Customer Reviews The North Face Tamburello Parka

So cute but very tight in armpits and around bottom zipper (so thigh area?) I am a typical size 4 and usually always wear small in north face.

Not an overly impressive coat for the price. These bidirectional zippers are awful. I kept a Columbia coat despite its awful zipper reviews but it was easier than this TNF coat. I am 5’10” straight build and am shopping for a coat for my mother who is shorter and curvier. I always wear Large in this brand. This XL fit me and was even snug around my small chest. The shoulders felt narrow too. I wear an 8-10 pants and M-L tops depending on the brand so I don’t feel like the chest/shoulders in this coat are a true XL. If I had any chest at all, I wouldn’t be able to get a sweatshirt on comfortably under this coat. I was trying it on with a TShirt. It was a miss for me. I definitely don’t think this would fit a very curvy figure well as it was quite fitted to my non-curvy bod. It’s VERY light and would be easy to pack. I feel like we will keep the Columbia VooDoo Falls 590. The zipper was easier than the reviews are saying lol The Columbia coat feels warmer with the limited time I tried them on around my house. It is similar in weight but does have the ‘puffer’ style to it. I preferred the smooth look of this TNF coat.

Lightweight yet quite warm. I love this jacket!

Warm but not too bulky. Love the slim fit. Great tailored look!

I am 5”5, 126lbs, bought a Medium. Light coat, perfect for layering over fleece and hoodies. Super comfortable.

This fits as expected, I am 5'5" and 130 lbs. I got the Medium and it fits fine, there is room to layer underneath and hangs nicely. My biggest relief about this parka is that it does not have the shiny non-breathable lining North Face is starting to put in their ThermBall jackets and parkas. I originally ordered the ThermoBall parka, but it came with this new shiny lining that does not breath. I wore both the Tamburello Parka and the TermoBall Parka in my A/C'd house for about 15 minutes each. But in the ThermoBall I got clammy and hot feeling right away. The fabric just feels sort of icky. The Tamburello has the same lining North Face has always used and was nice and comfy for the full 15 minutes in normal house setting. The arm width and length on the Tamburello was also generous enough to be comfy and layer. The ThermoBall parka has tightened up their sleeves for some reason. Taking this to Europe in the winter, so hopefully Tamburello will keep me warm with some layers underneath.

Perfect fit and very flattering style. Love the two-way zipper.

This jacket is perfect. Size is perfect, very warm & light weight. Love the color & look of the jacket.

Love the jacket. Not as warm as I thought it would be unless it's just me. Love the color more like silver to me. It's a thin puffer jacket so it's comfortable to wear not bulky. I thinks it's worth buying...

Perfect light parka. Does not add volume and keeps you warm.

I like the jacket but found the exact same one on Amazon for over $40 less so I returned it.

Used it right away on my seattle trip and im glad purchased it beforehand, its so comfortable,me and my daughter loved it which she ask me of she can have it for collegei guess i have to buy another one

Lightweight but warm. Love that it's hooded

Great!

Love this jacket. Lightweight and very warm.

This coat was beyond my expectations. The fit is very feminine. It is unbelievably warm in the very cold weather. I love it and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great coat! Keeps me warm and it not too bulky.

This Parka was great! I wore it to Germany in February, almost a year ago now, and it was very warm with just a sweater or micro fleece pullover under it. You do need to wear a knit cap to keep the hood up. It worked during some rain too, to keep me dry. I have been wearing this in winters now in Northern CA with no issues. It washes well. It is light but very warm, very comfy to wear, the double zippers are a great feature. My zipper does stick once in a while, I just rub a dry bar of soap along the zipper and it is fine. I hope they never stop making this parka, and never cheapen it.

With the Rosebowl game approaching i know i needed a warm jacket what better than The North Face. Love their stuff.

Light weight, but still warm, wouldn't be able to wear it on the coldest winter days (in Wisconsin) but perfect for warmer days and fall.

Great

This fits my daughter perfectly. It is warm and cozy but has a nice elongated, slimming look. Less puffy bulk. Love it!!!!

Love this parka - great color and lightweight.

This is the best! Super warm for this cold winter!

This is a beautiful, soft material, light weight, but still keeps you warm and toasty on a cold day.
