Customer Reviews The North Face McMurdo Parka

The sleeve length was too short for the M size, so I ordered the L size. The girth seems to be a little too big for the L size. But overall I am satisfied.

Nice parka, a bit wide on the belly

I bought it for my son who is in college in Chicago, hoping it will keep him warm. The jacket is also good looking

Love the coat. Stylish, keeps me warm when it's really cold. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because snaps on the hood lets air flow through and the adjustability of the sleeves is odd. But overall, I'm glad I made this purchase.

It is heavy parka but way too big and not fashionable to wear. It should be made to size. I think the small size ideally might be more suitable for someone who wears large.

5 stars if it was a little bit longer! But I am also 6'5. So overall great winter coat!

Nice color

Bought Parka 550 for my son and I like it so I had to buy myself a Parka 600. love the color thyme green

The was warm bc run a big bigger

Love this jacket! I have the women's version and it's kept me toasty warm for a whole year so far. Bought my boyfriend this parka for Christmas for an upcoming trip to Iceland, so hoping it continues to keep us warm there too! I did end up exchanging this color for the navy blue. I thought it looked a bit more brown than red in real life, and wasn't the biggest fan. However, the replacement shipped super fast and was delivered within a few days. Amazing service!

Good quality

It is a heavy jacket for winter but way too big for my liking. I think it could be made to look a bit more fashionable and sizable

Nice jacket but needs easily reachable chest pockets on the outside of the jacket. There are two "Alpine" chest pockets but they are difficult to reach, since they require the wearer to crunch their arm close to their shoulder in order to use the pockets. A simple solution would be for the pocket openings to be close and parallel to the center zipper. Then the coat wearer could simply reach across their chest, using their opposite arm (right arm to left pocket and vice a versa), to store away their phone and other objects, that they want to be easily reachable.

Great coat. Does run large so try on size before buying if possible. I went one size down and fits good. Very warm. I can wear below 20 degrees with a t shirt comfortably. Good wind and water repellence as well. Can also open zipper from bottom to give extra room while sitting or needing more ventilation. Competes with many significantly higher priced parkas with similar qualities.

My 15 yr old super tall and skinny son loves it. He's thrilled. A medium fit his 6'2" 135 frame. And seems like it will fit for a couple more years! My only complaint is the price!

Very warm and good looking coat. I haven't been able to put it through the wringer yet but it seems to be well made and looks like it will last for many seasons. I like the Velcro zipper cover vs the snaps from previous models. Multiple pockets give the wearer options on storing their belongings safely. The sleeves are a bit on the shorter side. I would prefer an internal cuff to prevent cold air coming up the sleeve without having to cinch the cuff down. Real fur trim on the hood would be a great upgrade as well as the faux fur is purely aesthetic and looks pretty cheap.

Looks very stylish and good quality. Suitable for my lifestyle:) the only drawback-seems to be not warm enough for our climate, but we have -40, so it's forgivable.

It's very warm and comfortable, definitely a great addition to the winter wardrobe for those nasty days

I like that the fur around the rim of the hood is removeable. It is a fashionable coat that is fairly warm. Overall the craftsmanship is good (not perfect as there are some loose threads throughout).

A stylish coat with some cons. First, the fur on the hood is poor quality, but more than that, the way the hood connects is poorly designed. It's hard to explain but I have to fix the position of the inner seam every time I have to put the hood on. Also, the interior of the pockets have the soft material on one of the sides only. The other side has the same material as the outer layer.

It's kept me very warm so far in the cold of a MN winter. Sizes go big, I normally get a large for my body type and it fits pretty poofy and wide but that's the only down side.

It's a warm jacket, size does run a bit big. Im 5'9 150lbs and a small fits me well. Front pockets and chest pockets are great. Side pockets kinda unless if you have stuff in the front pockets already, there's not much space to put anything else in. The zipper works well and smooth action.

light weight , very warm and flexible , the cons are , some residue from the insulation.

Everyday Minnesota comfortable winter parka. Because it's "breathable" I layer Northface vest/shirt underneath with -10 degrees temps and a north wind 10+ mph. Quality build, incredible no jam zippers with lots of pockets!

I had to get a new coat after my old one had to be retired. After purchasing this coat. I am really satisfied. It warm and stylish.
