Is the Gotham warm enough for below-freezing weather?

Yes for typical winter city cold, thanks to 550-fill down and the hood. In wet or windy conditions, layer a shell over it.

How does it compare with The North Face McMurdo?

The McMurdo is a heavier, longer parka with more weather protection. The Gotham is lighter and less bulky, but less protective in wet snow.

Does the down lose warmth when wet?

Yes. Down clumps when soaked, so wear a waterproof layer over it in rain or wet snow.

Is it packable for travel?

Not really. It is a bulky winter coat that takes up significant space in a bag.

The jacket itself. No stuff sack or extra accessories are included.

Our take on the The North Face Gotham Jacket Women's

The Gotham is The North Face's city winter parka, filled with 550-fill down and built with a hood and a full-length front zip. It is aimed at cold-weather commuters who want warmth without a bulky expedition shell. Against lighter down jackets it trades packability for a longer, roomier cut and a more weather-ready face fabric; against technical shells it gives up breathability and climbing-friendly articulation. Owners generally rate it as a warm, everyday winter coat.
