This is the most Awesome coat I have ever owned in terms of comfort & warmth! I wish I have known about this coat years ago when I froze my nose&other things off in the freezing cold of New York City. I'm glad I made the purchase of two of these delightful coasts and would recommend it as a Great to anyone that is interested in coat that is lightweight, warmth & cozy!!

I got this coat at the end of last winter from this site and waited with excitement to wear it this fall. I got it in vintage white, which is a beautiful mixed color that goes great with browns, black, grey, beige and oatmeal. I go to college in upstate new york and had gotten compliments on this coat almost every single day that I wore it. so I was happy, but the stains built up very fast--with a shade of white that is inevitable...
the instructions said gentle cycle wash--which I did, and it is gone now. No down, it is flat as a fleece coat. Pretty unhappy and dissatisfied.

I live in Iowa, and trust the wind is bone cutting. I wanted a long down filled coat to keep me warm in these brutal winters, and I FOUND IT. I was a bit worried when it arrived and it seemed so thin and light compared to my other down coat which by the way was purchased over 10 years ago.
I am so happy with this coat. I do wish the zipper was longer, like down to my knees as there is a big gap there, but I just turn my back to the wind.
Oh, I am 5'9" and the large was a perfect fit. I can even layer my clothes.
I highly recommend this coat

What happened to the loft in this coat? You can talk about the number 700 for goose down but if you don't put enough in the coat the number means nothing. Thank the Lord I hung onto my well worn 7 year old chalet coat; the one with loft. Yea, a lotta loft is bulky but it does the job on below 10 degree days. I've ordered several different long down coats this winter and sent them all back because they were all like this; even the new version of the old coat I still wear. Fashion sucks..... I was looking for warmth. Too bad, I liked everything else about this coat - length, fabric, hood with its flip out fur trim and snaps.... It will be interesting if this truthful negative review on this North Face Triple C down coat will be posted for more than 5 minutes in order for anyone to read it. I'll be watching.

I just returned this coat with great regret. Thought it would be as warm as my worn out Chalet Coat that I lived in as a school bus driver and winter car-camper for the past 7 winters. What ever happened to loft??? You can talk about your 700 goose down but it means nothing without 'loft'. Loft means the amount of fill and I found this coat no where near as warm as the old coat. Loft is not there and I've tried several different manufacturers of down coats this winter and they've all gone back. I froze in everyone of them when it got down around zero except for the old war horse I will continue to wear until I can find something, probably very expenseve, to measure up to the coat I bought so long ago. Screw fashion... I'm looking for warmth. So disappointed.... loved the length, the great hood with its snaps, fur trip that pulls out in storms and the look of it. Darn it..... put more down in it and it would be my perfect coat.

It's really light, and warm. I usually wear medium size, but this coat is little bit big to me, so I exchanged it. Now I have a small size, it's perfect to me. But it's great. I don't worry about this winter in NY.

I bought this coat at a store in wash dc in nov 08. Best buy ever. The length of the coat is ideal for winter. Most winter coats end right around the knee, and there is usually a few inches around the knee that's neither covered by a coat nor boots and gets really cold fast. So with this coat, i got rid of that problem. I wore this almost every day last winter - for work, for nights out, for long walks out with the dog. My other winter coats did not see much action as a result! We had a very cold winter in 2008/09 (by dc standards) - lots of days below freezing. I wore this coat to Obama's inauguration in January - layered it with sweaters that day but I was very comfortable in like 10 degree weather for almost 8 hours outside! I am 5' 3" and usually wear a size 8 and am curvy - surprisingly, the Small fit me very comfortably and i can layer with that too. In other North Face coats, like metropolis, I usually have to go up to a Medium, so this coat is probably a little more generously cut. It's super light (esp compared to other down jackets I have had from companies like Galleria, DKNY etc.),so you don't feel bogged down at all. But it keeps you very warm. Highly recommended. I just ordered one for my mom.

I have spent years looking for the perfect coat - and I found it here. This is the only coat that works 100% during wintertime in Norway. The light, warm coat is keeping me warm in the cold, all the way down to my toes - that is what is so great about it! It also works great as a scooter coat when the cold winds make even small scooter rides uncomfortable.

I love this jacket. I bought a size Large and I am 5'9". The medium fit great too, but the large was longer in the arms and about 2" longer in length. The only thing I wish they had done was put a button or a snap on the part that opens on the botton.
Another nice thing about this coat is that it is very light and easy to move around in.

