User Review: The North Face Men's McMurdo Parka

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Fabric: nylon and a proprietary waterproof layer
Fill: down (european goose)
Price Paid: $150

Great down parka with hood and faux fur trim. Too much wool shredding velcro: each cuff, even though there is an internal cuff, three external pockets, three internal pockets and five in the hood!It took me two hours to remove it all. North Face, what is wrong with snaps? You used them on the front zipper wind flap and on one internal pocket. Velcro and wool (and some fleece) do not get along well. And the parka works just as well without all that velcro.
