WARM AND COMFY
I live in NYC and recently it has been pretty freezing here! It seemed that every jacket I purchased, never did the trick of keeping me warm, no matter how many layers I put on. I finally decided to purchase the northface artric parka in new taupe. The jacket feels like you are walking in a big warm conformter. It keeps you so warm, you don't even need to layer! I definitley recommend this jacket to anyone who lives in a cold climate environment. the The lenghth is perfect to keep your legs warm and its stylish too.
This is a great coat!
As someone who is always cold, and worse in the winter months, I was constantly on the lookout for a really really warm down coat. Oh, yes, and one that didn't make me look like a linebacker. When someone suggested that this coat would fit my bill, I was skeptical. The store she suggested had some and I tried the coat on. Bought it for $50 less at Altrec.com and I am so so so happy in my toasty coat! Thanks, friend who suggested it and THANKS, Altrec.com
A good fit for me
I found this coat online and liked the way it looked and knew from the down percentage that it would be warm. I live in Connecticut where the weather constantly changes. I first bought the large but it did not allow room for a large sweater so I returned it and got an extra large. It totally fits perfectly and I love it. Be careful when ordering since the sizes fit true to form. I just don't know if it can be used professionally and casually. I have only used it casually and don't know how it would look with business atire.
Well worth the purchase -
With subzero temps in Chicago, I was concerned that this coat wouldn't be warm enough. It is! The sizing is good, as I wear an 8-10 jacket due to broad shoulders and back. The medium fits fine and I can even fit a light sweater under it. This type of coat does not need layering...it's toasty all on its own. Great purchase.
Great coat
Great product. Arrived in good time. Free shipping was wonderful. I got a small and it was just a tad bit big on me (I normally wear women's size 1); however, I'm not sure if I would have gotten an XS just to have ample room for sweaters and layering underneath. Altrec is reliable. I will be purchasing from them again.

Finally - a stylish winter coat that really is warm!
I'd almost given up on finding a stylish, non-ski down parka that would provide great warmth. But this coat has it all. It's super warm and has a very flattering cut. My only wish is that its hood was detachable. Other than that, it's a great coat.

Great coat but the size runs small
This is a great coat. Fits well and is very warm. Only caution is it seems to run small. I am typically a medium but purchased a large coat so I could layer sweatshirts, etc. The jacket fits well and hugs your frame for extra warmth, but there is not a lot of layering room.

Beautiful until you wash it
This is no doubt a beautiful jacket. It fits well, breathes well and isn't bulky. The problem occurs when you wash it. I washed it exactly as described and the fur trim got destroyed because it's not detatchable. Now I have to spend more money shipping it back to TNF so they can replace the trim. So, if you plan on never washing this jacket it'll be perfect for you. If not, you may end up with a $299.99 lemon.

Stylish & Perfect for the Weather!!
The Arctic Parka is perfect for the Chicago weather! I live downtown Chicago right off the lake, next door to the "Hawk" himself, and this parka makes living with him much more bearable. Altrec's service is absolutely amazing and I am 110% happy with my purchase!

Wise Investment - Buy Early - Fast seller
Best insulated down coat I've ever bought! I live in the Toronto area (which is damp and cold) and have been coveting this coat for over a year now, for two reasons: one, not all stores carry this style and two, it sells out FAST (I bought mine in Oct/2007)! Even on the coldest, windiest of days, I can easily wear a t-shirt with confidence knowing that my coat will keep me warm. In fact, it keeps me so warm, that sometimes I'm actually sweating! Not only do I looove my coat in Brownie Brown, but so does everyone else! While the 3/4 length is great, it's a pity TNF doesn't make it in a longer length like the Triple C. I also advise that you buy one size up, as this will allow you to wear bulkier items in comfort.

Excellent
The Women's Arctic Parka is awsome! I live in Missouri and the jacket is just right for our frosty nights. It's very warm! Just keep in mind that the sizes are true to fit. I'm 5"3', 137 pounds and the medium fits me perfect! Well worth the money.

SOOOO Warm
I live in the North suburbs of Chicago where the wind coming off the lake feels like ice. I can walk all over the city and feel sooo warm and toasty. Also, I had a hard time with the down look at first, b/c I didn't want to look puffy, but I am proud to wear this one, as it is fitted and girly.

Stylish parka
Great warm parka, I ordered a medium first because of the reviews but had to return it for a small. I am 5'3 average build. I wanted something that was fitted so I did not feel like I was wearing a huge parka.
great overall
this is definitely as warm as everyone says. but... the fur trim is what detaches. Not the whole hood itself. Therefore, there's no inner collar, and the hood hangs begind your neck, and so you need to wear a scarf in order for the back of your neck not to freeze off! Stylish coat, warm, no doubt. That's the one thing I'd re-design if I could.
This is what Canadians need!!!!!!!
Perfect for Canadian Winter particularly in Winnipeg, Manitoba. No worries on the windchill, keeps you really warm. A stylish down jacket.

poor fit
I usually wear a medium in a North face jacket, but I wanted the ability to layer so I ordered a large and it felt smaller than a medium. Also, the way the zipper was designed made for a less than smooth closure. Had to send it back...
Great make, poor fit
While the quality of this coat is excellent--it's super warm, really well-made, nice pockets, offers a clean non-puffer silhouette, and it's waterproof to boot, BUT it's definitely an odd fit. There is a lot of room in the chest (as if the fit model had fake boobs) and the arms are set strangely, so that there is an excess of fabric around the shoulders and armholes. Because of this, I am returning it (I ordered a Medium, I am a size 6-8), though it's super cute and would deliver on warmth, it's just not a good fit. I'm not sure if the Small would be a better fit, as it's out of stock.
