I've seen so many people with this parka in New York City this year that I became a lemming and just HAD to have one. I received mine in ink blue, really lovely color, size M. Definitely could have gone with small but it doesn't matter because I find the coat totally inadequate in terms of warmth. The other reviewers who talk about how warm it is must be very hot blooded. It's lightweight and I guess lacking in loft. I've worn down parkas for years and years and have never felt cold. Until now. What's the point of wearing down if it's not warm and I need lots of layers? North Face, listen up! This is not worth the money -- you have a HUGE following, you owe us more than this.

I am cold ALL of the time and in this coat I have no problem when the harsh midwest winters come through.

I'm shocked to hear that. I live in Chicago, where the wind comes whipping through creating a below-zero windchill, and I find this coat to be incredibly warm. In fact, I've had one for four years, bought the longer one as well (love it), and am buying my second Metropolis. Love it!!!
