I needed a heavier parka for Pennsylvania winters, and I found it! This is perfect for below 30 degree weather -- I tested that this weekend in Canada. It's a bit too warm for 30+ weather.

I'd say it is regular fit, not slim, but with the length, movement is a bit restricted beyond walking/sitting.

Would definitely recommend for a great, versatile winter parka.

This coat is perfect for any occasion. Weather I'm at the dog park or wanting to dress up and hit the town. I can always relay on this coat to keep me warm! It says its a slim fit, but i believe its a regular fit.

This parka is awesome! It is modern and sleek as opposed to the fluffy looking kind of parkas. The only issue I had was jumping into my husbands Tacoma with is zipped up, I had to pull it up to take a big step up, it is snug in the body so if you like space you would need to size up on this baby.

I freaking LOVE this jacket!!!! It is super warm, stylish, and fits awesome! The fit is more flattering for a female waist, and I also love that the hood is removable. I also love that the main zipper has a double zipper system so that I can sit sit in my car in my parka and not feel too smooshed and not able to move my legs around. 10/10 would recommend to any fly lady looking for a rad parka for casual wear and light activities, such as dog walks or hiking. I would not personally want to ski or board in this jacket however... just not the right style for that.
(I bought a medium in the black and I feel that it fits TRUE to size!)

I am pleasantly surprised by how lightweight the parka is. I bought Mackage and tried Canada Goose before but did not like how heavy they felt., as my movements felt very restricted. This parka seems warm. The zipper is actually smooth to me. I am 5', 96lbs, so the XS is a comfortable fit with room to wear thick sweaters. I wish the fur on the hood were a bit more full and would cover to the collar, not just the top half of the hood. I took out one star because of this.

That being said I added back one star for Backcountry's amazing customer service. After I received the parka, I noticed the TNF was selling the same parka for a bit cheaper. I contacted customer service and got price matched within a few hours. Thank you!!

I absolutely love this jacket, wore it in Aspen CO in 6 degree weather and it held up great. Runs a little bit big and I would size down, but otherwise it is amazing. Very heavy duty and a little bit on the heavier side for weight from the insulation but if you are wanting to be warm it is awesome. Pretty long as well, I am 5'7 and it hit my knees.

This is a very warm coat. I purchased this to wear for a winter trip to Amsterdam and Berlin where temperatures average 40F - 20F. Considering the insulation, this is still a very slim-fitting coat. The only drawback is that the flare is substantially wider than the photos show. Or at least, it was for someone of my build.

Most importantly, Backcountry's customer service is AMAZING. I'm going to purchase all my gear from here moving forward.

You will not be disappointed with this jacket. It is so warm (so warm), very cute (the gathered sides make it very flattering) and it runs true to size. The double zipper is handy for when I need to squat down to help my little ones or sitting in the car for long trips. I am SO glad I purchased this jacket.

I bought this jacket for sub-30 degree days and it does not disappoint. I wore it today in NYC where it was 5 degrees F with a real feel of -15. It keeps your body warm and protects from the wind.

I am 5'5 and 125 pounds and I got a small. I did not try on the XS but probably would fit as well since this one has a lot of room, good for layering. I will say that it is a 'bulkier' jacket (as expected with a warm parka). If you are looking for a more slim fitting jacket this may not be the one for you but it still looks great.

I would suggest this jacket to anyone who is looking for quality in the $300 range.

I would give it more than 5 stars if possible. I have drooled over it for some time and found the best price on Back Country so finally pulled the trigger. It is everything I could have asked for. Runs true to size, love the fitted waist, the cuffed sleeves are so nice, dark navy....not one of those "navy...really?" colors you can get sometimes, hood fits, very comfortable, warm. I could go on and on. Timely delivery. Will be back for more.

$300 says you can't get the zipper to zip with the first five tries.
for a cold weather jacket, you might actually want your customers to zip up.
ended up using the buttons instead.
while my friends were all hiking, i was struggling with the zipper.
and the longer i struggled in the cold weather, the more my hands were frozen.
even my $89 parka has a better zipper than my NF parka.
so incredibly disappointed and feel incredibly ripped off.

My sister loves it. She was a little concerned with it not having band to tighten it around the waste but the jacket gives a good body fitting look that looks classy. Super light weight as well for a jacket of this size!

I bought two of this jacket for family members this Christmas -- both the black and navy styles fit great, look great and appear to be high quality. Thanks TNF!

I read a few reviews about the zipper and neck of this jacket and I wish I would've listed to them. The zipper on this jacket is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. Each time I go to zip the jacket it takes longer than necessary, it constantly gets caught and the zipper won't move. After only have this jacket for 2 months and trying to yet again get the zipper uncaught from the jacket, the zipper broke in two different areas. For a brand like TNF I expect higher quality materials, very disappointed. In addition the neck of this jacket in front is extremely uncomfortable, when zipped all the way to the top it jabs into your neck. Only good thing I have to say about this jacket is that it is warm. Overall I wish I wouldn't have bought this jacket, my last north face jacket lasted me 10 years, I am done with this one after 2 months. Very disappointed.

I read reviews before ordering and ended up being happy that I ordered a size up. I am 5'7" and an athletic 150 lbs and I typically order a Medium in most products but decided to get a Large and it fits well. It's a tiny bit roomy, but gives me space for extra layers on frigid days. The coat is exactly what I wanted. It covers my thighs, is waterproof for stormy days, and it's very warm. Even with a cutting wind, it has kept me warm in Connecticut weather. I would highly recommend!

I bought this as a gift for a friend. This is what she said about the parka: “This parka is awesome! Warmest jacket I’ve ever had. Fits true to size, I even layered a hoodie underneath and still fit great! 10/10 would recommend”

I love this coat. The fit. The styling. But, after a year of wear, I am constantly covered in feathers. The pockets of full of feathers. I would return it for a new one because I think it’s defective but I can’t because it’s been a year. Super disappointed.

Highly recommend! The jacket is super warm but not too bulky, definitely worth every penny and has been great this winter so far.

I have larger hips but am smaller up top so I was worried about getting my regular medium size. It fits me perfectly with enough room for a long sweater and has a zipper at the bottom to give a little room if needed. It is so warm and the hood makes it even warmer. I love that it looks so sleek on the outside but still has the down on the inside to keep me warm. Highly recommend!

I ordered this coat in Large after trying on the medium in the store. The medium was tight across the shoulders, and while the large fits in the shoulders, it seems bulky in the waist. I wish it had some sort of adjustments around the waist to make it more shapely. Arms run down to mid hand which fits perfect. I love the fact that this is a 3 in 1 coat and am waiting for some seriously cold weather to try out all layers at once. Fall in the NE only requires one of the layers.
