The North Face McMurdo Down Parka - Mens for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

Only had my coat for a year and one of the zipper teeth has broken off.

I’ve worn it twice during early cold here in Boston. The hood is not big/deep enough. This left my head exposed. There are no draw strings so you can’t pull it tight. The removable faux fur is not as plush as it looks and I wasn’t planning to use it. Even with it, it doesn’t do the trick. I tried wearing a hat underneath but the hood basically is unable to do much at that point....

The size was a lot bigger than expected and the cut is basically a straight rectangle without deviation. The pockets are also strangely placed. I would go at least one size smaller. I ordered a size bigger unknown that it would be so big. Coat was about two sizes too big for me. A large probably would of fit well

After a lot of research I landed on this jacket, and I am very thankful that I pulled the trigger on this purchase! It is warm, comfortable, and provides the quality you expect from TNF. I would buy this again and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this jacket to friends and my worst enemies, because after all, everyone deserves to stay warm in the winter!

I purchased a jacket I wasn't happy with and the team at backcountry.com couldn't have been more helpful. They paid for return shipping and gave me some advice on finding the right jacket for me. Extremely professional and courteous, I will definitely shop on this site in the future.

I am a little stocky in the chest and shoulders and the jacket ran a little big in the mid section. I felt like Sponge Bob Square Pants but it will probably fit some well and others not.

Before I got this in December, I did a lot of research to find the warmest jacket for the money. All reviews pointed me to this parka. Since then, we have had a lot of nasty, cold weather here near Traverse City, Michigan. So far, I have worn it in -22 mornings being totally comfortable. I’ve wore this snowboarding, to my daughter’s ski meets, on my daily commute, snow blowing my driveway, and will wear it ice fishing this weekend. This is too warm to wear inside for extended periods. I’m 6’1” 200 lbs, and a large fits well, just a bit roomy. I personally don’t have much of a problem with the zipper as I had read others mention. It is a double zipper like a sleeping bag, so you can unzip upwards from the bottom - which I have found is handy to take a leak.

Such a gorgeous jacket and so warm. Tough exterior. I loved it but had to return it because the zipper was absolute garbage. I could never get it zipped. Northface has always given me problems with zippers. I’ve had to send jackets back to have them replaced. The collar is a complete design disaster. Other than that this jacket was perfect I was so disappointed to Return

I bought this coat for my father and here is what he has to say: Living in Boise, Idaho, it stays cold for quite a while. This coat is great for my retired life, getting me to the mailbox, church, and from the car during shopping. I like this coat alot and it's 'quiet' (meaning the fabric doesn't crinkle when it's cold)

This coat is absolutely the best I’ve had! From the pockets in all the right places to the hood that you can customize and right on to how warm this thing is!!

Purchased it as a gift and so far he loves the parka. He's mentioned that overall the parka is super warm and he has not had any issues. I thought the chest pocket placement is a little odd, they could have positioned the pockets a little bit lower but my buddy loves it.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend. This is what he said about the parka: “This parka is fantastic. It’s kept me incredibly warm and dry throughout this winter thus far. The down is incredibly comfortable as well. I haven’t tested it much in the mountains yet, but in freezing and windy temperatures in the city, it’s been great. Even considering that this is a parka, I think it runs on the larger size, like a lot of stuff from The North Face. In most brands, I wear a medium, but the small McMurdo fits me perfectly.”

Unfortunately the hood on this coat is not of much use in my opinion because it doesn’t have cinch down pull cords in the front on each side. So as soon as you get a gust of wind the hood wants to blow off your head and doesn’t really provide much protection. I also thought it would be warmer than my Marmot shadow down jacket which only comes down to the waist, but it could be because of the higher down loft.

I was looking for a warm coat. That was my number 1 priority. This coat is warm, but not too warm for me (Missouri winter seasons). Yes, the coat is a little bulky. It is like wearing a down comforter. But that is also what makes it so cozy and warm. I was good to go with an undershirt, and a polo, with this coat in 9 degree temps. Yes, the zipper is a little cumbersome. But you will get used to it. Perhaps, the coat may not be quite as stylish as others, but what I really wanted was a nice warm coat, and that's what this is. I am 6'2", 220lbs and got the XL. It fits just ever so slightly large, but I am good with it. I don't think you are going to find a warmer coat for the money.

IT DOES WORK FOR SEVERE COLD WEATHER.

Well constructed and extremely warm. Goes to mid-thigh for added warmth. Warmest coat I’ve ever owned.

Almost talked myself out of this jacket initially based on reading some of the reviews, after purchasing Im glad I didn’t listen to the lower rated ones. I was looking at a Fjallraven or Canadian Goose but kept getting caught up on price. I did some research, I wanted a Parka that extended past my waist so I looked up “warmest Mens parka”, to my surprise the McMurdo was rated second in three trials and 3rd in another one. Can find the links again if needed. It even beat out the three other coats I was looking at that are about $300 more. So I pulled the triggered and got it. First! the only issue I have is with the zipper, being a Parka the coats zipper falls past your waist and it’s a tough angle to get and there is a certain technique to it. Initially it would take me a few tries to get but now I figured out how to get it and have no issues. To me the XL is great, I have a 32 waist so it’ s not tight and routinely wear sweatshirts underneath. It is a Parka, to those reading this and then reading other reviewers I believe you lose some movement because tha€t’s the type of jacket. Yes it’s tough to lift my arms above my head, but I didn’t buy this coat for activities that require that. There are 6 pocket and an interior electionrics pocket with headphone wire opening. Not sure how many more you need. The hood cover my head fine, especially if the pull the cord to tighten in back of hood. Again maybe it’s my liking, but there is no drawstring but have yet to feel wind come the bottom, if you have a big stomach though I could see this happening though. The sleeves for me same size coat are fine, if your looking for active use I would not recommend besides light hiking, daily use or walks. In general I’m happy with coat, it’s the warmest coat I’ve had.
