Customer Reviews The North Face New Outerboroughs Parka

Great coat! Kept me warm despite the elements. Only 2 things I would change: add more pockets (internally especially) and the hood was a little large and heavy.

Super warm - exactly what I needed for this winter. The only complaint is it's not stylish enough for me; despite I think it's the best looking one in the site. Granted, I am not really a person who wears a puffy/ parka; but everything else is top notch! This coat has become a very day coat for me, especially when I am out running errands.

Lovely jacket! have gotten tons of compliments on it. Very warm, only con is sleeves are long but I don't need to wear gloves with it on now

I only gave this coat 4 stars vs 5, because like other reviewers said it's a weird shape, smaller at top/mainly in the armpit area but then it fits normal once you get past your arms. It's extremely warm and cozy, if you live in a very cold climate or winter this coat will keep you warm. I decided to keep it and I'm glad I did, the arms aren't an issue, I don't know if it stretched or what.

Large too big and medium too small in shoulders

Shoulders were to narrow so had to order a larger size and the it looked huge elsewhere Ended up returning Great coat of fits u in the shoulder

I am 5'1" and 155 pounds. I love the length to keep my legs warm.

Very good for COLD, windy weather.

Coat is super warm. However I should have gotten a medium because the large is a little too big. But it's a very nice coat.

The only con is the plastic main zipper that has rather large teeth. Why they would ruin this amazing coat with a zipper that doesn't feel like it will last is a head scratcher. I do have older North Face waist length coats with a smaller tooth on the zipper and those coats are at least 4 years old with no zipper issues so I am keeping my fingers crossed that the larger teeth and longer zipper length won't be a wear and tear issue. The North Face has never done me wrong before. This coat is amazing, stylish, warm and full of pockets in all the right places. Hand warmer pockets, deep pockets, and hidden pockets behind the deep pockets, inner card/phone pocket. Stylish snap waist clinchers. Detachable fur on hood (thank goodness). Inner sleeve cuffs to keep the snow/breeze out. The North Face really did their research for this coat. It isn't a lightweight coat. It has some heft to it. If you want to look stylish while being blanketed in a soothing warmth then this is the coat for you. The hood is great too. I purchased the green one and I love the subtle color. I live in Alaska and our winters see temperatures below 20 regularly and I love this coat.

Nice

I live in Wisconsin so a warm coat is essential. This coat is mostly warm and has features that I like, such as two sets of outer pockets. However, the seams aren't all sealed. There is one set in particular just above the elbows -- when I wear this coat, I'm completely warm except for the wind seeping through at the elbow and freezing me! I'm not sure if this is a manufacturer error or if the coat is just not designed to be sealed there. As others have remarked, the coat runs small and the arms are somewhat long, but I don't mind this. I love the fleece wrist liners in the coat and the way they are designed. I love this coat but am not sure if I'd buy again... It's too pricey to not have all the seams sealed and this makes me wonder about quality and durability overall.

Most of my sweatshirts and jackets are Northface and I usually wear medium. I bought this jacket in a medium. It is warm but it seems to be a big.

Absolutely love this coat. Received it as an early Christmas gift. North face products have always lasted me many years whether it be a jacket, hat, or gloves. I like that the zipper comes up from the bottom end upwards allowing you for more room when sitting down.

I purchased this coat especially for an upcoming trip to Norway.

My daily commute includes walking across an incredibly windy bridge in Boston. When I have this parka on, I can not feel the wind at all.

I really love the look and warmth of this coat. It does run TTS to Smallish. I bought the S for reference I am 5'6" 125 lbs. It did feel tight at the chest/armpit but has since stretched, the M was too bell like at the bottom. Sadly, as much as I love the style the New Taupe color has faded and looks patchy where the hood is and where the fur attaches. I expected more for a coat that is over $400. I still wear it and still get complimented on the fit and style.

I'm 5'3 112 pounds and I first got a S, but feel little to big on the lower part as it flares out on the bottom. Then I reordered XS and it fits much better on the bottom part, but the top part feels little restricted. In the end I kept the S, as It is a winters coat and sometimes you will need to wear thick sweaters underneath and I want to still feel comfortable. I tried on the kids parka and it fits better but feels women's parka quality is better. I wish North Face add petite sizes to their lines.

This coat is warm and good for cold, windy weather. The hood is stiff and the material at the front has an odd ripple or bulge on the underside, but overall the coat is comfortable. It has a slim fit through the body.

Good coat but very heavy on.

This jacket is going to be perfect for cold midwest winters. It is a great length and a great matieral! The only thing I don't love is around the neck because it is so high when I zip it up. I'm sure this will come in handy to protect my face on stormy days but otherwise it is a little too high.

I was a little hesitant with the size but it fits great for my 5ft frame. My 2 complaints are the collars being too big & the delivery option ... Otherwise, I love the jacket!

Perfect for winter weather.

I am 5'-9" 150lb and usually I would have purchased a Medium but I listened to all of the reviews and ordered a Large - I am so glad I did this as it fits perfectly. I started wearing it recently as the weather started to get windy and cold and all my friends were asking me where I got it. As we were walking outside in 20F degree weather, I was perfectly cozy while they were freezing. First of all, the jacket is WARM (and most importantly waterproof). Second of all, it is cute. I love that the fake fur on the hood doesn't look "cheap", which I was afraid of. I was also surprised by the extra features - a hidden pocket on the inside of the jacket (usually only men's coats have that), the "waist clenching" feature on the back, soft/warm/cozy material at the neck, and the "mitten-sleeves". Anyway, I am very happy with my purchase and I think it was worth it. I purchased the navy one.

Great coat! It's nice and warm and great quality. The only thing that bothered me was the hood color. I thought I was getting a grey mixed with white hood lining. It was more brown toned when I got it. The picture is a little off from the item I received.
