Head off to one of the gleaming cities of Europe this winter - decked out in the down-filled comfort of the Metropolis Parka from The North Face. You'll stay super warm on the cold streets of The Hague or while touring the Thames in puffy, 600-fill down with an insulated hood and a center front snap over the 2-way front zipper. Specifications based on size Medium.
Providing exceptional thermal warmth, The North Face Metropolis Parka for women with an extra-long cut creates a full-body shield from frigid weather. Bundle up against the cold this winter in this stylish 600 fill down comforter.

The Metropolis Parka also has an "Electronics acceptance system"--a term that The North Face uses to explain that the jacket is ready for your music player or cellular phone system. No matter how or what you play, the Metropolis is a fashionable and highly functional design that looks right in the city or way out in the countryside.
Today calls for a stylish technically driven women’s down jacket. The sky is clear, the streets are covered in snow, and the temperature is at a high of 19 degrees.

With 600 fill down insulation this Metropolis parka blankets your body from your head to your knees against extreme cold, whipping winds, and snow flurries.

Overall a great buy, some reservations.. | |
| Rating: |  |
| Overall this is a great jacket - I was pleased with the color selections and overall look. I live in Chicago, and we've been experiencing extremely cold conditions already this winter, and this jacket has held it's own very well. It gets a little drafty on very windy days, but overall is VERY warm without feeling too hot. I personally get cold very easily and consider myself a bit of a cold-whimp, and I can't say that I've felt cold in this coat, even on a day when the windchill factor was -20. I'm completely serious - I took the dog for a quick outdoor walk, and the only places that were cold were my lower legs and face (i.e. not covered by the coat.). The only fit issue I have with this jacket is in the hips. I don't have particularly large hips, per se, but I've definitely got a bit of a curvy build. The jacket fits a little snug right at the hips, giving it a little bit of a pucker just at my thighs...so from the side, it's not such a flattering look, especially if I've got things (keys, gloves) in the pockets. The other issue is that the feathers tend to shed out of the shell. I think the shell perhaps is a little thin. It doesn't shed much, but enough that it's noticeable. | |

i got my parka in xs black today. actually i bought 2. one in small cherry stain brown and the other in xs black. i tried the brown one on and it looked ok, but a little big on me. i wasn't too thrilled with the color either. it is not a brown but more of a reddish brown. i'm returning that one. | |

Wonderful coat! | |
| Rating: | |
The Metropolis Parka is a wonderful investment. It is well worth the money. It looks great, not bulky like most down coats. It covers so much more of my body which goes a long way in keeping me toasty on cold windy days. I love the two way zipper that allows the bottom of the coat to be opened a bit so I can sit without feeling constrained. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was b/c if I don't layer, I DO get chilly on really cold days. The down is 600 fill, so I was a bit surprised to feel chilly at all. Of course I'm on the scrawny side...(5'4"1/2, 110 pounds), so that may play a role in the feeling cold. I don't have a lot of insulation!! Either way, this is a wonderful, stylish, functional coat. it's a great investment! | |

I just got my cherry stain brown Parka and I LOVE IT!! The color is awesome- different and very pretty. I wore it today here in LI, NY where it's windy and 25 degrees out. It totally kept me warm!! Another great thing is that it's not bulky which makes driving w/ it very comfortable. | |

Great coat | |
| Rating: | |
| Living in New England I really needed a long and warm coat but didn't want something really padded. When I first saw the coat, I couldn't believe how thin and light it was and really didn't think it would be warm enough but it is. I love the style of it and the fit. It is very fashionable and I have gotten lots of compliments on it. I wasn't sure whether to get Med or Small and got small. (I vary between sm and med in clothes). Down size if you are not sure. I tried on the medium since in another store and the sleeves are too long. I got the cargo green and just love it. You really can't got wrong with North Face products and I know it will last me for many more New England winters!!! | |

I purchased the metropolis after much debate. I think it is so worth the few extra dollars from competative brands. I bought the lands end down coat and found the down escaping and returned it to sears after I only wore it once. I am so glad I got the white, which apears actually winter white and easy to keep clean. I was waiting for a navy color and the helpful staff at backcountry suggested I order the white and if wasn't satisfied I could return if they got a blue in. This coat is so toasty warm, I do not understand the one review saying they got chilled at inaugeration in DC. I walked to church below 0 and stay comfortable. I will continue to buy from backcountry because of their great customer service. | |

