The North Face Women's Arctic Parka

This coat is really warm and waterproof , it fits well. I ordered a size 8 and can get a jumper underneath easily. It was well Packaged and arrived in excellent condition with tags. I have purchased North Face coats in the past and they last for many years, I have two that are 10 years old and still look like new. Well worth paying the extra for a good quality coat.

I needed a waterproof, very warm and long jacket for the winter changeable weather in Ireland. This jacket is just perfect. Fully waterproof, tested in Irish rain. Very warm, sometimes even too warm. Feels like you have a nice blanket wrapped around you all the time. It fits perfectly according to the measuring table provided. It's not a very elegant jacket by design, but the fact that it has some pull on the waist helps to make it a bit more feminine. Totally recommended.

I got this to help through the 3 or so days of actual winter in London, and to have something to wear when visiting family in Northern Europe. I can say that this coat is warm enough for -20C! I wore it in London when temperatures were nearing zero. Somehow it didn't feel too hot. The only annoyance was that after unpacking it, I got tiny feathers stuck on my clothes the first few wears. Maybe go through it with one of those sticky rollers before wearing to avoid this. Nice fit too. I'm 5ft 7in, medium built and it hits mid-thigh. The fit is flattering and non-bulky.

I was looking for a longer length stylish parka jacket to wear on the 10 minute walk dropping my kids off at school that was both insulated and fully waterproof and this fits the bill. Most jackets are insulated OR waterproof – not both, too short or too long in length – or just do not look good. I’m 5’8” and 11st and a size 12 top 14 bottom and I got the medium. The large on me was far too big. With a standard jumper underneath, it sits nicely around my waist and falls to just above my knee. My first comment is about the style. Most of the other parka jackets I was considering have two large square front pockets. I didn’t want this look – I wanted something more sleek and this jacket has two zipped pockets in the side seams. It’s definitely a sophisticated rather than a utilitarian look. There is also an additional small pocket inside. If you a looking for a hillwalking jacket and need large pockets for maps/compasses etc, this may not suit your requirements. It’s fairly slim for an insulated jacket and doesn’t look like you are wearing a duvet! It’s warm and cosy. None of the feathers have escaped so far. The faux fur around the hood is very soft – not at all itchy like others I have tried. Two small quibbles. The sleeves are just a tiny bit short. If you forgot your gloves one day it would be difficult to hide your hands inside the end of the sleeves. I also think the hood is a tiny bit small. Other hoods I tried on came right over my forehead. This just frames your face so depending how you tighten it (there is a toggle adjuster) you might need something to cover your ears on really cold/windy days. It was a great price from Amazon with a third of the RRP and arrived earlier than expected. North Face is a reputable brand and I look forward to it lasting many years. An investment piece.

I love it. fantastic fit. Really warm and dry. 10 out of 10 for quality. Please note this is the new Parka II not the older version. Great price too.

Fantastic quality coat, sadly I had to return as it was too small, I would advise to size up when ordering as it does run a little small, I’m a size 10 and the S was just too snug on me

This coat is amazing along with the price from this seller. Dog walking I am no longer done up like a Michelin Man this coat over my long sleeve t shirt and a vest top and I was cozy and warm. No more freezing in the school playground waiting for grandkids, this coat is perfect

This coat is absolutely worth the money, the picture does not do it justice though!!! I do not normally write reviews, but this coat really is amazing, it’s not a heavy coat but keeps you so warm. I live right by the coast so can be extremely wet and windy, but is completely weatherproof as stated.
