Customer Reviews The North Face McMurdo Parka III - Tall

A bit hard to zip up. I'm Asian, 6'1'' 184 lbs and i wear size L. It fits me well, just a little bit loose on shoulder. Must have one in your closet! Recommend this one and TNF Nuptse 700 fill power, Mcmurdo is just 550 but i'm happy with it in nyc weather. Good for investment, Canada goose is good for flexing.

Highly recommend this jacket. It's extremely warm and fits great. I'm 6 foot 175lbs and medium is perfect. No issues with zipper. Best value for the $ in this category

Nice color fits well and its extreamly stylish but near $400 for a jacket is not affordable

I must first praise the customer service from The North Face. Easy to order and very fast delivery. One of the best I've seen. Canadian here, a Parka is a must to survive winters. This one is affordable and stylish and will do the job perfectly.

It's extremely extremely warm and I also appreciate how warm the hood keeps your whole head and face when using it!!! I haven't figured out how to use the built-in face mask yet but I'll get there LOL I also found it to be much lighter in weight than I originally imagined but it's cause the down in this jacket is really really good at holding in air which people say allegedly is the best insulator :) I'm 5'11" and weigh about 200lbs (huskular build) and I got it in a large, and it fits perfectly. I got it in black and I recommend doing so since you can wear it with anything.

THIS JACKET IS AMAZINGLY WARM

As previous comments have stated, the zipper can be hard to initially engage and is a little undersized

It provides good insulation and it's good for the cold winters.

Comfy, lightweight, stylish, A+

I first ordered the Gotham which I had to return because it wasn't big enough around the chest so I needed a triple x large rather than a double. IT will take me a few attempts before ( master getting in and out of it as far as the zipper goes as I am also using an oxygen cylinder tank and the air hoses may interfere with the zippers when I put it on or take it off. The parka is much more spacious than the Gotham III which was more of a normal winter coat rather than a heavy duty winter parka meant for the SWISS ALPS or Mt Everest in Asia. It would have been nice if the NORTH FACE could have included a temp range in the box as far as how suitable and warm is it if the temps reach minus 30 or minus 60? Some coats aren't insulated for extreme cold ranges that run 2-3 weeks/

Great coat for outdoor winter activities and battling the elements

Feel design big, i purchase with M

Using in the city of Chicago where it can be cold in late fall and winter. Way better than the competition.

Best jacket ever

The parka definitely look and feels great. It is awesome if you also want to do slight layering under it for both warmth and fashion.

I bought this for my husband after he spent weeks comparing reviews of winter coats online and this one seemed to match up with coats which were around 4 times the price! He works outdoors in freezing temperatures over the winter, lots of standing around, and he is raving about this coat, he loves it, especially the built in face guard.

Like thw fit. and it is warm

I love the Parkar. It looks good and I feel warm when I wear it.

I have no regrets or complaints for this product. Love it

Wear it during really cold weather. Sub 40 degrees.

Fantastic Jacket. I'm from Texas and haven't had a proper winter yet, but this thing is insanely warm. The zippers are a bit tricky but it's because it's not worn in yet. Definitly recommend.

Great for cold weather, snow & rain

The coat is really warm and quality is good. But the size is too large. My height is the same the model in the picture but size M is too large for me.

This was a gift for my son for college in the upper peninsula of Michigan. It is warm, stylish and windproof. He loves it. It fits a little big, but we knew that before and chose the size accordingly. He is 5'9" and 165 pounds and a medium fit well with plenty of room for a bulky sweater under. He loves the built-in face mask.

I was in Iceland and tried on the Canada Goose Langford. I loved the fit, finish, feel and look of the coat. The zippers were pretty difficult to maneuver though. The price is high, but what turned me off more was that I not interested in the branding & attention garnered for wearing the trendy status symbol. I have no problem paying a premium for quality and functionality, but in the end didn't feel the coat was great enough to warrant the price. My search for a quality alternative had me running through multiple other brands at various price points $400-$800. The finalists were the Woolrich John Rich Arctic Parka, Fllaljaven Yupik, Northface Nuptse Ridge Parka and McMurdo 3. I ordered both Northfaces and the search ended with the McMurdo 3. The Nuptse was nice but it didn't quite fit right. The McMurdo felt very similar to the Canada Goose, had similar pockets, looks very sharp, felt just as warm and the zippers were much easier to maneuver. I knew this was the coat I was looking for and returned the Nuptse. Lifetime Warranty, premium brand, similar quality/features and 1/3 the price. 100% if you are searching for a more reasonable alternative to the Canada Goose Langford without sacrificing much, buy this coat, you will love it!!
