Love!
This coat far exceeds my expectations! SO comfy and warm. We live along the lakeshore of beautiful Lake Michigan so the lake effect winter days can be terrible. This is a perfect coat for the cold winter days in the Mitten State!!!

Happy with Purchase
This coat is a great length. I feel comfortable wearing this coat both in a professional environment as well as for everyday errands. Though the coat is very warm, the material is thin and doesn't feel bulky. I can comfortable wear the coat in the car while driving for long periods of time and it doesn't feel bulky. North face products are expensive, but the quality is wonderful. I will buy this winter coat many times over.

Light but warm and cozy
Great coat. Toasty warm but light weight. It's wonderful to have the cozy warmth of a down jacket in a coat that can go out to dinner. Like the eggplant color too.
Great price and super-fast shipping. I'm very happy with this purchase.
February 5, 2012
Love this coat, I am a big northface fan, and the prices are the best around, but the biggest hurrah is for the great customer service and really fast shipping from Altrec. I had a few questions and not only could I speak with a representative right away but they were curtious and very knowledgeable and answered all my questions with that one call. Phenomenal return policy and I received my coat in two days. I will recommend this site to my friends and family. Thank you!

Worth It
I have been looking for a warm winter jacket /parka for a few weeks. After scouring many websites and products I found The North Face Women's Metropolis Parka. The quality is amazing and it is incredibly warm. I like the choice of colors and overall design. I like the fitted form but find that ordering one size up would give me a better fit. I would definitely recomend this product.

The Great Investment
I absolutely love my new coat! It fits perfectly! An excellent coat at a discount price. This item has become a family affair. Purchase this product. You will not be disappointed
Thank you Altrec!

Great Coat
This coat is the best I have owned yet! So warm and comfortable. Not bulky like others like it. Only thing I don't like, the upper part of the sleeves is way more roomy than the rest. Seems extra puffy in that area.
January 30, 2012
Got one for my mom, getting one for myself!
I love this jacket. It's light, super comfortable, and flattering to the body. I got one for my mom this winter, and she wears it everyday. I tried it on, too, and I loved it so much that I'm ordering one for myself! I got my mom a grey one, but I'm getting myself the purple color. I think it's a perfect jacket to wear it outdoors, and even to work! I definitely recommend this jacket!

Dress Up Parka
This parka is so lightweight and stylish I can easily travel with it without the bulk and weight of a typical winter coat. The best feature is that it is nice enough to take on business trips and look professional while staying warm. Great buy... it does run small however. I typically wear a Small (size 6) and got a Medium.... good move on my part as a Small would be too snug for my comfort.
January 29, 2012
EXCELLENT COAT
I just love it light weight but very warm comfy!!! i live in New Enland and take trips to Maine so this is going to be perfect! I am going to test it on 0- temps this weekend but i'm sure it will be fine, i drive in the car an had to take it off when its 20 degrees out cause i was too warm. You will love it!
January 26, 2012
Great winter jacket
I received this parka for Christmas and love it. I was ready to finally own a quality, warm jacket for winter. I received the eggplant color and it is a really nice shade of purple. I am 5'6" and weigh around 118 and the XS fits perfect. My only complaint about the jacket is that sometimes the zipper is a little difficult get started. So far the jacket has kept me warm and cozy.
January 14, 2012
Warm coat
This is the warmest coat I have ever owned. It keeps me warm in Michigan winters. I love the longer length. I have also received many complements on it.
January 3, 2012
Amazing Investment
North Faces as you all know are quite the investment, however, by calling it an investment, it implies that it has a great outcome given North Face's extended durability to last years without ripping or such. It is an absolutely GREAT jacket perfect for areas where it snows heavily to keep you protected from both snow and the blistering cold. It is a great investment at a great price at altrec.com
December 28, 2011
i love Metropolis Parka.
i love Metropolis Parka.
This is a great coat and keeps you super warm!
Super comfortable and moving around is easy.
I've also been in the pouring rain with it, and it's very much waterproof. Can't express how great the coat is.
It was 100% worth the money.
