Customer Reviews The North Face Metropolis Parka

Jacket was purchased as a friend living in the windy city. She loves the lengths and quality.

The jacket is very warm, but the hood easily comes off when just grabbing from a coat racket.

I wear this coat everyday from November to March, even for walking the dog. I absolutely love it. It's very warm and flattering. Roomy enough to add layers when it's -40c. The only thing I absolutely can't stand is how easily the hood comes off. It would be the perfect coat if the hood was attached. That's the only reason why I give it 4 stars. I'm 5'5 and bought a medium. I'm top and bottom heavy. Good for 150-190lbs.

Love the fit and weight of the coat but the hood comes off so easily even when I hang it.

The quality is super. Wore it in 20 degree weather and it kept me warm. Didn't feel a single chill while wearing it. I can feel the body heat. I usually wear lower quality coat and this is the first time wearing a NorthFace brand and I can feel the difference. Very happy with the buy. I am only giving a four because the hood is buttoned on and it keeps falling off.

I just bought this coat to replace an older model that I've been wearing for about 5-6 years (has held up well, but the style is much boxier). My teenage daughter bought a newer model 2 years ago, and my new one is by far the slimmest fitting model even from recent models almost like dart seams in back at waist. Takes a little getting used to, but I like it very much. Same good quality at a reasonable price point (considering other brand coats of similar style today). I do agree with reviewers in fact it was the first thing I noticed snaps from the hood come undone, especially when my scarf is wrapped around my neck. This is bothersome, but I'm not sure it's enough to dissuade someone from buying the coat. It is something NorthFace should address. Older models also have weak snaps, which is odd given the quality zippers? Overall, I give this coat a 9/10 and recommend it.

This is about as flattering as a parka can get thanks to the shaping at the waist. It's nice and warm and the length is great for keeping the tops of your legs warm. The only downside is the neck, as someone who is only 5' tall the neck goes up so high when it's fully zipped that it basically goes up to my mouth. The hood is also kind of ridiculously big. All the other propositions are good though so it's a little strange. (I bought the XS.) My last coat was an earlier version of the Metropolis and the neck and hood fit were much better, I'm disappointed about the change.

alot of women like this style of coat or Jacket I think it looks real good for casual wear but this Parka don't look that warm and is $300

It is not winter yet, so major comments reserved, however, it seems well made, is easy to wear and I am over all very pleased. The price seems reasonable and I am looking forward to being "North Face Snug" all winter. If you have to face north, do it in a "north face".

I'm typically a 12. Ordered a large and had plenty of room. However, there is almost too much room around the bottom that will let cold air in. I'm keeping the coat, but it could be improved if the waist and bottom were able to be cinched.

Color ok

I returned it because it was too tight fitting

I LOVED my original Metropolis. Wore it for 15 years. Finally ordered a replacement. So disappointed no placard with snap closure; the added elastic at waist makes an already puffy coat look like a balloon tied in middle

Nice jacket. I bought on sale the wrong size and there was no way to exchange it so I had to return it and ended up not buying another because I could not get the discount.

Nice color, warm and comfortable but do not like the way it fits. Looking to exchange for a smaller size, hopefully will look more fitted as opposed to bulky

The arms are so small/tight on this coat. I bought for my sister who's size is a true Medium and she couldn't wear with a sweater on.

It's a nice enough jacket, it lacks frills for the price point in my opinion. It runs a little small and I would assume due to it being a more fitted coat. I got it on sale so I'm not sad about it.

I like the quality on some north face jacket. I'm disappointed with the style lately is ugly and the fit is hit or miss.

Cozy and light weight

The coat is very warm and stylish. The buttons on the hoodie constantly open. That's my only complaint. Other than that, great coat!

I purchased this coat because I am a crossing guard at a school. I wanted something warm for those cold Illinois winters. I have been in some negative temperatures and the coat has kept me warm. My biggest complaint is the hood. It does not stay attached. It is the most infuriating thing. I go to hang my coat up and it comes I clipped, it even comes I clipped when I pull my hood up on my head. I recently got a hole in this coat from my snow blower and all the feathers are coming out. Since the hood annoyed me everyday I decided to purchase a completely different coat.

Bought to wear in Canada. Didn't think would be warm enough so I returned it.

I have had my jacket for less than one month and worn it only a handful of times & the feathers are coming out all over the jacket! The last one I had lasted me such a long time and was way better quality. Not sure if I received one that just wasn't up to quality standard but really bummed I spent so much money for a jacket that may only get me through one winter.

Bought a large (which is my normal size) But is too tight across the chest. If you are busty buy an extra large. Returning

I am a long time North Face parka-wearer and had to recently had to replace my most loved coat when it had seen better days. I was hoping this would be a similar parka, however I disliked the fit. The Metropolis parka is narrow or cinched in at the waist-- did not like this fit nor did I feel it was flattering. The fit was normal in the remainder of the coat, but I feel I would have trouble wearing a sweater/sweatshirt under the parka due to the narrowed midsection. Returned this one.
