Customer Reviews The North Face New Outerboroughs Parka

Nice warm parka for New England winter! Good length fit for petite build not bulky. Underarm is a bit tight though.

Go a size bigger

Size is weird for petite women. L is too large and M is too small .

I really wanted to like this parka but I'm only 5'2" and 126lbs and the size small was tight in the arms and shoulders and the arms were too long for me. Since I'm short I looked really fat and puffy. If the shoulder and arm area wasn't tight I would've exchanged it for an extra small which probably would've looked better. My daughter tried it on and since she's 5'6" and 100lbs it looked much more flattering on her. She definitely needed an extra small though. I can tell that this jacket is really warm and it's well made.

Great coat for rainy weather.

My first jacket came ripped, and couldn't try it on and second it came good and got to try it on and found out that I needed one more size bigger.

Coat feels great on. Quality is good, as is the style. I appreciate the snaps and higher quality sleeve fabric compared to the arctic parka. Only wish is that it had the back cinching for a more flattering fit.

I use this for everyday use. Seems warm and lightweight. The GREATEST feature is the inside straps, when I am outside I feel cold so I wear a coat but when I am shopping with my coat on I am very warm so these straps are amazing because I can take my coat off without carrying it! I think every coat should have these straps in them!

I live in Massachusetts and it gets pretty cold. I've had North Face coats since I was 16?

Needed a heavy duty jacket for Chicago winters without a car and it holds up! It's a relaxed fit so it definitely runs a little big but that's what I wanted for layering. It's warm but I still layer. 5'2" 125 lbs, got a medium and the sleeves are way too long but I just roll them up. The hood is terrible

I gave this to my daughter as a gift and she loves it. She says it keep her warm.

Seemed like it would be a warm coat! Just wish it was a little longer for taller people.

Hood fits a bit loose and big if you where it you might need to adjust it from time to time because it could block your view. I love how it keeps you warm, I would of love it a bit shorter. And I love the straps it has in case you get warm and need a breather you can carry it as a backpack!

The coat feels comfortable to wear. The shoulder is a perfect fit. Really great for the colder months of the year. I like the straps on the inside to wear it as a backpack instead of carrying it by hand.

Light and warm

It is extremely warm and breathable. It's comfortable with sleeves that are long enough as well. The fit is a little loose but does provide space for layering. I also love the amount of pockets!

Use for warmth for hikes and walking

Super warm, good length, I like the shape. Missing a safe pocket, would prefer an inside pocket and pockets that open from top vs side

I really like this parka. I purchased it as a replacement for a previous North Face parka that I loved even more tho (it was just too old). Pro: warm, nice fit, lots of pockets Cons: can't really adjust how the hood fits around the head, I wish it was slightly longer (I am 5'6" and purchased a M)

I wonder if all the outerbougher coats their Feather comes out all the time. Big disappointment for an expensive coat. It is very warm you need no layers

Too heavy for me

This jacket is very warm but I am not 100% a fan of the fit. I didn't notice this online on the model but it kind of flares out just a little so it's not a straight fit. I was not going for that look but I hope I'll warm up to it, otherwise it's perfect!

Cozy and warm with lots of deep pockets.

This coat is warm and comfortable. I love the knit cuffs w/ the thumb holes! The hood is not removable, and it's rather stiff, with some kind of wire around it; not crazy about that aspect. Good pockets, too!

My only complaint is that it didn't have a inside pocket , like the prior visions I love north face coats because of the warmth, water resistance, and the many pockets. I great thing about the north face coats that I've found is even though it is a bit pricey the coats last many years because of the quality. My last coast lasted over 7 years, the only reason I got a new one was Because it lost its fluff from the feathers