December 28, 2011
I absolutely love this coat! I got it in eggplant and the color is gorgeous. It's also very warm... even wearing it in windy winter weather, I don't feel any cold come in through the coat. It's not big and bulky like most winter coats, which is also a big plus! I'm 5'6" tall and weigh 140 lbs. I bought a medium & it fits perfectly.
December 22, 2011
excellent
I got this jacket so soon. it is perfect. I love it.
The north face always produces great products.
I bought another down jacket for my sister. and she likes, too.
December 12, 2011
great purchase
I am very happy with this purchase. I went with this coat because I wanted a longer coat that wasn't too long. My other Northface coat has lasted for almost 9 years and I was looking for the same durability. I got the graphite gray color and it's very nice- not too dark at all. I have worn it it the rain and it is water proof so that I stayed dry and the jacket wasn't soaked either. I have seen a couple of the feathers come out but other than that it's of great quality. It does fit a bit large, but I like that so I can wear a sweater underneath if I want to. I am 5'2" and usually wear a small shirt and I got the small size in this coat. The arm length is fine and it's just roomy enough to wear a sweater. This is a great investment.
December 12, 2011
Better than others
My wife has 2 others of these types of coats and this is the best... no bulk and really warm. It hangs perfect and she likes that it doesn't make her look huge like the others... don't waste your money on a cheaper name brand... get this.
December 11, 2011
Must have parka.
Excellent parka for east coast as well as west coast. Great for city or mountains. Very stylish, light and comfortable, not bulky, warm and true to size. The removable hood and high collar are perfect for cold and windy weather. Love the pocket for my i-phone and two way zipper. This coat is "must have" for a season 2011. :-)
December 1, 2011
Light and Warm
I ordered this parka because it looked warm and comfy. I especially like the length -- it falls just above the knee and keeps my seat thighs warm. The fabric is soft, the parka is very light and comfortable, and best of all -- the cut of this particular parka allows for freedom of movement while being flattering and non-bulky. I was concerned that the sleeves lack an inner cuff, but the sleeves are tapered well and a little longer than those of most parkas I own; this keeps my wrists warm and reduces cold air flow up the sleeve. I haven't had a chance to wear this parka in extreme cold or wet conditions, but I suspect it will be very warm with a light to mid-weight layer underneath. The sizing seems true. I normally wear size S but ordered a M to allow for extra layering. The M is a bit large (as expected), but it still looks great despite the extra roominess. There was a light drizzle today, and the water droplets beaded up on the nylon surface. I don't expect this parka to stay dry in a downpour, but it would be fine for misty rain or light snow. On the other hand, I might be surprised!
November 19, 2011
I love my new coat. The fit is pretty good (Small for a 5'6", 120lbs) but I wish the sleeves were a little bit longer. The length keeps me extra warm. It isn't puffy, it's fitted but I can fit warm sweaters underneath it.
November 18, 2011
good purchase
I bought it for my mother in a dark red color. It is comfortable, warm, very light and easy to wear, a bit expensive but hopefully will be useful for a long time though.
November 1, 2011
Love the coat!
I am a size 2-4 and the xs fits great. I would say if I got a small it would have been too big. Very stylish, warm and great quality! It is lightweight, but at the same time very warm. Definitely not bulky. Love it!

The Awesomeness of the Metropolis Parka
This Metropolis Parka is truly awesome. It is so beautiful. warm. really warm. One might think it would be heavy - but it is actually a light weight jacket that is uniquely tailored to meet the North American weather. It is no elegant enough to wear on special occasions, but it is business causal plus. Highly recommended with the great service of Altrec.
October 11, 2011
Great Hockey Mom Coat!
This is one of the best coats I have ever owned. Being in ice rinks most of the time watching my son play I stay warm and comfy! When traveling this coat is lightweight and not bulky. I own a long one and also a short one, this is a great length for when its not too freezing outside. I am 5'3", size 4/6 and it is a perfect fit! Highly recommend this one!
July 25, 2011
love this coat
i recently purchased the Northface metropolis and I couldnt be happier. The fit and length were perfect. I do a lot of driving so I really needed a light weight coat while sitting for an extended period of time and this was perfect. I am 5'7 and the longer coat reached my knees to keep me warm in harsh New York winters.
May 11, 2011
Long arms!
