Customer Reviews The North Face Metropolis Parka

I love this jacket. I bought it for my trip to GreenBay for a game at the frozen tundra. I was warm even when temperatures dropped to 15 degrees. I didn't rate the jacket five stars because the hood is detachable and falls off VERY easily which is super annoying!!

I like the warmth, but it is almost not worth it. You can't hold the coat by the hood, it will fall off. It falls off just trying to put it on. I put it on the back of my chair and by the end of the day, without barely touching it, the hood fell off. I would not buy it again for this reason.

I love the the jacket itself. Very lightweight and warm but the only thing I hate about it is the hood. The snap easily detached. We recently had a strong wind gust in Alaska and my jacket hood got blown away. I love how it complete the look of my jacket now I don't have the hood anymore. So North Face,. I got a Metropolis 3, maybe u can replace the hood. Lol

It's a nice jacket but for cost, not worth it. Not designed for Canadian winters and the hood easily unclips or rips off any time I put it on.

Super cute and nice color, but feathers started to come out couple days after purchase :( It was such a bummer because I liked it

The design is for 5'6-5'10 because the waist. I am 5'3 and it looked off to me. I though it was cute, but North Face needs to get some petite design out.

This jacket is very warm, however some cons are that the hood is a snap on instead of zip so it gets tugged easily and unattached. Also, I've always been a size Large in northface but this jacket is more tight fitting harder to move my arms when I wear sweaters

The coat itself is a flattering fit and very warm. Unfortunately, the snaps that attach the hood to the jacket are very weak. Half the time I pull the hood over my head, half the snaps come undone. One time when I was hanging it up, the whole hood snapped off from the body of the jacket. If the snaps were stronger, it would merit five stars.

I LOVE how flattering this coat is, especially if you have curves. Hood is spacious which works well for my big head (hate hoods that are too small). Design of the body of the coat is extremely flattering on waist and butt. BUT. There are TWO FLAWS that led me to sadly, reluctantly have to return it. The first problem is that the outer fabric seems too thin, and almost immediately feathers start popping out everywhere. Not a good look. The second problem is that, as many other reviewers have mentioned, the snaps that attach the hood are very flimsy, so the hood breaks off at the slightest touch or tug. North Face, PLEASE re-do this gorgeous coat by making it have a down-spillage-resistant outer fabric and better quality snaps to firmly attach the hood! Just please, please, PLEASE don't change the gorgeous pattern of the coat. I'd buy several colors with those improvements.

I REALLY wanted to like this coat. I love North Face jackets. They are well made and very warm. BUT this jacket wears UGLY. I have to agree with the other comments - functional but makes a person looks like an upside down bucket when worn.

First time wearing it today and it's...fine. The zipper isn't the quality it should be and the hood isn't very securely attached--no zipper, you're relying on flimsy plastic snaps and it has already almost fallen off on its first wearing. It's cute and warm, I'm just not sure it's going to stay that way or if it's even a keeper. Fit-wise, it is definitely a slim fit, so if you have hips at all, order a size up.

This jacket is comfy and great. I am keeping it because I'm tired of the same old dark boring colors and this line offers nice appealing colors. Draw backs would be how awkward and embarrassing the hood is, and also the hood doesn't fully cover you if you have a bun. Would be nice if it was less point and more room in general. Pricey. Love that I can zip up all the way to my neck for warmth even when I'm not wearing the hood. Wish it was warmer.

For the price of the coat the feathers shouldn't come out of it. All down the arms there are feathers coming out. Very disappointed.

Too small but nice style

It's warm and relatively lightweight. Does not fit the same as on the model. I had to return it.

Super excited about this coat as it was a gift for my birthday. The coat is very warm and a great length. However when zipped up, it was very unflattering on me. For reference, I am 5'5 and 150 lbs, bigger chested, and have wide hips. The cut under the chest is what made it unflattering. Wish the coat was not fitted. Would not recommend for women built like me, but could be more flattering on a more petite figure.

The jacket was so nice and warm when I tried it on at the store, however the packaging it came in is so disappointing. It came completely squished. The jacket itself is great I would give it a 4/5.

I love the jacket , light weight and very comfortable to wear . I only wear 2 times and out of nowhere the back ripped about 2 inch without any yank or pulled, I'm so disappointed and I realize the fabric is Super thin , my last metropolis last me 5 yrs and still in good condition . Luckily I was able to send it back and I ordered the parka instead .

This was such a wonderful coat until I really used it everyday. The hood constantly comes off due to the weak buttons. The hood comes off when people take my coat to hang, it comes off when I get into my car, it comes off when I try to put the hood on, the situations seem to add the more I use this coat. I might just permanently remove the hood and start wearing a hat to keep warm. Quite disappointing.

I was pleased that North Face was still offering a puffer coat in February but the fit just didn't work for me.

I am not quite sure how this jacket looks normal on the model, but in real life this coat is NOT flattering at all. The waist is not tight but in the attempt to look "fitted" or "cinched," there is a weird line across the waist area that subsequently makes you look like a blown out pear. Got the medium ~140 lbs. In other aspects it fit fine, but did not look good at all.

Comfy coat, however I have feathers coming out all over the coat. I'm not sure if I just got a defective coat, but normally all of my Northface items are great quality. This is super disappointing considering the cost.

I have a north face 600 for 7 yrs and I love it! This is not the same quality I expect from North face. The tight waist band is horrible and it's not as warm either! I have other north face jackets for the spring as well.

The quality of this coat is fantastic , I bought this for my daughter, we had to return because the fitted waist was a bit strange. She didn't like the teacup look. Why would they ruin a perfect coat.

I am 5'3" and 120 pounds, size 0-2 and small or extra small. Purchased this in a small. Tried it on and felt a little snug across my chest so decided to try it on with my bulkiest sweater. Felt like a stuffed sausage. Way too tight in the chest (size 34 B cup) Going back.
