- Is the Arctic Parka warm enough for very cold winters?
- Yes. The down and feather fill plus the long, hooded cut make it one of The North Face's warmest women's city coats. It handles sub-freezing days with a normal sweater underneath.
- Does it run true to size?
- It runs slim through the shoulders and chest. If you plan to layer thick sweaters, size up one.
- Is it actually waterproof?
- The shell is waterproof and seam-sealed, so it sheds rain and wet snow. It is not a substitute for a dedicated rain shell in sustained downpours.
- How does it compare with the McMurdo Parka?
- The Arctic is the longer, more structured and more weatherproof option. The McMurdo is slightly shorter and boxier, with a more casual look.
- Can the fur ruff be removed?
- On most versions the fur trim is attached and not removable. Check the specific style before buying if that matters to you.
- What should I wear under it?
- A base layer and a light or mid-weight sweater is enough for most winter days. The coat does the heavy work.