I am 5'11" and have trouble finding coats long enough for my arms. I bought this in a large, and the sleeves are perfect. It's a little big in the body for me, but it's worth it to have my arms fully covered. For that reason I wish there was a cinch waist, but I am still very happy with the coat without.
March 19, 2011
great parka
This is a very nice parka. It is stylish and doesn't look puffy. I'm a size 6 and ordered both a small and a medium to see the better fit. The small fit and the arms were long enough, but I felt like my pear shape was a little snug on the bottom half of the coat. The medium is definitely more roomy on my thighs. I like the way the hood can be removed and you can completely hide the connecting snaps. It gives the coat a sleeker look. The interior pocket is nice if I just want to run out with my ID and cash and leave my purse behind. I also think the artic blue color is really pretty.
March 14, 2011
Cozy
I love this coat. It's a little larger than I thought the medium would be, but I love it and there's room for sweaters if I want to wear them. I rode a bicycle in it the other day during a strong rain and it kept me warm and dry. I didn't expect it to be water proof, and it was!
March 13, 2011
Wonderful!
I just love this coat! So light, comfy and very fashionable.
The fit is perfect. Nobody can go wrong with this one. It is a winner!
The warm brown color is beautiful! I am very happy that I got this deal!

Women's Metropolis Parka
Perfect jacket for a cold winter. Brown color is gorgeous. Jacket is just long enough and looks great with pants. A bit of shedding during the first few wears but not too much. This is my third North Face jacket - I love their products.
March 6, 2011
Awesome Coat
I bought the bittersweet brown, the color is very nice, almost black. This coat is super cute and even very warm. I also like that its so warm but not too puffy like my other North Face Nupse jacket.
March 5, 2011
Best Coat For Winter
I have wanted this coat for a long time but it ws pricey. Then Altrec put it on sale. I had to have it. Free shipping was great and it came fast. Pulled it out of the package and put it on right away. What a great coat! This jacket is perfect for Illinois winters. Comfy and cozy. Not bulky! You don"t look like the Michelin man. Im 5'4 and 115lbs. I have several North Face coats. You can't go wrong with North Face. You will love this coat! Perfect for the cold yet stylish at the same time. Just Buy It!!!
March 5, 2011
Great coat
This coat keeps me warmer than any other down coats I've had, the detachable hood is great, the zippers are easy to manage and any dirt just wipes clean. I have also washed and machine dried and it looks just as it did when it was new. I will wear this until it falls apart, which after wearing every day this NY winter, will be years and years from now.
February 26, 2011
Living in New England, warmth is important and this Northface coat provides just that. The length is perfect and fit is true to size. I wear x-small for tops and small for bottoms so I odered the size small coat and it fits perfect.... there is enough room for sweater for very cold days. The hood has adjustable elastic cord that allows hood "hug" face for windy days. There is also a two way zipper that can be unzipped at bottom for sitting, it would be nice if there were side zippers as well.
The coat can be either casual or dressy.
Overall, I love this coat and would recommend it!
On side note, I had never ordered from Altrec before and was very happy with how quickly the coat was shipped. Would definitely order from Altrec again.
February 25, 2011
Great coat
This is my first North Face and I am very pleased with the quality. It is lightweight, warm, water resistant. I like the twill tape that backs up the snaps to make them more stable. I also like the hood that stays snapped on and zip pocket inside. I am 6' tall and it comes to just below my knees. I wear a size 14 in jackets and this fits great--although it is none too big in an XL. The sleeves are plenty long for me. I can wear a light sweater or fleece under it, but haven't needed to layer too much, as this coat is very warm. I'm hoping it will last for a long time as it is pricey.
February 24, 2011
new coat!
I have seen the Women's North Face Metropolis Parka worn by many women this winter. I really liked the way it looked. When the coat arrived at my house, I tried it on. I was not as happy with it as I expected. Since it is a puffy coat, I expected it to look a little big. I ordered an extra small. I am 5'3 and I weigh 110 lbs and I usually wear a small or extra small but it fits like a medium. The coat is thinner than i thought so it is not extremely warm. I like it but if I knew this before I bought it, I would not have spent as much!
February 24, 2011
Love This jacket
This is the first time I used this brand and I must say, i love it. It very warm and fit very well. I usually wear size medium but I brought size small and it fit perfectly.
