Customer Reviews The North Face Acropolis Parka

Exactly what I needed

Love this jacket, the longer length is amazing and just what i was looking for. I'm 5' 4" 150lbs curvy top (34D) and bottom (size 8) and the Medium fits perfectly. Not tight at the bottom and feels comfortable across shoulders. I'm super happy with this coat, I think it will be great for cold MI winters. I have noticed a bit of tiny down feathers coming out onto my car seat while wearing the coat while driving. Not a big issue, hoping it will stop soon as the coat is just a couple weeks old.

Order this particular jacket for warmth on walks and general light use. I've had it for a few days- wore it twice. The feathers are coming through seams and fabric. I have had a Canada Goose for years and never one feather issue- machines washed it many times even. The CG has the same kind of fabric and fill. Its is a light weight version of this NF. This many feathers coming through right out of the box is crazy. I look like I'm wearing A 10 year old jacket :(. It's to bad cause it's a great length and fill for what I need it for. Runs big and isn't the most flattery cut. But very practical and warm.

I love this coat for the Midwest winter, however, right after getting it, I took my son to his baseball lesson and sat in a chair that had no visible defects, and the coat caught on the chair and ripped when I got up, right near the butt area, so now it is losing feathers everywhere I go. I tried to awkwardly sew it up but the material doesn't really hold thread to cover a hole. Trying to decide what to do next, like a patch? but the it will be awkward because then there's a patch on my rear end. I love the coat but with it being this delicate to rip, I'm not sure how this would be to wear as a rugged, outdoor jacket, if it couldn't make it through a week of normal life. In the meantime, I leave feathers stuck to the seat of the car and floating around my home and workplace.

Absolutely love this parka! I wore it on our trip to Colorado and it kept me warm the entire time. I am 5'5, 145lbs and purchased a medium. I think a small would actually be a better fit as the medium doesn't have that fitted look and is a little long, but I love the extra room I have for layering. The only thing I would change is the zipper. It gets stuck often and its a constant struggle when needing to zip the jacket.

I have been looking for a jacket that fits well without being"baggy" in the back! I have an hourglass figure and most longer jacket are either too tight around my hips or too loose around the waist area. This jacket fits amazing with the waist drawstring!! I usually take medium but sized down to a small as per reviews and it fits perfect! For reference I am usually a size 6-8 bottom and size small in tops. I'm 5'4"and it goes down to my knees. Jacket is lightweight and seems warm!

I love the color, fit, and style

I teach ice skating and it is extremely cold, like working in a refrigerator! I needed a grey jacket that's warm and light wieght to move around in. This is the perfect jacket!

Giving 5 star rating because coat is beautiful, but it is too big. I usually wear a small (sometimes medium) in other coat brands, but this small is not very fitted. I could wear another winter coat underneath it. Going to try the XS.

I bought this coat in the fall of 2020. It fits well and overall an excellent coat. I had another long down feather coat that I had for about 8 years from The North Face that I loved but needed an update. 7 months after buying this coat with normal use, the zipper stops working. I call in for the warranty and their policy is they will replace the zipper if I send it in and I won't get it back for 4-6 weeks. Alternatively I can go to The North Face store and they will also send it to have zipper replaced with wait time of 4-6 weeks. I'm disappointed that at this price point the zipper would break and also that I have to go through the trouble of sending it in and waiting 4-6 weeks! Planning a trip to Iceland this summer and concerned I won't have the jacket by the time of my trip. Very disappointed.

I like it, very warm coat

I’m 5’3 about 125 petite build.. love the fit size S! The drawstring waist does not pull super tight but I didn’t want it too anyway. I could wear probably one thick layer underneath with this size. The hood is awesome! Overall great coat and nice and warm for Midwest winters!

I get soo many compliments. It fits me perfectly. I'm sooo I love with this jacket

Love how comfortable and warm this coat is, especially for our Michigan winters.

Love

This came in handy for the snowstorm in Dallas recently. I love the color and style! I would have liked for it to cinch in more at the waist but I thought it was true to size with enough room for another lighter jacket or sweater underneath. Overall very happy to have purchased this coat!

Great for hiking or city walks in the snow

I like this jacket a lot. Warm but lightweight. Love it. Washed well too. Thinking it will hold up for some time. Worth the money if you are thinking of buying.

Love my jacket! I saw this on sale in store 2 yrs ago, I wanted the white but they only had black in my size. I decided to find it online, but it was for original price. I watched and waited for it to go on sale - finally I have it and it was worth the long wait! Perfect fit and classic style!

Great for when ur not driving

Great fit and very warm.

I wear this everyday for errands and long walks. It is lightweight but warm. I have washed it twice and it looks like new.

One of my favorite styles!! Long and warm! Light weight and room to move!

I wear my NF coat pretty much daily, stylish and cozy plus very warm! Fit is perfect!

super warm and very nice looking. fit well.
