Customer Reviews The North Face Stretch Down Parka

Beautiful color and v warm! Purchased as a gift for my mom and she loves the lightweight but warm construction for everyday use in northern winters

Love the jacket but I should have bought a size larger. My mistake and I have returned it.

It's a beautiful coat. I only wish it didn't have a large white North Face logo on both the front and the back. Why would anyone want that on their coat?

Faithful buyer of North Face coats due to their longevity for the price! This particular coat is lightweight, just enough warmth for Houston, Texas winters. However, I expected a bit more insulation. The midsection was snug around my lower hips. I did size up for this reason based off other reviews- by doing this I had a little longer sleeve than I'd like. If the width of the coat had more room I'd buy it in every color! Since it doesn't have thickness of insulation I'm buying a second option for those crazy cold days or states.

This coat is very warm and I love the cut. . I ordered the navy and my only issue is that the logo is not visible like it is in the picture. The north face logo is iron on and the color is a darkish blue so it does not show. I'm disappointed in this because this coat was an investment for me and I would like to show it off a bit.

I am 5' 3" and my weight ranges between 142-150lbs. Judging from other reviews, I was most comfortable choosing between a Medium to Large size. Ordered a Large which definitely fits me loose, but I figured the Large was a smarter choice than the Medium, since my weight fluctuates and I would prefer the option to layer large sweaters and hoodies underneath. At my petite height, the bodice and arms are definitely on the lengthier side, but I do not feel like I'm swimming in the jacket or overwhelmed by the length. Perfect for autumn (40-55 degrees) where I live in Connecticut but not warm enough for a freezing winter day. I haven't been able to test the water resistance yet so can't speak to durability with precipitation. Jacket is cut with a slim fit. Overall, this sensible but trendy outerwear is perfect for a "cool mom" like me.

I was surprised to see the size on the tag “slim fit “ but not in the listing ? Maybe it’s there in the listing and I missed it … but it’s definitely snug in my hips with any sort of layer underneath.

I wanted this jacket to wear walking or to wear in the car as a stretchy, lightweight jacket that comes down below my hips. It is just a little too fitted for my body type and didn't stretch as much as I'd hoped. But otherwise a really nice jacket and I'm so disappointed it didn't fit.

Product is well designed and will keep me warm this winter

Great fit! Flattering! Like the length. Quality is spot on. However, not quite as warm as I thought it would be. I'm in PNW and it's still fall. Was hoping it would keep me warmer

I like the jacket but it was way too long for me. Long enough where it was looking awkward. I am 5.2 and felt that I am wearing long dress.

Second time i purchase this jacket. First time I returned it due to too many feathers coming out of it. The second jacket I received had feathers coming out too but not as much so I decided to keep it. Jacket is under a lifetime warranty so if this gets too bad I'll just get it exchanged. Jacket fits super nice and is slim fit. Not very warm I'd only wear it around 40+ degree weather.

Great jacket, I love how it is warm but not too bulky. The feather filling has poked out of the seams in a few areas which is a little dissapointing. but overall great!

I bought this coat because I needed some thing stylish and cozy. It is lightweight and comfortable, but definitely isn't the warmest especially when it comes to windchill. I do recommend this coat since I wear it so often, but my only qualm I have is that the feathers pop out of the coat very easily.

Love the fit, look, and feel. I am disappointed in the warmth. I bought it for the higher warmth rating and I would compare it to my heavy fall jacket.

I love this coat so much. It is definitely warm, comfortable and layers well. the pockets are low and phones/keys dig Into hips when you bend over.

I wear this coat to ice rinks and the length helps stay warm. The deep pockets are great for my phone and for my wallet without a risk of them falling out.

Comfortable, stylish, every day coat. Warm. Cons: a little narrow at the bottom, a little restrictive unless you unzip it from the bottom. I do miss having a button up option like my old NF parka. Also, it is already loosing some feathers. Overall, good coat.

My daily jacket for to/from work in Vermont winters. Love it! The stretch is really nice.

I love this parka because it's reliable in the winter. It keeps me warm even with just a layer of long sleeve underneath. The only negative I will say about it is that I am not happy to see feathers loosely coming out the jacket. I made this purchase late December of 2020 and have been using it casually, so I worry that the more I use this product it wouldn't last me long... but we'll see.

Not warm

Not as warm as I had hoped for, but a good transitional jacket. I add a layer underneath if I need extra warmth. Fit is great

Keeps you warm on extremely cold days. I like that the sleeves have an extra bit of stretchy material so that your wrists aren't cold and you can tuck your gloves into the sleeve. Only con is that you can't scrunch up the hood to keep it on your head during windy days.

Love this coat. Wear it daily. I have found that it retains odors a bit - have had to wash it more than a normal coat - only reason I gave 4 stars. Love everything else about it, and even warm enough on 10 degree days!

I live in Alaska and was looking for a new long winter jacket. I originally bought a large but felt like I was drowning in it. Bought a medium for a more fitted look. I can move it in just fine. My only problem with the jacket is the amount of feathers that come out. It's not as warm as I was hoping but it works.