February 20, 2011
Love this jacket!!!
I bought this jacket for the cold winters at UW Madison, and it was a great purchase! It is very warm, keeps the wind out, and has a very flattering fit. I would recommend this jacket for anyone who is looking for a stylish and practical way to stay warm in the winter!
February 18, 2011
Great Coat
After enduring two snowy and very cold winters in DC, I finally caved in and bought this coat based on the positive reviews I read. I was looking for something that I could wear daily, that fit me well, kept me warm, and could endure precipitation. All in all, I am satisfied but I wish I would have gone to a store to check out this coat first before buying it online.
I am 5'3 and weigh 115lbs, and the Small in swamp green was HUGE. Two of me could have fit in there and there still would have been some room. I exchanged it for a bittersweet brown in an X-small, and love it. It fits perfect. I can wear my north face fleece and another sweater under it and not look bulky at all. The wind whips right through it, so these extra layers are still needed unfortunately. But it's very comfortable, flattering, with a hood that doesn't quite stay on your head. It falls right before my knees which is a perfect length for walking to and from work daily.
I was very surprised by how light it was when I took it out of the box, feels like a light rain parka. It's great that it's not bulky but I wish it were a bit thicker. The feathers are starting to poke out, but hopefully that won't be an issue. All in all, great coat and I look forward to having it in my possession.
February 15, 2011
Nice Style and nice quality
I'm super happy with the quality of the coat and warmth it holds. The cuffs and the collar have soft material that adds durability, the buttons and zipper provide extra coverage in keeping the cold out! It's lightweight and super stylish!
The length is great for extra warmth on those cold morning bus stop waits.
February 14, 2011
"Coat of the Year"
By far this parka by North Face is the most comfortable, warm and well-fitting "coat" for the winter weather. It must be the the #1 coat/parka of the year. I saw many women wearing this same coat in my travels. That is a compliment!
It was my first purchase from Altrec and I am very satisfied and happy with the results.
February 9, 2011
Metropolis Parka
Like the coat very much, as I had to purchase the XXL it is great around shoulders but a tad tight in hips when zipped. The black has a slimming effect which I like. All in all I hope this coat continues to be a good fit for me. I thought a bit pricey, wish it would have been on sale since I just got it last week and I notice this week it is on sale.
February 9, 2011
as good as expected
Once again North face did not disappoint with this coat. Have one in black that I love. Fits well, wears well and is nice and warm without being too bulky. Didn't really need another but I couldn't resist this sharp midnight blue color. Great color! Love the look with jeans. Very happy with this purchase.
February 7, 2011
Warm even in single digit temperatures
Just purchased this coat and am very pleased. I just moved to a wintery locale in Indiana where there is a ton of snow and weather in the single digits for what appears to be months at a time. I was reluctant to spend so much and kept hoping to find something as warm, lightweight, and attractive for less money. I couldn't.
The blue color is very pretty and a nice change for all the black coats I see all around me.
February 6, 2011
Works for Me
This is my first Metropolis Parka. Living in the Midwest we need warm coats! I wore it in the recent blizzard and it protected me well. Having said that, please note that layering under the parka is essential. I wear a size 8 dress and although the medium has plenty of room for me, I do layer. I don't feel like a puff-ball, just warm and comfortable. My daughter has worn one for years and swears by it.
February 4, 2011
Great Jacket
I love this jacket. The only thing to be careful about is the sizing. I am usually a medium or even large (I'm tall and lanky) but I needed a small for this jacket. I am 5'9" if that helps you size yourself. The jacket is comfortable, looks cute, and definitely keeps me warm. Worth the money!
February 2, 2011
Super Cozy!
I bought this jacket when I moved from Los Angeles to Chicago. I still miss the California sunshine but things are a little more tolerable with this fantastic coat. I haven't been in a major rain storm so I'm not sure about how water-proof it is but I have done fine in th esnow storms and I can't imagine there being a more comfortable and cozy coat. Best money I ever spent!
February 1, 2011
Fine Product
Great jacket, although, arrived with a slight imperfection with the stitching. I would caution that some may find the North Face sizing runs smaller than average.
January 30, 2011
cozy and warm
This jacket is perfect for Canadian winters. Toasty warm and not too heavy! I find it to be a very flattering fit too. You can tell it is a great quality jacket.
