Customer Reviews The North Face Arctic Parka GORE-TEX®

Took for the for my first snow trip. This Jacket is awesome (you never sweat in it) it is really nice and warm. I am 6.1 feet 185 Lbs.

For the price, this one doesn't do it. I have used North Face gear for years and it seems that they are becoming more concerned with ticking off the right boxes: having recycled content, POC models, etc. and have forgotten that the real job of an outdoor gear company is to make outdoor gear that works. For starters, if you are tall or have longer arms, forget this coat, the sleeves are short and the would-be nice touch of thumbhole sleeve anchors are either useless or painful (your choice). No ... they don't offer it in a Tall version. It is light weight, but the inner fabric feels almost fragile ... except, of course, the 3"x6" advertisement banner they sew to the inner lining that is made of some kind of crinkle textured poly fabric that is not comfortable at all. Fortunately, that can be removed with a little risk and a little patience. But ... for a $600 jacket, you shouldn't have to do surgery. Sad to say it, but I think I am done with North Face.

High quality product. Extremely warm in the cold Chicago winters. Almost too many pockets!

We bought this for my son who will be attending college next fall and it has been awesome in the cold and windy winters so far!

Perfect

Warm and comfortable to wear everywhere!

Really warm for Wyoming weather.

Very good

super warm and classy

I am 6 feet (182cm) and I ordered an L size. Slightly large for me but generally good. Keep me worm as long as the weather is not too cold.

Very comfortable

I got this for my dad and he loves it so much. He tried this and McMurdo and this was a clear winner, lighter, but oh so warm and comfy and breathable. He wasn't sure about the fur trim at first but ended up liking it too. He needed it on short notice and so ended up getting the only size the store had which was XL, it is his usual, it fit a bit big but not prohibitively so. I subsequently searched for and bought the women's version of this jacket as I also loved it and found it lighter than the other current down parka options at North Face.

TNF finally returns providing long-term quality with eco-conscious GORE-Tex, superior to the McMurdo's DryVent -for a product to retain water-proof finish that will last decades. Its comfortable, get it.

Purchased for winter Colorado vacation. It's been great for this years sub zero temps in Colorado, Kansas and Missouri.

Amazing jacket, size yourself down as parkas are large and long. I'm 5'11" and got a medium, fits perfect and sure to stay warm with minimal layers underneath.

It fits perfect. At first I thought it was a bit big, but it fits and hugs onto your body just right. I am thinking about getting another color!

Beautiful jacket, warm, high quality and fits well BUT you must go down a size. I was debating between this and the McMufro but the Arctic Parka is much nicer and better made. The black logo is a lot nicer too. Highly recommend!

This parka is one of the best jackets.

Love this jacket it was worth every penny is so warm great in the snow as well noting sticks to it

I love this coat it's very comfortable

Love this jacket - perfect fit and weight - way less bulky than the McMurdo and has snaps instead of velcro. Worth the upgrade IMO

Light and warm

I was hesitant, but this is an awesome purchase. Lightweight, very warm & fashionable!

Keeps me warm on chilly days bye the river and dry on rainy days. I will definitely buy another color next winter to prolong this coat.

This product is very very confortable with layers and very very warm in Arctic cold. I bought it specially for lapland Finland trip. It gave me freedom to explore in -22 Celcius above Arctic circle area Finland.
