The North Face Arctic Parka for Women

2022-10-17T20:00:00

This is an extremely warm, comfortable and durable coat. I use it in winter in the upper Midwest and it is the only coat that keeps me warm when it is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit and windy. I wear this coat all winter and early Spring in Chicago. I think the hood is great - the hood comes forward enough in front of your face to keep blowing snow off your face. I fold the fur back if it is not snowing. It is like wearing a warm, dry sleeping bag which is exactly what you want when it is below freezing out. I have one that is 10 years old and it looks new (I buy the black color because it shows no stains). I bought a second one 2 years ago because I could not find my original one in storage. Then I found the original one but kept both. The newer one was a bit less bulky and the outer fabric was softer so probably not quite as warm or durable but still very good. I think the stiff, thick fabric on the one from 10 years ago is probably more durable but the less bulky is more comfortable if it is not below zero outside. Both have held up like new. I am now ordering my third one because I gained weight and need a bigger size. The only negative is the when you zip it all the way up, the neck part of the coat hits me awkwardly under the chin since I am on the short side. So fully zipped my chin is inside the coat and the opening for the hood is around my mouth.

I've had this coat for 2 years now and LOVE it! I don't know what could possibly make the coat better. I saw a review bashing the big hood and that might be my favorite part about the coat. It keeps me so warm in these harsh winters and having an option to throw the hood on and be completely shielded from negative temperatures is amazing.

This coat is very warm and waterproof but the hood construction is bad. The hood itself is so big it's not usable. It flops over and covers my entire face! When the hood is not on my head it is so heavy that it drags the back of the coat down. I want to like it but I don't. Sad because it was so expensive. I thought I could get used to it, but I can't, so I don't wear it.

The product was as described. I was surprised how lightweight it was for the size of the coat. I can't wait to see how warm it is this winter.

This coat has a perfect shape, very good color and high quality fabric. I am very satisfied with it.

Love it, used in March in Iceland and feel warm with only a shirt under. Works perfect on rain or snow. I can't wait to use it again

Very thick and I'm sure very warm, but I did not love the material on this coat. It felt like every little thing would stick to it and that it would attract lint from anything. I had to return it unfortunately.

Love this coat! I teach 1st grade in Illinois. Kids need to be outside but I am not a cold weather person! This coat kept me warm. I love the cuffs on the sleeves, they keep the cold air out AND stay dry because the coat sleeve covers the part that is elastic-like on your skin. The hood is warm and will stay on top of your head (out of your eyes). The length of the coat is perfect! It does take a bit of getting use to reaching so far down to zip it, BUT keeping my midsection warm was the goal, so I will deal with the far grab to get the zipper to keep me warm! I wanted the puffy jacket warmth without a "puffy" jacket and this one was perfect!

This coat is warm and easy to move in! I coach 4 nights a week in the PNW and this coat stands up to the rain, cold and wind. Worth the money!

This parka is the best. If you're looking for quality functionality warmth comfort and breathability look no further this is the parka for you. This is the second Arctic I purchased and it's tucked away bc i also have the navy one which i have use daily for the past 2 winters. I don't have to wear a gazillion layers to keep warm i only wear a long sleeve light sweater or sweatshirt and i am comfortable not sweaty bc this parka has great breathability. A bit on the pricey side but worth every penny bc i can assure you will not have to buy another parka for a few years.

The parka itself is warm and long, exactly what I was looking for. The Medium, however, is a bit big, but the small was too tight through the hips for me. I'm 5'6 130 lbs.

I used this coat on my trip to Alaska! It was perfectly warm and stylish. It has many pockets to keep all of my things in and looks as advertised.

This jacket is super high-quality but also very flattering! It gives Canada goose with the hood too. The hood is removable

This coat is literally amazing. I almost didn't bring it on my trip and I'm so grateful I did. It's wind- and waterproof and super warm. It fits well and you can layer under, but really don't need to. Best purchase for my trip!

It is a super warm coat, but was a little disappointed when I received it in the mail because the middle snap holding the fur to the hood keeps unsnapping. For the price I was hoping it to last a long time.
