The North Face Metropolis Parka - Women's

Item #TNF3731 | 1400 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Great looking but doesn't cut it

By Ranked #191 - Women's Down Jackets January 21, 2009

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.
