Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Thorium Parka

I bought this to replace a full length parka that had finally worn out and couldn't go back to something hip length for casual use. I was looking for something that was long (even on taller women - I am 5'9"), warm, had the right zippers to make it functional for moving around and wasn't completely shapeless. I got more than I could have asked for in this parka. It's all of the above - AND it's stylish! I usually wear a medium in Arc'teryx outerwear but had to size down to a small for this jacket. The arms were still long enough even with the smaller size which is usually my problem when sizing down. If you're on the hunt for a new parka - look no further.

Very good quality, just the cost that we was looking for.

Loving it, envelopes my whole body. I sized up so that it would feel like a big warm comfy robe and this did not disappoint. I think the only thing that would make it better would be if it was completely waterproof. Water resistant works for my purposes though.

Best jacket ever! Not bulky looking but warm enough for Chicago winters. So many compliments.

good coverage and warm

Very happy with this purchase. High quality and warm. I like the logo details on the hood as well. Exactly what I was hoping for, and kept me toasty when it was -12 outside

I wanted a lightweight, long, warm puffer jacket that also didn't look bulky. This coat meets those criteria. However, I am debating whether to keep it, because the hood lays in an awkward way. When put up, it is shaped like a light bulb, where it is big and round on top with extra room, but narrow at the chin. When put down, it sticks out in a funny way and the sides where the zipper is stand up and constantly brush my lower cheek, which kind of drives me nuts. The sides of the hood should lay flat when not in use. It seems that this is due to the opening of the hood being a bit small so as to stay in place when up. But this could be achieved with the use of adjustable cords instead.

I ordered this online as it wasnt available in stores in town. Not much information on length etc online so a bit of a gamble to order the right size. Lightweight and warm but missing the details like cords and hooks to pull the jacket together around the face and neck as well end of the jacket. I had the exact same problem with my patera coat where its impossible to close the jacket fully due to buttons missing etc. For the price I cant believe this is missing. The same with pockets missing on the inside. This coat will work okay for walks in town but I live in a coastal city where there is frequent stormy weather. I need heat, wind & water protection and Im buying a new coat as I find my patera too cold and air is coming in from poor closure.

Bought this right before a super cold snap in the Cdn rockies and it was a god send for walks and errands! Love the many zippers that allow me full range of movement when I need it. As usual top quality and function from the Arcteryx brand!

I love everything about this jacket! I bought it to keep me warm in the alberta winters while walking my dogs and more than exceeds my expectations!

I bought it two weeks ago. Yesterday it was heavy snowing and I spent three hours with children playing outside. The parka left absolutely dry! It was windy but I didnt feel it. I was warm and happy! Its true to size. Suppose I can wear it with appropriate layers till -20 C.

I got this one a month ago. Love it, I got M , very warm.

I am tiny at 5'6" and 105 lbs but the length is perfect and I don't feel overwhelmed in it. It's warm and easy to layer. The hood looks good up or down. I wish the cuffs had a soft, stretchy inner edge and I would have appreciated an option to cinch the waist slightly, but otherwise, I am happy to have this coat through the Vermont winter. Bonus, I snagged it on sale!

Warm, very roomy & great length. Love the side zip!

Ive spent about 2 winters looking for the perfect long park for New York City winters. Now that Im commuting back to the office knowing Im protected from snow/rain/wind is such a relief. Im already wearing this and I wanted nothing more than to feel like a walking sleeping bag, serious. I highly suggest to size down as I bought both a medium and small, and extra small fit me the best! Shoutouts to the staff at the SoHo flagship for assisting me with the sizing!

Long and warm. Light. It is shapeless but that doesnt bother me. I gave 4 stars because zipper is tricky at times. The front pockets are small. I wear size xs and it is roomy. If I wanted a more shape, perhaps xxs would have been better.

Very light feels like you have nothing on your shoulders.love it

Fit was great and a great looking coat. Unfortunately it was so thin I felt like it should have been a zip out liner rather than the coat itself. Very disappointed, especially for the price!
