Customer Reviews The North Face New Outerboroughs Parka

I use this product for these brutal winters in NY. This coat is perfect it's comfortable and waterproof. Bought this coat for myself. The coat is very stylish too

This product was sold old last year, and I have been waiting until it became available again. It was worth the wait! It is not bulky, and the side snaps give it a more fitted silhouette, which is what I look for. It's the perfect length to wear with pants and skirts, and will keep me warm during winter here in the Northeast.

It hasn't gotten cold enough to wear this coat in low temperatures yet, but it seems promising. It feels warm without being too bulky. I'm particularly excited about two features: 1) The sleeves have an extra cuff that folds over my hands and 2) the set of pockets that seemed to be placed in the perfect position for my hands. Excited to wear this coat in my first NYC winter!

I've been wearing the same North Face Ptak for the past 6 years and it's still in good shape. It was the first parka I invested and being from the Midwest, once you buy your first parka, you never go back. My friend actually told me about this new parka and said it was a major upgrade from the old type of north face parka because the new ones are even warmer. When I saw her in it, I saw how cute it was too so I had to try one myself. I absolutely love it. It truly is 10x warmer than my old parka, which I already know will be amazing for Chicago winters. And for being a heavy, thick parka, it's actually really cute and stylish. It had straps on the sides that pull in the waist so it still gives you a figure. I also love the fur on the hood. All around a really nice quality parka and I can't wait to wear it this winter.

This is my second NF coat (the last one I bought was back in 2012). I am a photographer and I am always out and about in all sorts of weather. The Outer Boroughs parka has a lot of pockets, which is extremely convenient for me. It is a bit heavy, but very, very warm. Perfect for me! Looking forward to wearing it this winter.

OMG This is the best winter coat ever! It is so comfy and stylish. Fits true to size, Large is what I usually order and this wasn't too tight or too loose, nice fitted look that is flattering, loads of deep pockets. Kept me cozy and warm through -60 degree weather and wind chill. It was so warm I really only needed it when it was below 0. The hood is long enough and covers the sides of my face, I didn't need a ski mask with this. Overall it is for some serious harsh weather and will make you feel warm even in the coldest temps! Didn't feel too heavy, also breathable. I mean I don't know what else you go do to make this a better winter jacket?! Maybe if some propellers came out and flew me to florida during blizzard season xD 10/10 Also for the love of all living creatures, open this package carefully and without scissors/box cutters! It will cut through the goose lining (that happened to me in another north face jacket but they did accept an exchange at least)

Love this coat. Stylish and very warm!!!

I love this jacket! It is so warm and cozy during Chicago's freezing temperatures. The color is gorgeous and the zippets are very strong and wasy to use. The sinched in sides make it figure flattering and definitely not boxy.

Super awesome parka! I wore it during the polar vortex in Chicago and kept warm. I especially like the cuffs that turn into mittens.

I bought a NF coat similar to the Arctic Parka in 2013. I was almost tempted to buy the Artic Parka II (hello, cheaper price) but chose the Outer Boroughs due to the amount of pockets, ability to adjust the waist, the length and the longer sleeve length of the inner liner. For reference I am 5'6" 118lbs, I bought a medium in Dark Grey Heather (SO relieved they had got it back in stock!!). This was based on my previous fit of my other NF coat and it remains true for this one. There is a smidgeon more room but when I layer it's perfect, not restricting. Unlike my previous NF coat it isn't nearly as voluminous however I am much warmer. TNF PLEASE add just one more snap to the waist and it'll be perfect!! While it is quite a pricey coat, the quality is great and it will last for years. I truly beat the heck out of my other NF coat.

I bought this parka in December and was concerned about the size after reading previous reviews. I normally wear a medium and a medium fits perfectly. For reference I am 5'6" and an athletic 130 lbs. This parka is very warm and perfect for wearing in the snow as it is waterproof.

I bought this coat back in early November and was a bit worried Inwouldnt get to wear it because it is so warm, that I get too warm at times for this coat. Now that it's January and very cold and I have a puppy with outdoor needs, I wear this coat all the time and it has even kept me comfy warm during this nasty polar vortex the last few days. Highly recommend this coat if you want to be toasty warm in the cold winter months

Love this coat. The only complaints are that the dollar is a bit stiff and I sometimes feel like I'm wearing a neck brace... BUT it's sooo warm, the built in mittens are useful, the hood stays up and is very insulating. It also looks as good in the city as a down parka can. Since this polar vortex just started, I'm very happy I've got this!!!

Perfect for our rollercoaster temputures we are having in Maine this year.

Bought this coat when heading to Russia in January. It was spot on to what I had seen online. It is warm, comfortable, and very stylish. I got a lot of great comments, the hood is a great size and stays up as opposed to some jackets where the hood falls unless zipped up all the way. I would recommend this again and again for cold weather climate. The internal liner hand covers that you can flip over your hands are great too.

Absolutely wonderful coat. It runs a click small. My wife always wears petite small. She had to go to a medium. If you are at the top of the range for a size, size up. Very warm. Very cute. My wife loved it.

I live in Maine and walk about a mile to work. I got this coat for Christmas and have worn it to work each day. I am very satisfied with how warm it keeps me.

I love how warm and stylish it is

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter, she has great taste and loves this coat. It looks great on her.

Great warm coat

You get your moneys worth out of it

Ok So I felt compelled to review this item and I rarely review anything!! After much debate I decided to purchase this jacket and I'm glad that I did!! I ordered many jackets including on a whim a couple Canada goose jackets Just to see what all the hype was about but I can honestly tell you that in my opinion this jacket is every bit of stylish as those coats that are way more $$$!! I have more of a petite frame I am 5' 4 and about 118 pounds I went with the extra small it is very fitted on me which is what I like!! I will say this is a heavier coat and it will definitely keep you warm but manages To be slimming and not to puffy on the body!! If you are looking for a warmer coat this one is for you!!

Beautiful and warm jacket! I personally don't find that it restricts movement like other reviewers, but I also opted to size up to a medium since I always wear thick layers. My only complaint is that it always takes me longer than I feel it should to get the zipper zipped. I also wish the inner lining around the neck matched the built in mittens... but that's a minor detail. Functionally, it works well.

Purchased this for a trip to NYC and it's definitely kept me warm! We also had some terrible weather and it just rained all day. This coat kept me completely dry. Its also super stylish and definitely has the quality that you expect from North Face products.

Love this jacket!! Everything about it is awesome!!! A little pricey but definitely worth the money:)
