The North Face Gabbro Insulated Parka

Men's Clothing > Jackets & VestsRated: **** by 4 reviews.

When your hoody isn’t getting the job done and even your regular jacket can’t handle the cold, turn to The North Face Men’s Gabbro Insulated Down Parka. This puffy jacket features the warmth of 500-fill down insulation and includes a water-resistant nylon shell to hold off snow and keep out the frigid winter wind. Four pockets provide plenty of places to stash your stuff. Just make sure you remember which one you zipped your car keys into. Even though The North Face made this jacket with a below-the-waist cut, it also included a hem cinch to keep out the chill in really windy conditions.

Nice

Rating:****

I bought this for my husband and he loves it because it's so warm. Unfortunately one of the snaps broke off the coat after only wearing it a few times. I don't want to hassle with the return, so I just told him not to use the snap.

I am really satisfied with this North Face down parka

Rating:*****

Once I got this Parka, I realized that my choice was great. it's warmer than my another parka that is North face 700 down parka and it's lighter than I expected. I love this parka, I'm expecting next winter.

Beautiful jacket. Great look. Nice feeling. I got it for my husband and then wish they had it in XS for myself!

My husband realized when he put the coat on for the first time that a snap is missing , right at the neck. So we'll have to return it. From reading the previous review, snaps appear to be a problem. The coat is warm and nice looking, otherwise.
