THE NORTH FACEWomen's Arctic Parka II - Vintage White - (Past Season)

After 50 years of marriage, I've learned all i need to know about a good present for her. Either she wears it or doesn't. She wears it.

I LUV everything about this North Face Parka II. I purchased the Navy Blue and the color is very eye catching and beautiful. I am 5' 2" and the coat hits at the top of my knees. I would have preferred it to be just a tad bit longer like at the bottom of my knees for coverage, but the length is okay and not a problem at all, because this coat does what it's supposed to do KEEP ME WARM. This coat is a KEEPER, extremely warm for the very cold and freezing temperatures we get in New York City. The coat is not bulky while wearing. (I've had the Metropolis North Face for 3 years and I'm always FREEZING in that coat on freezing temperature days, and I always feel the air going straight through it, so i have to add multiple layers for warmth and that is not ideal on any day). THIS North Face Parka II, you DO NOT need any layers because you will definitely be overheated. I LUV the design with the stretched gathering on the sides of the coat to give it a fit definition look instead of looking straight cut plain with no definition. I also like the way the inside of the sleeves are made with the stretch elasticized inner liner to prevent air from going up your arms. This coat is EVERYTHING! You can wear this North Face Parka II with a bathing suit underneath and still be very warm. REAL TALK!

I originally bought this jacket for myself but my daughter liked it so much I gave it to her. We moved to Minnesota so we needed a legit warm coat. I liked that this has a more defined waist so you don’t look like a shapeless blob. I’m 5’6” 155 and 34DD I really like the L but being that MN get to -40 I knew I’d need it larger to put extra layers under so I would have bought an XL for myself. The arms are nice and long and have inner cuffs that keep the wind and snow out. My daughter is 5’2” and 145 and curvy and the Large was perfect for her to wear several layers under When it turns Arctic. She says it has kept her warm (and she gets cold easily) and she loves the fuzzy hood.If you live in a climate wheee it only gets to 20 or 30 you can probably size down From what we have bought because you won’t need so many layers underneath. It has also performed well in the wind and rain.

Warm jacket took much longer to arrive than originally noted. Impression that this jacket was not brand new and had been worn.

Bought this coat recently and love it. This is my second time buying a NorthFace Jacket and I have not been disappointed. Live in the mountains in UT and lots of mornings the temperature is in the single digits. I can use this coat and still walk in the morning before work. Warm, keeps the wind out and waterproof. Appreciate that the fur around the hood is removable too. True to size.

I still don’t know how I feel about this coat. Ideally I wanted something that cinches the waist (I’ve searched every brand, every color, every length, etc). I’m very particular with what I’m looking for and I still haven’t decided that this is it. The closest I found was the North Face outer borough coat which has adjustable straps on each side of the waist, but I couldn’t seem to find my size and color (large, black- sold out literally EVERYWHERE) so I decided to give this one a try. I’m reviewing this item with five stars just based upon the fact that I ordered it and it is an authentic North Face, as advertised, same as you would find in stores. For the same price you’d find in stores, but with free two day shipping, free returns etc (I have prime). If you’re not as picky as I am with trying to avoid looking so “rectangular” when wearing a coat then you’ll probably love this one. It’s nice and warm, long, etc.

Bought this for my wife, she absolutely loves it! Initially, she was a little upset I spent as much. But, I own one also (men’s) and it is by far the warmest coat you have ever worn. We live in Ohio and it gets below zero here in the winter. You will not be unsatisfied with this purchase!

I bought two sizes in this jacket for my girlfriend's birthday. The large fit perfectly only if you do not plan on wearing winter clothes underneath! She normally wears a size large but needed to account for winter clothes. The XL is slightly loose but the plan is for sweaters, scarf, and other winter apparel. We cannot get a wonderful review because I purchased this in the middle of summer and she cannot actually wear until winter. However, this was too good of a deal to pass up! I looked at this coat during the winter months and the full price is every bit of $299 and up! I recommended purchasing this coat if you are a lady needing a good professional apparel winter coat. #LoveNorthFace
