Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka

Great coat for Wisconsin winters.

Ordered a Large top too big bottom snug. Finger loops on hands too short coat arm length too long.

This parka kept me warm all over during a cold snap in SW PA. Temps in the 20s with a wind chill feel in the lower teens. I was hesitant to buy it, because of the cost, but it's been worth every penny.

My wife loves it, perfect gift for the holidays.

I had such high hopes for this coat. It had all the features I wanted and loved the color. After reading all of the reviews, I was thrilled to order it. It disappointed me in multiple ways.... 1) Not warm at all. I don't know why people think it's super warm but I was in 20-25 degree weather the last 2 days and it did nothing for me. Jacket feels thin and rather boxy shaped. 2) The most annoying part is the double zipper splits open every time you bend down, which also allows wind to coming whipping through so not ideal at all. Super annoyed. Will be returning. My bf's puffer jacket from North Face is WAY better than this. And it's a few years old... seems like they are cutting corners on quality now while still charging premium prices.

This coat is sooo incredibly warm! It fits true to size, but personally I would have liked a fitted coat that was a 700. The flaps on the side pockets are strange, almost as though they are backwards to how your hands would naturally want to slide into the pockets. Shipping took longer than I expected, but I got exactly what I ordered.

I have been looking to invest in a warm, good looking parka that doesn't totally break the bank, but staying warm might have no cost. This met all of my expectations. I live in Cleveland and it was 22 degrees this morning, but the wind was awful. I wore a t shirt underneath and I was warm! I am also on a beta blocker so keeping warm is really hard for me. this coat is awesome, thanks for helping me!

Purchased in October and finally wore in December with a lightweight turtleneck and was toasty in 26F windy weather. It is well-made and functional. 5'2" 137lbs ordered M for layering room.

I had on a lightweight turtleneck with no extra layers and I felt completely toasty outside in 26F weather. This is a great coat, not too heavy, and very warm while being easy to move around in. I love the knit cuffs to block wind, and the snaps to button if I don't need to zip up. I am 5'2", 137lbs, and ordered a Medium to allow extra room for thick sweaters. The only downside is that the sleeves are about an inch too long but it is not a dealbreaker. A little pricey but so far it is worth the investment.

I love this coat. It's very warm even in weather as low as the teens. It hasn't been colder than that to try. The fit is true to size. My only drawback is I wish the hood was adjustable. The wind blows it down sometimes. This has nothing to do with the coat itself, but I was very disappointed when I saw that this coat was marked down by 30% on Cyber Monday! Lesson learned!

ALL I CAN SAY BUY THIS COAT, ITS VERY WARM THE QUALITY AND LENGTH IS PERFECT. THIS COAT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU. I HAD THIS COAT FOR OVER 6 YEARS IN GREY AND MY COAT STILL LOOK NEW AS IF I BOUGHT IT TODAY. THIS COAT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. GET THIS COAT !!!!

I have a grey & black one! Size up if you like to layer your clothes. Very warm and great quality .

Just great for the northern winter!

I have had mine for several years and aside from the white eventually needing tto be replaced I adore the jacket

The coat serves its purpose to keep me warm. The color is also very pretty.

Very disappointed in this jacket. It's not warm at all. I wore three shirt layers and two pant layers and my arms and legs were cold and I could feel cold air coming through in 25 degrees weather.

I just purchased this parka I time for the cold to hit the north east. It was exactly what I looking for in the length and warmth. Only complaint sizing was way off!!! order up!!!!!

I would highly recommend it for extremely cold weather!

Love the color, warm but sleeves are short. I would buy again but maybe a size larger for longer sleeves

Great color, warm and comfortable

Love the style of this jacket but find the arms to be really oversized. Think I might try the XXS.

So far I am loving this coat, it has kept me warm. The hood is perfect for the windy days out on a field. I would consider buying a second for personal use instead of just work.

I love this coat! On the coldest days I don't feel anything, it's so stylish and comfortable!

The product is amazing and keeps me warm

The feather on the jacket on the shoulder area moved and now I get cold on my shoulder bc there is no material to keep me warm there. The jacket is not that old. Other than that I loved it, I'm just a little disappointed that now I need to put an extra layers under so my shoulder doesn't get cold