"Awesome coat, worth every penney......" | |
| Rating: | |
| This is theee most comfortable jacket I own. It's cozy, looks classy (I have the vintage white, which I think looks a little more dressy) despite it being a light color, I thought it would look soiled quicker, it doesn't! Then again I love this coat so much I treat it with kid gloves. I highly recommend this coat, the length is perfect. It can be worn with longer sweaters (nothing worse than a sweater hanging out under your coat ~ not cool!) Also can be worn with skirts and looks great with my all time favorite ~ jeans and boots. It is warm, yet not heavy and most importanatly comfortable. Yet everywhere I go, I get a compliment on it. It's worth every penney!!!! CK | |

| I just picked my jacket up at the store yesterday and I already wore it today! It's 40 degrees today and I was plenty warm wearing it to work! I know it's not extreme conditions yet, but I think it should work pretty well. I wanted a jacket that was not too bulky, however still very warm, and I think this jacket will just just that. I love the color and the style- it has nice shape to it and it looks nice. The ONLY thing I'm a little worried about is that it won't be warm enough in the Minnesota frigid cold temperatures. It's only 600 down and it feels a little light weight. I'll just have to see! | |

Love it! | |

This coat is great! Very warm and light weight. It isn't as "poofy" as some other long down coats, so you don't look like a big marshmallow! The reversible zipper is great for easy walking and sitting, but you can still do either with it zipped all the way down. I am a size 8, 5'5", curvy and 130 pounds. The small fit just fine. It is a tad snug around the hips, but not bad at all and you couldn't tell by looking at me. The medium was way too big at the top and the arms were too long. The only thing I would change is a little more flare in the hips for us curvy women! | |

I love this coat, and I can say this after having bought and returned multiple other down coats/parkas in the past year in my search for the perfect comfortable warm down coat. | |

I've seen so many people with this parka in New York City this year that I became a lemming and just HAD to have one. I received mine in ink blue, really lovely color, size M. Definitely could have gone with small but it doesn't matter because I find the coat totally inadequate in terms of warmth. The other reviewers who talk about how warm it is must be very hot blooded. It's lightweight and I guess lacking in loft. I've worn down parkas for years and years and have never felt cold. Until now. What's the point of wearing down if it's not warm and I need lots of layers? North Face, listen up! This is not worth the money -- you have a HUGE following, you owe us more than this. | |

Not a coat for cold weather. The zipper had a notch scratched in the metal. Would not close. I am very disappointed as Northface always has made quality jackets. | |

The is a great warm jacket but only after a a few wears the white colored down starts showing up through the seams on this black jacket - I won't recommend it. | |

A bit spendy for what you get | |
| Rating: |  |
| I was debating between this jacket and a similar one from another store (I don't think I can say the name here but this store is supposedly known for down jackets). I decided to go with this one because I liked the ink blue color and I admit that I am a snob about name brands. To me, fashion rates a bit higher than function. I do really like how the jacket looks, but it is not very warm. I live in Wisconsin and it gets pretty cold here. It is nice to have a long jacket to keep my thighs and butt warm, but I have to wear another fleece jacket underneath it (usually over a sweater) to be warm enough on top. Thankfully it is big enough to fit a few layers underneath (I tend to be a big medium in North Face stuff so I was worried about this. It is a good size, but the arms are a bit long - not obnoxiously long though). The competitor's jacket would have been a smarter buy because it was less expensive and warmer (700 fill, supposedly with warmer down) but I'm ok with this purchase since it was partly a Christmas gift anyway. Although I do like how it's not one of those really big puffy down jackets (also, it's fitted nicely), I wish North Face would make a warmer version of this jacket or a long liner for it. The other one I was considering is warmer and still thin. It's kind of lame to have to wear another coat underneath but the pro of that is I can wear it earlier and later in the season as well, I suppose. Would I recommend it? If you live somewhere a bit warmer than Wisconsin and you have a coupon [$], then maybe. If warmth is your main focus and you don't mind black, brown, or white only, check out somewhere else. | |

"Cute and good winter jacket - not as warm as I'd like it to be" | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought this because I heard it was amazing and saw so many people wearing it so assumed it must be good. I've been looking for a long insulated jacket to keep me warm since I am always cold. I have been wearing this for while and am just not 100% satisfied. It hasn't kept me as warm as I expected and is definitely not wind proof. The sleeves are baggy and not keeping me warm but the chest area seems to be well insulated. Also, feathers are coming out at a pretty rapid pace (which I know happens with down but not this fast). To sum up, if you want a stylish cute jacket then this is great but if you are cold all the time or live somewhere with really bad weather this jacket is not for you. | |

Pretty good stuff | |

I got myself a black one in XS (5'4'' and 115lbs). It's very light and warm, but a bit on the large side. Especially the two sleeves are so large on the upper arm part that it looks like I have big muscles -- not that feminine. Otherwise, all satisfied. | |
