layers will allow you to pair down when in the car as this jacket gets too warm to drive in for me.
