The North Face Arctic Down Parka - Women's

Item #TNF3729 | 1248 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Really Warm but bad Zipper/Seam design

By Ranked #689 - Women's Down Jackets October 11, 2009

2007/2008 model

After a year or two of wearing it, I had to give it to my local NorthFace store to send it back to the manufacturer as I couldn't imagine another winter trying to fight with the zipper!

Pro - really warm for cold, frigid Canadian winters - love the coat for the warmth factor.

Con - poor zipper design - the coat is really fluffy and I find that the zipper keeps getting stuck and grabs onto the fabric near the seam . Sometime it literally takes me 10 mins to zip up the coat or to unjam the part of the fabric that gets caught in the zipper.

I'll let people know the response I get from NorthFace.
