Head off to one of the gleaming cities of Europe this winter - decked out in the down-filled comfort of the Metropolis Parka from The North Face. You'll stay super warm on the cold streets of The Hague or while touring the Thames in puffy, 600-fill down with an insulated hood and a center front snap over the 2-way front zipper.

  • Tread down frosty city streets wrapped in the snug warmth of sleeping bag-like 600-fill goose down
  • Don't worry about getting caught in drizzles or light snow, durable nylon and polyester fabric treated with Durable Water Repellent protects your down insulation from moisture
  • When you need a little extra warmth, pull up the insulated, adjustable, snap-off hood - and don't worry about chafing, the soft, brushed chinguard lining won't abrade your skin
  • Keep drizzles and drafts out by zipping up the front 2-way zipper and fastening the center-front snaps
  • When you're riding the tubes, be sure to keep your iPod in the internal media pocket so you can rock out and forget the world around you
  • If you forget your gloves, warm your hands in the hand pockets - and stow your keys in them too on the hand pocket key clip
  • Weight: 1 lb 1.4 oz
    • Insulation: 600-fill down
      • Shell fabric: nylon

Overall a great buy, some reservations..

"Overall this is a great jacket - I was pleased with the color selections and overall look.

A bit spendy for what you get

"I was debating between this jacket and a similar one from another store (I don't think I can say the name here but this store is supposedly known for down jackets). I decided to go with this one because I liked the ink blue color and I admit that I am a snob about name brands. To me, fashion rates a bit higher than function. I do really like how the jacket looks, but it is not very warm. I live in Wisconsin a..." Read Full Review »

"I like the coat - it is cute and sporty. I do have a couple of problems with the outer fabric ... I wore my new coat to my kid's soccer game - well it rained and I was a little disappointed with the water-resistance. I let it air dry and while it didn't seem wet the next day, I smelled like a wet …"  Read Full Review »

"Love it! I was a little concerned about the price but it is worth every penny! The parka not only zips, but also buttons. It has a detachable hood. The fit is true to size. This Parka is stylish yet functional. "