January 30, 2011
Great Jacket!
This jacket is incredibly comfortable and warm. I am from Minnesota and it is the perfect cold-weather coat. It keeps me nice and dry. I really like the zipper pockets for your hands and the super soft fleece lining helps warm up numb fingers quickly. The zipper pocket on the inside of the coat is a great spot for an ipod or a wallet. Unlike some other down jackets, the lining of this one does not leak feathers. It has a very slim fit for a down jacket and does not look puffy and is not a bulky jacket at all. The quality is superb (typical of items from The North Face)! I would definitely recommend it!
January 28, 2011
Seemed nice, but not quite what I wanted
I thought this jacket was nice, but I was really looking for something longer (to my calves) and a little warmer for my commute. I traded this for the Triple C jacket, which is perfect for me. I think the Metropolis would be very handy if you want something warm, and waterproof that goes to about mid-thigh.
January 28, 2011
Great Jacket
Really love my North Face Metropolis jacket. Fits true to size. I ordered a size small and I'm 5'7", 120 lbs. Fits perfect and I am able to layer underneath, if necessary. Like having the option of the detachable hood. Color is moonlight ivory, which I expected to be whiter. It has a hint of silver to it.
I do think the North Face products are a bit overpriced. Since this is my first North Face product, the performance remains to be seen.
January 26, 2011
Good coat
I've enjoyed this coat so far. I tried on a lot of different brands with a similar style and warmth and like this one the best. It is tailored enough so I don't feel like a marshmallow but its not too tight fitting either. I live in Minnesota so it's nice I can layer under the coat and still have the sleeves fit. I've also found it to be warm. I walked the dog when it was 0 and I was comfortable with a t-shirt and fleece under the coat.
I would purchase this coat again and recommend it to friends.
January 23, 2011
My favorite winter coat
I live in cold winters and was looking for a down coat that was longer than a jacket, warm and comfortable without the bulk of down. This coat fit all my expectations. I like that the hood is removable for just running errands, movies, dinner out etc. The fit was true to size, I ordered the large and that is usually what I wear. I get lots of compliments on this coat. Well worth the extra money!!! Service from Altrec is always great.
January 22, 2011
I love my northface coat
I have never been more comfortable and warm as with this coat. I do not feel like a barrel as with some down coats. My granddaughter says I look cool in my coat.[the ultimate compliment]. The coat is so light it is easy to wear and to hold. I love my coat.
January 21, 2011
great coat
I bought this coat after much research...it had the best reviews and I trust NorthFace as a high-quality brand. I'm not disappointed! Very warm jacket, the only guess I have is that it might not stay bone dry in very wet snow or rain, but I haven't tested that yet.
January 18, 2011
Excellent Coat
As advertised. This North Face is exceptionally warm and lightweight. I'm 5'3 and the small fit perfect. I live in Michigan and so far this coat has kept me warmer than previous winters. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. Would highly recommend.
January 17, 2011
Worth it!
This is an expensive coat and I really hesitated before buying it. But it's exactly what I was looking for and I've had great experience with North Face outerwear (over the years I've managed to accumulate 2 down vests, a rain shell, and a soft shell). I don't think North Face is the best choice for technical gear, but for my day-to-day life it's perfect. Always fits well (I'm 5'8", broad shoulders, slim/curvy), looks good, and really holds up.
I bought this coat in blue. The color is more blue and less black than I expected -- it seems kind of retro to me because it's the same color as my mother's parka from the late 70s. It has the typical North Face combination of urban styling and practicality, so it will wear equally well in Maine or Manhattan (well, maybe not uptown). It's thin but warm, pretty slim-fitting except in the upper arms, and the snaps are great. I'm thrilled I bought it!
January 17, 2011
Love This Jacket
I love this jacket! I had one in black already and loved it so much I bought another! Its lightweight so you can carry it around with you. When you are wearing it indoors you are not overly warm, but the warmth kicks in when you need it to, in the cold outdoors! the length is perfect! I highly recommend this jacket(all all North Face)
January 15, 2011
Love this Jacket!
I have worn this jacket in 2 blizzards walking the dog many miles. Super warm and comfortable in the elements. The jacket dose run a bit fitted if you are between sizes I would recommend sizing up.
