User Review: The North Face McMurdo Parka

The North Face McMurdo Parka
Above: The current McMurdo Parka, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 0.5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $390

I got one of these for Christmas and I have to say its a big pile of garbage.

The hood snorkel is too short. There is no support for the hood so you can't see out. There are gaps between the fake fur and the hood so wind can blow in. The velcro is missing on the fake fur so why make it removable?

The cuffs are to short and don't bellow out of the sleeves. There is no inner draft flap.
I could go on but I won't. I took it back and bought a Canada Goose Resolute.

This coat may be ok if you want to wear it shopping or whatever. It should not be sold in Saskatchewan where I live because it gets cold here.

It does not belong outside in cold temps for extended periods. I work outside in -35-45 for extended periods and I would not wear this thing.

Save your money folks.
