northstar parka Mid-length, goose-down parka

I absolutely love the color of this parka. It looks great and I get lots of compliments on it. However, after about 2 months of wear the color on the butt area started to fade. It's been about 4 months total and the area is noticeably white now. I think it's because I carry a backpack at university so that's just something to consider.

I love how sleek and warm this parka is. The only downside is that the zipper can be a little tricky to zip up at times - maybe 20% of the time. The coat is heavy when I’m holding it but it doesn’t feel heavy when I wear it.

I can't speak to the warmth yet as it hasn't dropped to freezing temps but it's held up well in 20-30s degrees.I'm 5'1 so it hits about knee length for me and sleeves a bit long (usual struggles with every jacket). The fur is pretty big and heavy so i removed. Like the length and style so far.

Great coat, really cosy and super warm.

Just a shame about the zip, sometimes takes me a couple of attempts before I manage to get it right.

Otherwise a really nice coat, I went a size up then usual as it was a bit snug, if you had sweater/cardigan on underneath.

The fit is awesome, the lining in the hood is super soft, the colour is great, and it is super warm. My only complaint is that the zipper broke within the first 2 weeks of purchase. Considering I paid nearly $400 for this jacket, I would expect a zipper that actually does its job.

Its not even -10C yet and I feel really cold especially around the arms area. I shiver with the slightest wind which I really dont understand. I thought it was engineered for -30. The hoodie is too big for a human head. It blocks my vision making it hard to see. I really dont recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this coat this fall. The fit is beautiful and very flattering - size up if you want to wear thicker sweaters/if you live in a colder area. It's warm and can be dressed up and down. The zipper quality, however, is TERRIBLE. I have to fidget with it multiple times, every time I want to zip my coat up. It is so bad half the time I don't even bother and just try and layer up with scarves, sweaters etc. It defeats the entire purpose of paying for and having a winter parka. Given the price point, I think there are better jackets out there you can go with. I've never had an issue with any other item I've purchased from Aritzia and generally shop there because I can count on their clothing being high quality. Super disappointed with this item, it really missed the mark... would not recommend and would not re-purchase.

Vevry like it! The size is vevry good!

Go Up a Size, fit small.
Love the style. At my knees length, exactly what I am looking for. Big furs too.

Seems came loose within month of wearing it on daily basis, seems to be poorly mde

If you’re going to wear a sweater you’re going to need to go up a size it does run smaller

Great coat for our freezing cold Canadian weather. I love the material, very high quality and seems like it won't "fade" like the TNA parka I have, and much more sophisticated looking. Fur and hood are amazing, covers your head very nicely from the wind and snow. Only complaint is the zipper, really hard to get used to and takes a few tries before you can get the stupid thing done up. Other than that this parka is amazing and totally worth the money.

I bought the black parka with the black faux fur hood. It looks a lot better in person than in the pictures. The faux fur feels very soft and luxe. I tried on the XXS (my usual size), which fits true to size, except the armpit area felt a little snug. I got the XS instead so that I could wear thicker sweaters with it. It is a warm parka at a pretty reasonable price. The only pitfall is the damn zipper. It's so hard to zip, which is extremely frustrating.

Love it !!! So warm during these freezing temps ! Love the length, double zip, pockets, hood. My only complaint is that it is a little heavy . Overall, great winter parka!

Very warm and looks professional

I love it! It’s really nice but I wish it was warmer! I live in Toronto and it says it’s good for -30 but I find its not as warm as I expected to be as I walk to school

Overall, very pleased with this parka! It’s more stylish and grown up than the TNA parkas. And it is quite warm. The fur is also very soft. My only complaint is how hard it is to zip. It always seems to take a few tries to get the zipper into the clasp.

Gorgeous jacket. I usually take a XXS or XS in Aritzia clothing and XS in jackets (I have a TNA parka and Babaton wool jacket). The XS fit best with enough room for a medium weight sweater underneath. I agree with other reviewers that this jacket is dressier than the similar TNA jackets, and the zipper is a bit hard to do up at times. The faux fur trim is PHENOMENAL! So soft and big (although the hood comes down a bit low when my hair is down). The jacket fits longer on me than the model but I prefer that as my legs get cold in the winter.

Really snug with a thick sweater, should size up. Otherwise, the coat is really flattering on the body.

My only complaint is the zipper, it can be difficult to do up. Should be better quality to match the rest of the coat.

The black “fur” is super soft the parka hugs all the right places and can be dressed up or down. My only complaint is the zipper. It’s hard to zip, it doesn’t start at the bottom of the jacket so it’s difficult to get the two sides to meet and it’s also not the smoothest zipper.

Super warm and soft coat.

Everything is perfect, but it's a little bit heavy!

This parka is super warm and it looks dressier than the average parka so it's great for days you are dressing professionally.

Extremely warm and a great modern design. Runs small so size up.

Love the color, fabric, and style of the coat. It's nice and warm, has large pockets and looks great. I wish the waist was a little more tailored and slimming, but overall I am happy with it.
