Providing exceptional thermal warmth, The North Face Metropolis Parka for women with an extra-long cut creates a full-body shield from frigid weather.

The highly water resistant design offers plenty of goose down insulation, so you remain dry and warm even when everything around you is wet. The Metropolis Parka also has an "Electronics acceptance system"--a term that The North Face uses to explain that the jacket is ready for your music player or cellular phone system. No matter how or what you play, the Metropolis is a fashionable and highly functional design that looks right in the city or way out in the countryside.

I give it a 5 plus
I love it.
It is so lightweight and warm.
I want cold weather all the time so I can wear it.
AWESOME COAT
I absolutely love this coat. More expensive than I normally would spend, but so worth it. Goes with all my clothing: super casual, casual and dressy. Lightweight and not bulky like most down filled coats! I'm 5'4" & 130 lbs and ordered a medium....fits perfect!
Awesome coat
I just love this coat! It is totally lightweight and I initially wondered how warm it would be. Turns out that despite it's weight, it is SO warm and great for even really, really cold winters in NYC!
Awesome coat
I love this coat. It keeps me very warm and light. Very worth the $$ paid on the coat. I got it in the cherry stain and the color is just amazing. XS fit very well. I'm 5'2" and it was perfect for petite framed people.
I LOVE this coat!
I bought this coat in Ink Blue (this is the only one left when I bought it at FULL price). When I got it, I fell in love with this coat immediately and felt happy that it's worth every penny i spent. The color looks great: deep blue with shimmer, which is suit for both office and casual occasions.
I am 170cm and 113 lb. Small gives me more room for sweater and layers, though I think XS may look better.
TNF and Altrec never disappoint me!
Just right for the weather
Today is the first time that I had put on my Metropolis Parka and feels just great for this windy weather I wasn't cold at all, I would recommend this coat to anyone.
Great coat for New England winters...
When I wear this coar I feel like I am wrapped in a down blanket. It's warm and cozy and best of all very light. I love the ink blue. What a change from wearing black!
Great Jacket
She loved it...Living in Wisconsin it is warm and stylish
my favorite coat
Really enjoying the warmth and comfort of this,lightweight coat. Snow & rain don't penetrate the exterior. Very comfortable while driving, not bulky, love the ink blue color.
Best jacket I have bought
Love my jacket. Only thing it was missing was a sleeve cuff. The color new taupe green is beautiful. I live in Wpg Canada and it has been colder here this week than the north pole. -48C and I was toasty warm.
super coat
It's super warm, but it doesn't weigh a ton. Best winter jacket I've owned.
Great Coat!
I got the jacket in ink blue after altrec ran out of the brown, but I am happy with the results. The jacket is pretty tailored and hits right up the knee. Its fairly light, or maybe I just think that because I am in Boston, since it is only a 600 count for the entire body. However, it is an overall great coat and great quality and I definitely recommend it. I am between 5foot6 and 5foot7 and around 140lbs. a small fits well if you want it to be tailored. If you want more room for layers you may want to consider going to a medium. overall great jacket!
Love It!
This coat is super light and thin! I almost returned it before opening the package just by judging the weight. I had to test it on a 25 degrees(F) and very windy evening on our balcony with just a T-shirt and long johns on for 15 minutes, and surprisingly kept me warm! At first, I wasn't crazy about the ink blue color, but now I'm loving it as it is not very common. I mainly purchased it for Inauguration day, but could not wait til that day so I wear it every day and put my leather and wool coats away!
Great coat
Love it! Got small black and I do really think it is true to size. I would have ordered the x-small considering all the reviews but it wasn't in stock so I went for the small. I tried an x-small at a local store and I felt it was really short on length and very tight. Great service and price from altrec!
You'll like it!
I expected to need an XS -- as it turned out the XS was snug in the shoulders and even the hips -- I am 5'2" 110 or so pounds. Usually a size 4, sometimes 2. The Small is much roomier, I can wear layers.
Waited a year for this coat since it went so fast last year
Bought this coat for my daughter, a young mother in a cold climate. She's wanted it for a year and it was worth the wait. People stop her to comment on what a great looking coat she is wearing. She loves it. It's always her first choice from the closet. I couldn't be more pleased with how happy she is.
Great coat!
This coat is great! Super light but very warm. I'll be perfect for Chicago winter. I bought vintage white and love this color. I'm 6' tall but I chose size medium which was a good call. The sleeves could be a little bit longer but other than that it fits perfect. I would highly recommend this item.
Just what I wanted!
This coat is exactly what I hoped it would be! It's a great length, color and fit. It's very light weight and has a nice rather fitted shape also!
EXCELLENT!
Drew in customer service tracked down this coat for me and it was VERY hard to find. I was so happy and would highly recommend your firm! great customer service!!!

