Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face applied its technical outerwear magic to the street-ready Women's Arctic Parka. Knowing that the weather has the potential to be as brutal during your three-block walk from the subway to work as it can be on a 12,000-foot peak, The North Face made this knee-length Arctic trench coat with waterproof fabric and sealed its seams. This jacket's 550-fill down insulation keeps you warm through freezing rain or biting wind. Removable fur trim on the hood adds a sophisticated look and also provides additional weather protection for your face."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"With high-performance HyVent nylon twill protection, The North Face Arctic Parka for women is insulated with 550 fill down to keep you toasty warm. Waterproof, breathable and seam sealed the outer shell insures optimum down insulation efficiency, while offering long length coverage, additional adjustable hood storm protection and detachable faux fur trim for mountain to town styling."

From REI:
"The Arctic down parka combines the full-length protection of a trench coat with the weather resistance you've come to expect from The North Face. Nylon twill shell fabric is soft to the touch and resists abrasion. Hyvent™ multilayer polyurethane coating provides waterproof protection, breathability and durability. Seams are sealed for complete weather protection. Insulated with 550-fill-power goose down for a high warmth-to-weight ratio; it's the lightest, warmest and most compressible insulation available. Polyester taffeta lining slides on easily over layers and wicks away moisture to keep you dry. Insulated hood sports a sassy (and detachable) faux-fur trim; hood drawcord secures the fit. Adjustable snap-closure cuffs seal in warmth. Includes two zippered handwarmer pockets, two zippered chest pockets and an internal media pocket; one hand pocket sports a key clip."

"You don't need to sacrifice style for warmth anymore! This is the best winter jacket that I own! If you're looking for a warm, stylish, fitted down jacket this winter without looking like the michelin man, then look no further than The North Face Arctic Parka!

Extremely warm with 550 down fill (-35c in my area of the world) water and wind-proof and feminine with a gorgeous fur trim on the hood."

"This coat is beautiful, extremely warm, and comfortable. I was so happy with it up until I had to clean it. It doesn't have a removable fur trim like some of the other coats do. The directions indicate that it's to be machine washed and not dry cleaned so I did just that."