I gave this to my (perpetually cold) wife for Christmas. She LOVES it. The off white color (sort of a soft white putty color) is not the easiest to keep clean, but she is warm and happy, and so my job is done. Besides, it's easily washed. Great deal on a great coat, it'd be tough to top this.

I don't get it! Do I have the same coat everyone else is talking about? I have wanted the Triple C for 3 years, finally got it, and it arrived yesterday. Totally disappointed! I have the 700 fill Nuptse and expected it to be comparable to that, but it isn't. How is it 700 fill when the arms are as flat as a spring jacket? I live in Wisconsin and took my dog for a 15 minute walk this morning. I had on long sleeves under the coat and could feel the cold breeze through my sleeves and back. I wanted to love this coat, but North Face bombed on this one! After some research, I noticed they changed the Triple C. It used to be much puffier with larger pockets for the down. That's the coat I thought I was ordering. The only way I would be able to stay warm in this coat, would be to wear another coat underneath it!

i spend my winter vacations in the adirondacks, and the temp difference between los angeles and there can be painful. this coat has been a life saver for me. i'm 5'3" weigh 120, and i got a medium for layering. it does come all the way down to my ankles, and the sleeves are slightly long, but i prefer it that way. i usually wear a sweater under this coat, and the fit is very comfortable, i wouldn't want it smaller. very thin, light coat, packs very small if you need it to, but very very warm. i never get cold now.

I bought this coat bc I saw it on a lady last winter and thought out loud "That looks like the warmest coat." And her reply, "It has changed my life." So I decided to change my own life. I am one of those always cold people so now I am braving the bitter Chicago cold with my very long down coat and loving it. With the help of leg warmers though, it gets breezy down around the calves where the front doesn't close. I am a slender 5'4" and the Size Small coat does look a little bulky but I don't care. This is as fashionable as it's gonna get when you're going for warmth! I can easily wear many layers underneath as well without feeling constricted. Now everyone who sees me thinks aloud, "My what a warm coat."

I was so excited for this coat to arrive and yesterday it did. At first, I was a little put off because it felt so light and thin, but I thought to myself...maybe this is what the hype is about so I ignored my gut feeling. So, this morning, I put it on and was ready for the cold in this new fancy coat and boy was I disappointed! I immediately felt how cold it was walking to the train. I could feel the wind through the coat, and when I just got to work and took it off, I can see feathers coming through the seams. After reading the other reviews, I'm convinced mine must be defective because everyone else swears by it.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. Sorry!

a little bit disappointed in the lack of down in the shoulders and upper back. I spend a lot of time outside in the cold and hoped this would be the only coat I needed, but I find I need a down vest to keep upper body warm in wind or cold...kinda bulky...seems like an easy fix and something most would appreciate.

I ordered this coat due to the good reviews in extremely cold weather. I am a cold-natured person naturally and I am very happy I listened to the reviews. The coat is very lightweight which is wonderful and not too bulky so easy to bring when shopping or stuff in airline luggage. As soon as you put it on you can feel the warmth. I also bought it because I wanted more warmth around my legs while in my truck. It does it's job-and well-my legs stay nice and warm. Upper body warmth is not an issue, no problems even in the repeated -10 or -20 plus windchills we've already had here. It has been such a cold winter here in northern WI and this coat arrived just in time. I don't worry at all when wearing this coat about getting stranded when going out in a snowstorm or on cold nights. I look forward to wearing it on a regular basis for the next couple of months!

I was so excited to get this coat!!! I had previously purchased tnf parka and sent it back because it was not warn enough and was like a dirt magnet so opted for this one. Just got it today and just came back froma long walk with my dogs in 19 degree weather after snow here in Chicago. I was wearinbg a long sleeved t-short, sweater and the coat and was not warm, especially on the arm, there is hardly any down in it!!! I also have an LLBean long down coat, have had it for 5 years and just purchased a new one and with that one I can go out with just a t-shirt and the coat in colder weather and I am nice and toasty and it's $100 less!!!!
I really really wanted to love this, but I just don't, for the price it should of been a lot warmer and puffier, once again I am dissapointed by TNF down quality.

