Warm and Stylish! Must Buy!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I adore my new North Face McMurdo Parka. It is by far my most warm parka. I am from NYC and it gets very cold during the winter months. This 600 down fill in this parka is very insulating but it also feels lightweight as well. The attention to detail of this parka is incredible. The stitching is amazing, the color options are great, and it looks flattering on all body types! There is also ample pockets to store your necessities, the faux fur hood can be detached, and there is even a trusty mask that can protect your face from the wind as well! This is a must buy for anyone that lives in a cold climate!! I think this coat outperforms some of the luxury $1000+ parkas on the market right now!

Never Again

I have owned and older version for years, lost weight and thought I would treat myself to a new smaller size. What a difference a few years make. The new medium I purchased is bigger than the large I already have. New coat is thinner, no removable hood, no sleeve pocket and no face cover built in the hood. I guess they made them better in Vietnam compared to Bangladesh. Extremely disappointed in this purchase. It is as if it is a knock off of my older McMurdo. Taking it back immediately and North Face is off my list of good, quality products.

Not enough features for the price

The jacket was oversized, even after I ordered one size down . There were no waist cinch cords which lets the cold air in. The pockets were completely unlined, I'd expect some fleece lining atleast for an expensive jacket. The hood is not removable, even though the fur edging on the hood was. It makes a lot of noise when moving around, it is the 600D material as per my understanding. Plenty pockets though. Six outside and one inside. I plan on returning it, had high hopes for it based on reviews but it won't suit my needs. Also, the reviews are pulled from NF website so the reviews are not exclusively written by REI customers.

Toasty Warm Parka, HOWL

The day I bought my McMurdo Parka I sat down by the Clark Fork River on a brisk late afternoon and I stayed toasty warm until the blue light of evening was upon me. Wonderful, it allows me to stay out in Nature longer and warmer.

And.. had to cut open the coat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The material next to the inside zipper pocket got caught in the zipper. It broke the zipper. I had to literally cut through the fabric with a large knife in order to open the zipper and get my wallet and other items out of the coat pocket. The material effectively locked up the zipper. A new coat and I have to cut it up to get the pocket open. Garbage design.

Definitely recommend this Parka

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned this Parka for 2 years now and I can't wait for winter to wear it every year. I absolutely LOVE this Parka. It is so warm, and breaks all wind, even the coldest arctic air will not get through this jacket when buttoned up to the chin.

Warm without being bulky

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My youngest hates to be cold. We have been looking for a coat that is comfy and warm without being bulky. This coat has great pockets and has kept them warm all winter!
