Customer Reviews The North Face Metropolis Parka

Love the coat. I would give it ten stars for warmth and style. It's just a great looking coat. I bought the large. I am 5'8" and weigh 165 pounds. Still plenty of room for a winter sweater underneath. I do have one gripe, and it irritates me daily- the snaps on the hood are RIDICULOUS. I never hang by the hood (it's actually impossible). The hood snaps to the coat by way of these tiny, very weak snaps. They come unsnapped constantly. I'm finding myself being very cautious with the hood, and I feel that's absurd with the cost of the coat. It should just function properly. Other than that, the coat is beautiful.

It's a really nice coat, very warm. I'm not a fan of the cinched waist though. Wish that wasn't there, but over all it's a great coat.

I live in this parka, so, obviously, I love it. My only complaint is the snaps that attach the hood are kinda wimpy. If one grabs it by the hood, it easily unsnaps.

Seems like a high quality product. Haven't used it yet as the weather has been relatively nice but looking forward to using to bundle up in frigid temps.

I bought this for my wife, she loves it but the hood is so loose. It easily snaps if you put a little pressure but other then that it's a great coat

I bought this to replace a really old version of this coat that was awesome. I bought it in green and love the durability so far (dogs jumping up and no tearing). My one grievance is that the hood pops off if you do anything to it. I wanted a coat with a hood but this one has popped off five or six times, you can't pick it up by the hood or hang it by the hood. I've ended up having to take the hood fully off cause it's always hanging with two or three snaps undone.

It is a nice coat, warm. My only complaint is the length for someone who is short. Maybe have different lengths.

Love everything about this coat. Its light in weight but keeps you warm. The only complaint I have is that it is a little tighter on the bust area (at least for me). Other than that, this purchase was an absolute gem.

This coat is beautiful. I look/feel slimmer than the big puffy coats as this really zips you in (like a glove, so it may be a bit snug with oversized sweaters on). I was happy though with my regular size Medium. Super warm for outdoor Chicago cold hikes! Major con: As other reviews state, the hood snaps are not secure and the hood pops off even while just adjusting around face. A zipper would way better! North Face please listen to your consumers here who love your product. :)

Pretty color. Great length. Well made. Only con is that I'd prefer that you could adjust the waist so that it could be cinched more.

Great coat, but the hood falling off is annoying!

I use the coat on a daily basis for school drop offs and for running errands. I am in a mountain town with snow and although it keeps me fairly warm, it's not quite as warm as I'd like it to be. I'm used to inner cuffs at the wrist and I thought not having them would bother me, but it doesn't. It runs true to size. I'm 5'7" 150lbs and bought a medium, which fits perfectly. The sleeves are long enough and it's roomy enough for a layer or two. Ultimately I'm happy with the purchase.

The jacket is warm, it's true to size for me, I bought XL although I'm a large for fear it would be too small. The XL is extra large. I stuck w the XL anyway. The hood attaches with snap on buttons and the buttons disconnect too easy so I'm often checking to see if my hood is on. I get lots of compliments on the jacket.

Super warm. Super flattering. The only issue is the hood. It is detachable by snaps but they are so flimsy that I'm constantly re attaching the hood every single time I take my purse off or anything

If your goal is to be warm this coat is for you. My only issue is that the hood comes apart easily. I have to take the hood off when the hood completes the look of the coat

Love this jacket so much but I wish the hood didn't snap off so easily. You just have to be careful but over all it's so cute

Very good looking jacket . Very comfortable. Good protection against cold and snow. Very happy with the purchase

I wear this everyday during the cold season.

This is a super warm and very pretty coat. I like the gathering at waist and rounded back hem. I ordered in an XS because they were out of S, my usual size. Def needed the S. could only zip up w a tee shirt on. No room in an XS on me. Had it fit, i would have kept it!

This coat immediately caught my eye under NEW ARRIVALS! I wanted a coat that was cute, warm, but not long. The girl in the pic coat is passed her waist but not to the knees. I'm 5'6 (230 lbs) and it went to my knees! I normally get a 2X but ordered a 3X in case I layered underneath. The coat was not only longer than I expected but it was too big. I returned the coat on November 20th but TNF just received it on December 10th! I ended up purchasing the shorter version in a 2X and it fits perfect! My only regret is although I love the mint green/jade color is that I had gone with my first mind and bought the mauve color.

Love this jacket, but the only one thing I wasn't fond of was the snaps on the hoodie. The snaps would easily snap off while you hang it on the hook or when putting it on. For a $300 jacket, the snaps seems pretty generic.

It's surprisingly light for how warm it is. It's also pretty fitted.

Love it - except for the detachable hood. The snaps attaching the hood come apart extremely easily (e.g., if you hang it by the hood the weight of the coat may cause it to detach). I'd expect sturdier snaps on something of this quality.

This is the 2nd time buying this coat, loved my old one. I gave it 4 stars because every time I take my purse off, it unsnaps 3-5 snaps on my hood. It's inconvenient. The snaps come apart so easily!

I purchased this jacket in L few weeks ago. It's perfectly insulated and feels warm and cozy. I live in NYC. So far it's been holding up well for the cold weather. 1 star off for the snap hood - it comes off easily. I'm 5'3 and the length is up to my knees.