This is the best jacket purchase I have ever made! Not only and I always warm, but I get compliments everywhere I go! Wind and cold can't touch me and it is perfect for walking across MSU's huge campus in the freezing cold! I would recommend this jacket to anyone who lives where there is snow. The first thing I noticed about this jacket is that is it super light weight and thin yet amazingly warm. Even though it does not say it is water proof and wind proof it certainly is! You can't go wrong with the Triple C!

As far as sizing, I am 5'4", 125lbs and ordered a small-it does run a bit large, the top fits fine-just right over a winter sweater, the hips and below are a generous fit...

I bought a size large, it was too long and dragged on the floor. I had to return it.

This coat is awesome! I just moved to the East Coast from California, and I'm used to being outdoors all the time. I can wear this coat and be out all day long without being cold. It's lightweight and warm enough by itself that I don't need a bunch of layers underneath. I recommended this coat to my sister, and she bought one immediately. She loves her too. Yay for North Face and BackCountry!

Received this coat yesterday during a snow/sleet storm and decided to put it to the test. Took my Aussie, Maggie out for our walk. Assumed it would be a short one due to conditions. We were out over an hour and I was toasty warm the whole time!! Fit is great. Length is great. Feels light as a feather! (get it??) Anyway if you are on the fence about this coat I would recommend that you go for it. I am very happy with it. And Maggie gives it a four paws up!!

Super warm. Got it because I already had the shorter version from last year and loved it. Really light weight, but warm.

On the one hand, this coat is fantastic -- exactly what I wanted! I am 5'2" and was worried it would be too long, but it was not. I'm small, 109 pounds, but got the SMALL vs. the XS so I could wear layers underneath. I do think the XS would have been snugger in the shoulders than I like. The problem is that the top part fits nicely, room in the shoulders etc., but the waist begins just above my hips and flares out so I look kind of like a little girl wearing her mommy's coat. Even my zero-fashion-interested husband thought it looked odd. Also, the sleeves were long for a shortie like me. The Metropolis (shorter) version fits more normally, but man I really wanted a longer coat! So -- fabulous for a longer-waisted gal with hips. I envy all those whom it fits! Enjoy!

Excellent!!!

i am 5'5" and approx 160lbs and just want to know if this coat is avail in canada?

I think the jacket overall is good. It's lightweight and looks good. Unfortunately, it's not as warm as
I expected, but I does keep me warmer, then my previous coat. However, it is too long and it makes it sometimes uncomfortable.

Bought this coat for my wife. She loves it hands Down.
Same comments on the sizing had to swap for a smaller size.

For someone like me come from subtropical country, it is a perfect gear to survive in snowing Chicago!

I have been wanting the triple c for 3 years now and finally bought one last month. It is the best coat purchase I've ever made! I have been wearing skirts to work and only one layer last week with temps ranging from single digits to low 30's here in Chicago and this coat has kept me nice and toasty. The thing I really love about this coat is that it so so light-weight. So it keeps you warm with not all the weight of most winter coats. I'm seriously thinking about ordering one in vintage white - I bought black the first time.

This coat is really warm and light weight. This was my first time purchasing from Backcountry and it was such a great experience, the website is great and user friendly. I have told everyone I know to shop there.

I bought this coat in the charcoal heather color. I thought that it would be alot warmer since its 700 fill. Its so lightweight, it seems more like a liner for a coat. It is thin and didn't even keep me warm in 27 degree weather when I tried it on when I got it and wore it outside for a minute. It is being returned.

I live in PR where the average temperature is 80 degrees and i was tired of going to the States for winter vacation freezing to death. I looked at the girls that looked comfortable in their jackets and read North Face. I knew this was the jacket to buy. I entered the internet and surfed but was doubtful regarding the warmth provided as well as the sizing, as we just use one layer all year long, light. The comments provided reassurance and the information I needed. Warm even in Chicago's windy weather and true to size. I went ahead and bought the size 12 and guess what! I tolerated the 12 degrees and windy Chicago weather with just a sweater and muffler underneath and it didn't flatten me in the chest area 39 1/2". I am not disappointed at all and am planning to get a short one for 30 to 50 degrees. Thank you for such a nice store.

I read reviews over and over about this coat and the majority were positive so I went ahead and purchased it. I am very pleased with the purchase! Very Warm coat...(not necessarily made for extreme sub zero coat) but I live in Chicagoland area and this coat does the job without having to wear lots of layers! Not to mention I have received many complements when wearing it. Everyone likes how it looks and that it is not bulky (aka the George Costanza Gortex look). Very attractive stylish coat and keeps you warm. BackCountry was excellent to deal with as well.

