Customer Reviews The North Face New Outerboroughs Parka

I come home from work about 12 am every night and I like to go out on my balcony with a beer to unwind. Problem is that it is cold and windy. Well no more problem. I put on this coat and it is like having a blanket around me. And I still feel feminine in it which is important after a long shift working hard labor. Sometimes I need something to feel like a woman. This coat makes me feel special. :)

This jacket is everything that I was looking for. Awesomely made!! Keep in mind it runs 1 size too small since it is "Slim Fit". I had to return the one I purchased for 1 size up.

Really glad to finally have a reliable winter coat! It is pretty tight in the chest (fits me fine because I'm a small person). If you're debating sizes, it may be worth it to order a size up- other than the chest it fits really well. Love all the pockets in this coat. The zipper has been giving me some issues- sometimes so get it the first time and other times I have to play with it.

I bought this coat, so I could stand outside at recess and watch elementary students. It is fantastic at blocking wind and I LOVE the built in mittens.

I use this jacket every single day. It is getting cold in Madison, especially with the tall buildings and the wind all billowing up around everything. I have been warm every single time that I've worn it, except when it was raining. Even on the chilliest of days, I still got a little bit sweaty from how warm I was! So worth it, though. I know I will love that in the winter. When it did rain, the rain did not seep into the jacket, though, and I do not believe that snow would penetrate either. It also dried immediately upon getting indoors. I love all the pockets, too - there are so many are they are very large. It's also very stylish and matches anything that I wear. There're endless great things I could say about this product! The only two bad things I would say about it is that it's a little heavy, but that's understandable, and sometimes the zipper is hard to zip up.

This coat is great for frigid, windy days! A great length, even though I would consider myself shorter than average. My only complaint would be that the shoulders are a bit narrow for my preference and slightly restricts movement. Also, I LOVE that there are two, technically three, sets of pockets! Overall, I would definitely recommend this coat to anyone looking for a thick, warm, lasting coat.

At 5'9" and 165 lbs I usually order a large, but your sizing help suggested an XL for a looser fit that will allow for a warm sweater. By cinching in the waist I get the right fit. It is in the 40's now and I arrive home after a dog walk nice and warm. This is a great coat. I used to have the NFace thigh length puffy coat but, although it was warm, it wasn't waterproof and I got tired of the "Michelin man" look. I agree that the top on this coat is a little more snug fit than I would like but I am a B cup so it's not a big problem. NF needs to listen and correct with their supplier.

I am not happy in cold weather. This parka keeps me warm and snug. I feel protected from the wind, rain and cold temperatures. I am old school and keep my winter coats for several years. I have no doubt this jacket will will serve me well for that. I really lve how I look in it and how I feel in it.

This parka is not only a fashion piece - beautiful olive green (I am obsessed) the coat it keeps you dry and warm and is oh so comfortable too!

I wear my coat to work and going out. It's warm, stylish and comfortable.

I bought this for below zero weather for when I travel. I love everything about it, from the color to the fit!

I am 5' 4" tall and 150 lbs. The coat is a bit snug in the chest area. I think that if you could adjust the back belt one more notch bigger, it would be perfect if you want to layer. However, I love the slimmer look, and it kept me toasty warm in Palmer AK, which is why I bought it. I would definitely buy this coat again.

TNF did an exceptional job when designing this parka. I live in Northeast Ohio and we are having an unusually cold day (temperatures in the 20s F with wind chills making it feel like 9- 14) so it was a perfect morning to see how this piece performs and it didn't disappoint. It provided great coverage and warmth while blocking out the frigid wind. This parka is aesthetically pleasing and the lines are flattering to the female form. Rather than just looking shapeless and bulky like some coats tend to do, having the adjustable belt snaps on the back of the waist provides a feminine silhouette. It's pretty while still being rugged and having utilitarian features. There are four (rather than the usual one or two) pockets on the front and one interior pocket. The snaps and zipper, when worn all the way up, will protect your lower face as if you were wearing a scarf, and there are mitten sleeve ends. The faux fur hood tops off a great design. The fact that it's machine washable is also a huge bonus. This parka is true to size in terms of fit. I'm tall with an hourglass figure and usually wear size M in women's or size S if I'm wearing a men's hoodie, etc. I ordered this in a M and even with a fuller bust, it fits perfectly. It didn't feel too tight or loose in any areas. This is a solid and dense coat but isn't cumbersome or heavy to wear. I'd recommend it 100%.

With very cold/snowy winters, this coat is perfect for cold and windy conditions. I have quite a long walk at my work campus and this coat is perfect for keeping me warm. The fit is great and flattering. I absolutely love the cuffs and hood!

Love the fit and feel of this product. Keeps me warm and is fashionable.

It is not cold enough to wear at this time but having tried it on I know that it will be warm and comfortable. I love the slim style, which is flattering, and the color. The soft collar is a plus for cold windy days.Delivery was prompt, the box

Having joined Northwestern as a freshman, and hailing from sunny SIngapore which is on the Equator, it was important for me to find something that would keep me warm and cozy during harsh Evanstom winters. My North Face Parka was exactly what I was looking for !

Love the quality - however.......all my North Face coats are medium but I had to return this one for a large because it was very tight on the chest. If you are usually a snug medium, I would definitely go large (I'm 5'8" 138 lbs) Otherwise beautiful coat!!!!

I bought this product because I ride horses in a lighter, waist length coat. I wanted something more stylish for when I was in colder weather.

Bought this coat for my daughter lives in Rochester NY I trust Northface coats , jackets . Cause I know I'm getting the best jacket for my Child thank you Northface will buy again

I absolutely love this coat, but I couldn't give it a five star rating because of the fit in the hip area. This coat is not designed for women who have wide hips other than that the coat keeps me warm, repels the rain and overall a great purchase.

I was hoping to replace my parka this year because I outgrew my north face jacket I've had for over 5 years. I was wearing a medium and decided to get a large for better fit but the large in the outer back just doesn't fit nicely. I didn't get to use the product outside. I got it, tried it, it fits comfortable and warm, my only draw back is I didn't like the fit.

The coat is very warm kept me cozy in a 4 degree day. There's no drawstring in the waist and doesn't have a very feminine cut because of that I would try and size down if you want a more snug fit.

This product is extremely warm but runs a bit big. I had to return but will buy again.

Very warm jacket. Great material and looks great! My only complaint is the collar. It's hard and covers the chin but not height enough. If you wear with a scarf is not that bad but if you don't wear a scarf the collar is a little bit uncomfortable. Otherwise is a great jacket!