I love this jacket
I saw this jacket and I had to have it for après ski. Not only does it look great, it's really, really warm. And, it's so light that you can roll it up in your bag and never know it's there. I wear it at home on cold nights and après ski. The length is perfect right above the knees. It can be worn very casually or over a suite for work. And, because of the light weight it's perfect for traveling. The North Face as come a long way!!

Great coat
Living in New England I really needed a long and warm coat but didn't want something really padded. When I first saw the coat, I couldn't believe how thin and light it was and really didn't think it would be warm enough but it is. I love the style of it and the fit. It is very fashionable and I have gotten lots of compliments on it. I wasn't sure whether to get Med or Small and got small. (I vary between sm and med in clothes). Down size if you are not sure. I tried on the medium since in another store and the sleeves are too long. I got the cargo green and just love it. You really can't got wrong with North Face products and I know it will last me for many more New England winters!!!

Excellent winter coat
Bought this coat for my wife as a Christmas gift. Wanted to get her one that was warm, light, and knee length. This coat fit the bill and she loves it. It is a great walking coat and even at -20c with a brisk wind she has stayed warm and comfortable. Great service from Altrec!

Worth every penny
I love this coat! It's super lightweight which is great since I travel from Chicago to the Pac NW and New England areas. My hands feel nice and toasty in the pockets so I never really use my gloves at all. I purchased the black in the xsmall (I'm 5'2", 102 lbs.) and it fits perfectly with still room to layer (not that I really need to since it's so warm).

Great warmth for its weight
There are warmer coats than the Metropolis but they tend to be bulkier and heavier. The Metropolis provides quite good warmth in a coat that is light, easy to wear, and actually flattering -- not puffy. A very good balance of comfort/looks with warmth. I have warmer coats but the Metropolis tends to be the one I wear most of the time. I just purchased a second one in another color. I am 5'3", 109 pounds and the Small fits perfectly over a light sweater. Runs a bit smaller than the Nuptse.

Perfect winter coat
This coat is extremely lightweight, yet very warm. I wear it to walk to work in thin scrubs and I have yet to feel a chill...in New England! It is fashionable and versatile!

Toasty Warm!
The ordered 'Metroplis Parka' arrived 1.5 days after ordering. The coat is warm, light and easy to wear. Being in a northern climate, northern Alberta, Canada, (land of snow and ice), I decided to attached fur to the hood. I am toasty warm now. I find the coat a bit big and the sleeves about and inch too long. I think North Face should consider making and XXS size. In the meantime I will enjoy the XS coat I have and hope it's lifespan meets that of my 12 year old, 600 down, jacket; it's been worn endlessly and still is in great shape.

FABULOUS COAT...AN ASSET TO YOUR WARDROBE!!!
This 3/4 length coat is beautifully designed, comfortable to wear, fashionable and functional. I purchased it last year in apple green, and was absolutely thrilled to purchase it this season in black. It is warm, comfy in the mountains; add a rhinestone pin and it works in the "Big Apple". I get so many compliments on these coats. GREAT PURCHASE TWICE!

The best dressy-sport coat around!
I've been wearing this coat in 20 degree weather and it is a wonder! I bike a lot and so I can vouch for its wind resistance. Also, the hoodie has enough room for my helmet, which is so AWESOME it makes me want to cry. Don't wear this coat in the rain, though, for too long. But do get it. You won't regret it.

Amazing coat with a style!
I am always cold. This coat is perfect for looking light and stylish. I love the combination of brown and grey. Most of all, this coat is ideal for Boston's weather. It is WARM!

Awesome coat!
I purchased the black version. I am in car sales in the flat-lands of Ohio. It has been an awesome addition to my wardrobe. It can get really cold and windy and I have been staying toasty warm. I was worried that the coat was going to be too small because sometimes North Face stuff runs small (for me) but this is actually a little bit big on me. I think it will work though with additional layers for winter. All around -- Terrific Jacket!!

great length & warmth compare to triple c or arctic parka
i have all 3 jackets but the one tops the other 2 simply b/c of the length & also the thickness (arctic is 2 thick & it looks chubby) while triple c is 2 long. overall, the best jacket!

North Face Metropolis Parka-awesome coat, so light.
I got a size small in vintage white. It looks so cute on, not bulky at all. I'm 5'3, 110 lbs, I was debating between a size small and the xsmall. I wonder if the xsmall would be too tight. Anyway, the jacket is amazingly light, which will make it easier for traveling on a plane. I hate carrying a heavy coat around. Great service on this website, Free shipping, fast shipment. Just awesome!

Great part of my winter wardrobe
Just what I was looking for for the next winter season. It is a warm yet light jacket that will prove very useful. The color is amazing, I decided to go with the moonlight ivory. Everybody loved the color, is white but not quite what people really seem to enjoy. It is a very comfortable coat, with lined pockets that will keep my hands warm when I forget to bring my gloves with me.