I work at a university where you park your car no where near close to where you work. This coat is amazing - so warm, and much lighter than it looks. Even though it cost as much as one of my car payments, it was worth it.

This is absolutely the warmest coat! Almost too warm when you have to go inside. The weather has been below zero or single digits lately, and I have not been even slightly chilled when others around are complaining about the cold.
For others that have asked, I think the sleeves are on the long side. I folded my up a little even.
I did order the Vintage white, I couldn't decide on a color, but kind of wish I had chosen another, since this one is getting dirty. I have been extra careful getting into and out of the car and will probably get tired of that soon, but more than anything I have noticed makeup rubbing off on the collar. I have started to wear scarves to try to stop this a little, but ultimately wish I had picked a different color.
Overall wonderful coat, I will buy one again when this one is done.

This is exactly what I have been looking for: truly warm, all the way to the ankle, and much more flattering lines than one wouldexpect from a down coat. Well done, North Face!

NY has been getting some pretty cold weather over the last few weeks, but the other day I wore a short sleeved shirt under this coat and braved my commute. The only areas of my body that were cold were the areas not covered by this coat. Don't be fooled, it looks and feels REALLY light and un-puffy, but trust me, this coat keeps you super toasty! And the best part is that it isn't so thick that when you go from 20* weather into the warmth of a bus or office that you immediately break out in a sweat. I'll never buy another winter coat!

It's been 22 degrees below zero here with wind chill and I have been warm in this coat. One of my best purchases ever!

This coat is super thin but so warm. Previously I owned a down coat of the same length purchased from a thrift store; however, it was too big and twice as bulky as the North Face Triple C. For cold Chicago winters, a woman needs something that will block the wind which can cut right through me. What a great deal, great style and great color. (I got mine in taupe green!)

I got my jacket yesterday and was excited. However when I put it on, it was TOO BIG. :( Going to return it and hopefully an xsmall in black will come in stock. The jacket feels very warm. Definitely a must have.

Thought this coat would be adequate for above zero F, but I was wrong. The down may be 700, but the density is so low that I was chilly and the temp was in the 30's! THe length and zipper function are great. The fit is true to size, but for the price, it just isn't warm.

I have 2 other NorthFaces, both 650 goose and they are warm and a little thicker. I was stunned to received this coat and see how thin feeling/not bulky it is, yet be incredibly warm! It's by far my warmest coat, fits true to size and washes just great. I washed it in cold water in the machine this weekend and laid it flat to dry, it fluffed right back up. It really is a then feeling coat but super warm...I walk to the train in NYC daily, so I need it! My only dislike would be that the hood strings are a little tough to tighten... need to take your gloves off, etc to access the clip thing on the strings to make the hood tighter around your face. All in all, this coat is an A+. I have it in the green which is nice because it's a little different...more like an army green color.

This coat is excellent. It has a hood, it is down, and it is long.

Had a great DKNY jacket from Macy's that I loved more for $79.99. The zipper kept breaking, hated to part with it but had to return. I did not rate it with 5 stars because the price of this jacket is very high and when I did a chat the agent told me it was not going on sale. A couple of weeks later I saw it reduced. Now I purchased it in black, and saw the reduced one in white, so I was not sure if the black was on sale as well. I bought it in April and it was still pretty cold in New York. So I hope it will keep me warm next winter when the temps are like 0 degrees out there.

My husband bought me this coat so I could walk comfortably outside between classrooms during the winter. I love how I can put the hood up and snuggle down in and stay warm even on the -20 windchill days. I also love the length, how it covers my legs and keeps them warm. It also has an attractive silhouette and doesn't feel too bulky.

The coat is excellent for freezing winter days, and is unbelievably light so you wont feel like you're carrying a heavy load when you put it on. I only got it because i have night classes all winter long and have to walk from my apartment to campus. I have to admit it feels a little embarassing to wear for a fashionista like me!

I AM A 39 YR OLD STRAIGHT MALE WHO ABSOLUTELY LOVES DOWN CLOTHING.IS WOULD IT BE FEASIBLE FOR A MALE TO WEAR THIS?

is it possible for a male to wear this?