January 13, 2011
North Face Metropolis Parka
AMAZING fit...I only had 1 North Face vest to use as a fit guide and it's great to see such standard fit across products. This parka is warm and stylish, I've received SO many compliments on it. What I like is it's great in 40 degree or 20 degree weather! Well worth the $.
January 13, 2011
I like this coat
This is the first coat I've ever bought that the sleeves were the right length and the shoulders fit properly. I am about 5' tall and 130 pounds, a little stocky, and the coat is a little snug in the bust, but as long as I don't layer a lot it's not a problem. It is very warm and attractive. I wish I had been able to find something similar in an ankle-length coat, but no luck, at least within my price range. I would also have liked a faux-fur border on the hood, but that's minor and dates back to my beloved snow suit when I was five and living in Montana. I loved my fake fur collar! Overall I recommend the coat, 4 (out of 5) stars' worth. I've only had it a couple of weeks, so can't really attest to durability or waterproofness, but it appears to be well made.
January 10, 2011
Perfect 4 icy weather
Got a Metropolis Parka this winter for my trip to Vancouver BC. This parka is just what I wanted - warm and not bulky, breathable and water proof. The small size fits perfectly for a 5'4'' 125 lbs. body. However, I do find some feathers coming out once in a while. All in all, this is a great parka and I hope it lasts for a long time.
January 9, 2011
Warmth is love
My husband bought this coat for me for Christmas - in blue. I love it. I'm 5"6, 120 lbs and the small fits me perfectly. It's fairly slim-fitting for a down filled coat and it keep me nice and warm in the cold midwest winter. I even wear it to work over my dressy clothes and it looks perfect.
January 8, 2011
metro. parka
Love it.
The only thing is I think it looks a little big. I am 5'6'' 130 lbs and a small seems to fit big. I think I will keep it though. Not sure how much smaller an extra small would be.
January 7, 2011
Stylish and ultralight
The coat was really light which is a huge, bonus.....I had been looking for a thin, lightweight coat that is warm and I have finally found it. Other coats that I've tried on are too bulky and difficult to move in, but this one works great. I also loved the color, artic pool blue. It is neutral enough to go with everything, but just a little bit different from your typical black. Fit for me was as expected. I am a medium, average build, generally and a sweater fits easily under this. I also think the hood is essential. I have young kids and never seemed to have something to cover-up, so for me, a hood was a necessity. Very happy with this purchase.
January 6, 2011
I always wear Metropolis parka
I love this parka. It is really cozy and warm. I always wear this jacket at my kid's swim meet during winter and skiing.
I recomand three of my friend this parka and they even love it. Somtimes we met at coffee shop, we all wear same parka. it is funny. I like color ink blue.
January 6, 2011
Worth the price
Easy to wear in all types of weather. It is hard to walk fast if it is buttoned and or zipped top to bottom as it restricts your legs. Deep pockets are awesome. Love the soft lining in the pockets and at the zip up the neck that way your skin isn't on the puffy material, it is soft and cozy. The hood is nice to have but could be a little smaller overall. It is kind of hard to see when it is on. It's not one where you can just pull up and it stays on your head perfectly. Lightweight and travels easy~ I see why this coat is so popular... it is a sharp looking coat but still really keeps you really warm!
January 5, 2011
Great Gift!
I ordered this jacket as a Christmas gift and it was the perfect gift. Fit well and my wife loved it!
January 5, 2011
Great jacket
I bought this jacket for my daughter. She loves it! It fits great, looks great and is warm and comfortable.
January 5, 2011
Stylish and warm! Highly recommend. Perfect for walking across campus in the tundra.
January 4, 2011
Love this coat! My two sisters and I all asked for it for christmas. We grew up in California but live on the east coat now. It's exactly what we need for those long cold winters.
January 3, 2011
Great coat
This coat is great! Just what I have been looking for. I am a teacher in Chicago and was looking for a coat that would keep me warm while doing recess duty but also cute to wear around the town. It is lightweight but extremely warm.
January 3, 2011
Great jacket!, I was in Switzerland and it was -4c. I just wore a long sleeve shirt and jeans, and put this jacket on top, I was totally fine.
