This weekend marked the winter’s first snow and what a beautiful weekend it was. I couldn’t have enjoyed it as much as I did without a warm winter coat. I know we’ve reviewed puffers before but this jacket has made this winter the most enjoyable to date. This North Face parka, which I purchased at Bloomingdales, is comfortable with a detachable hood. The pockets have dual usage. One is an entry through the top of the pocket and the other is through the side which is lined with fleece. The waist buckle snaps to keep in warmth. The self belt is adjustable and fits snug around the zip and button front closure. This goose down Menlo Parka is the best winter coat I’ve ever owned. Thank you North Face.
