THE NORTH FACE Women's W Arctic Pka Ii Insulated Down

[CatUnderTheStairs]

Anyone got this? How warm is it?

It is very warm. I have had mine for about 5 years now and it still looks new. I live by the coast and it keeps me warm and dry in torrential rain and gale force winds.

I have had one for years and swear by it....wish it hadn't lasted as long TBH as I would like another colour!
It is very warm. Quite thick but lovely.
Def recommend

Too warm for ne

I’ve got one of those ... it’s a lovely coat. Very warm but not heavy.

I've had mine for around ten years and it is still good as new. I would recommend paying for a professional clean every couple of seasons (not a dry clean, but dry cleaners who will also do a wash in a large drum washer. Makes such a difference, I know so many people who have ruined down filled coats by not tumble drying and sorting the filling out properly, and its quite laborious)

Last year I stood in a queue admiring the coat of the lady in front...before realising it was the exact same coat but without the faux fur hood trim. I went straight home and took mine off and it has transformed it. Don't know about newer versions, but the fur on mine was always a bit cheap looking even when new, and you don't really need it when it's not snowing anyway.

OOh that's all good thank you. I've had a North FAce Triclimatte Suzanne for 5 years and it's now starting to show it's age. But I don't like the new colours for it.

But I loved how warm it was and properly waterproof and breathable. Willing to shell out as I walk to work in the north west and it's very wet and frequently freezing.

Dare I ask how much it is it sounds just what I'm after too.

It’s £360 in John Lewis but I’m sure you can find it cheaper online....

I’ve asked my husband for a mega warm coat for Christmas that will protect me from cold north east winds, look a bit stylish
Waterproof, wind proof
Lightweight
Is this my coat
Currently wearing a regatta coat with a primark thin jacket and jumper underneath... in a restaurant

I wore mine today. I'm in the northwest and walk a lot. It was toasty.
I got mine in Cheshire Oaks Outlet village for £180. Its navy blue.

One of my best buys ever

Best purchase ever. Think mines on its fourth or fifth winter. Still looks great. Toasty warm. 😊

I have one, haven't worn it yet this year, I only wear it as temperatures dip below 5 centigrade. I took it out and tried it on today and quickly got too hot in it. It is very warm

What's the size like on it specifically belly and boob room

Fairly generous sizing. In a 14/16 wobbly and medium is a good fit. No Tom got a jumper but you don’t need one.

Thanks cat

Well merry Christmas to me
Dh bought me mine for Christmas
£216 at north face
I feel fashion went out of the window but I want to be warm

Have one for many years. Agree better minus fur. Mine needs the dry cleaners but it's doing fine. I have the grey which I like.

To answer your question - very warm.

I agree with others, I’ve taken the fur off mine as well. I do put it back on if I am walking in snow as it helps keep it off my face.

Try the kids section - I have a boys xxl north face coat (I’m not exactly tiny) and the only difference between this and the adult version is a slightly larger logo and a name tag inside (not exactly unhelpful either!).

The cost was £110 less and the quality is the same.

I have it too - think it must be 8 years old - it gets thoroughly abused - covered in mud, dog sleeps on it sometimes when we're out - it gets chucked in the washing machine and dried in the tumble dryer with a couple of tennis balls and it looks as good as new - a real workhorse of a coat - I don't know how I cope with dog walking in the winter without it - dh bought the man's version too!

I’ve had one for over ten years, and it’s only just got a bit thin and not as warm. I’m replacing it with a different brand partly because of the price and partly because I’m a bit bored of it by now!
