Customer Reviews The North Face McMurdo Parka III - Tall

I use it for the mountains in the winter time and also the harsh winters in the east coast, highly recommend this jacket.

I bought this for my son who wanted a puffer jacket. Would not buy one that had the parachute type outer layer. Love the quality of this jacket and so didn't my other son and husband when they saw it. Will probably buy another one next winter for them. As for my son he likes it and likes the brand name. Turned his nose up at other brands that we suggested. He really wanted one of the north face supreme collaborations but I was not able to get it on the supreme website. Sold out in less than 2 minutes I think!

Outside everyday in the woods with my dog. It's the first jacket to really keep me warm. The fur hood is a bonus. Great design NF!

This coat is light weight enough to wear in above freezing temps but zipped up and hood up and you're good to go for sub zero!

Wear everyday to work and out with friends socially.

I've always preferred a Triclimate type jacket, but wanted to try something else out. I originally purchased the XXL which fit way too large even though I wear mostly XXL sizes. I returned it and ordered the XL which fits better, a tiny bit snug, but enough room to add a layer underneath if I wanted to. I immediately went out winter hiking and the parka felt great! It was very comfortable and it was nice not to have a whole bunch of layers on. I have also been wearing it while we are in an the midst of an extreme cold weather warning, hitting -45C (-49F) with the windchill and this parka has had zero issues keeping me warm. Only con here is the zipper pull is on the right hand side of the jacket which I've never had, and it's very awkward to zip up, but I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.

Would buy it again

nice

I live in Calgary, Canada and I've been to -20C degrees and I must say that this parka is warm enough for the coldest winters. I usually wear a thin layer under this parka and I'll be fine but it highly depends on how much cold you can endure. It is also windproof and waterproof and I really like the emergency mask as I don't like to wear a scarf. The only problem is that it is bulky and makes you look big specially if you fill your pockets, though it is true to size.

No issue with zipper as other posts have stated. Because it's a parka, the zipper is longer & takes getting used to versus a short jacket.

Good product...I reccomend

Searched forever for the "best" winter jacket for my boyfriend to get through his first Boston winter. The material feels extremely sturdy and thick to prevent wind chill and he liked the long length. One very nice detail is the built in face mask, that will really come in handy.

The jacket feels good

Keeps me warm without being too heavy or bulky.

This is a great Jacket, North face always the best products

The Mcmurdo is very versatile and stylish all in one. You can wear this for dress or with your casual wear. It's lightweight while keeping it's promise of being very warm and comfortable. I would absolutely buy this coat again. I love the North Face products, they are made to last.

Great for winter tailgates.

I bought this for my husband who had taken to wearing 2 coats while walking the dogs when it was 10 degrees or colder. He loves it! He said it is the warmest coat he has ever had. He loves all the large pockets (for dog treats!) as well as the built in neck gaiter and hood. The wind resistance as well as water resistance is a blessing during storms. This is not a jacket for snowshoeing or skiing, but if you want to be warm and dry while walking around town, this is for you! The zip off hood is an added bonus!

I am 6'3 and have long arms, so i had to go up to a xxl. def looks a little to big but its so warm and my favorite coat ever.

This coat is an investment for me. I wanted a coat that that would last me a long long time and that is fashionable. Found this one and haven't looked back.

This product was strictly for use in the cold. It was a great buy.

This a great warm winter jacket. All you need is a light sweater underneath (unless you're going somewhere really cold). Wore to a late December football game, mid 30 temps and was still toasty standing around after a few hours. I'm 5'9" and ordered medium after trying on th large.

I would buy this again, but the material and build quality is so good, I don't believe I'll have to buy it again!

Great for the cold wet and snowy winters in the mountains of WV.

I wanted a coat for the Minnesota winters. Was getting tired of throwing a rain coat over a down coat. This is a great jacket for when the weather outside is at its worst. I tried the small on and that fit overall better but went with the medium for more room. The small fit me better in the chest but the arms were short. Also it felt tight in the arm pits. That is always the issue with the clothing in the outdoor industry. Every company makes a different small or medium from the next. You have to try them before buying online.
