This parka lives up to all the claims provided by The North Face. It is comfortable and very warm, although too warm for the mild winter we are currently having in NYC. It comes true to size so order one size up if you like your coat roomy, although there is not much need for too much layering with this coat. The one thing that bugs me a bit is the fact that the coat seems to inflate when I sit and deflate when I stand. Not sure why this is happening but I am hoping it will stop with frequent use. Overall, I give it a 5 for best rating and am confident you will love it!
