Ws Jackson Glacier Parka

May 10, 2023

Cozy warm jacket

I open water swim regularly in 50 degree water. I wear this jacket afterward, to warm up again. It's light (in weight), warm, full length and fully functional.

March 31, 2023

Favorite Jacket

I originally got it for a trip to a place where it gets to negative 15 degrees Celsius and snowy but it's become my favorite jacket to wear on SF's cloudy overcast days, which turns out to be most days. I decided this was the jacket because it was lightweight and comfortable.

March 19, 2023

warm and comfortable

it feels as if I am wearing a sleeping bag while walking. Cozy.

February 19, 2023

It is a great parka!

It is a great parka! I had tried on 6-7 winter down parkas, different brands and styles, before settling on this one. I love the Smolder blue color, it is awesome. I have had many compliments on it. It is warm and functional. I was looking for a warm and long parka but without the look of a puffy sleeping bag. This is it! I am a short person, 5.1f... Read Moreeet, so it hits me below my knees which is not ideal but it works for me. It works well for me to wear with pants and longer woolen skirts. I like the two-way zipper, its very helpful, especially so if you are short like me. It is a great product.

February 16, 2023

Best full-length down coat

At 5 foot 3 inches, this is more full length for me. Given the price, this coat is an indulgence but well worth it. From the minute you put this coat on, you know it is different: the fabric is substantial, the baffle construction is unique, the pockets have s warm, fuzzy lining, and the down fill is perfectly cozy. I could quibble about the zipper... Read More, but two-way zippers are always quirky. It needs to be perfectly aligned. The cut is generous without being too large. Honestly, I never thought I would wear this coat so much.

February 14, 2023

Cozy!

It feels like a warm blanket. Very comfortable. Was looking for a lighter color jacket for more visibility at night time. I would have been better with the medium, but wanted to get it on sale so settled with the large. Only thing is that the zipper is too refined. It gets lost in the puffiness. Takes a little time to latch. But overall satisfied.

Parka Review

This jacket is extremely warm, I love the fleece lined pockets. It is not too puffy and layers well. Highly recommend.

February 1, 2023

Très bien mais pas assez chaud

Très bien fait. Jaime bien les ajustements du capuchon et sa forme. Belle couleur. Semble solide. Par contre, non, ce manteau n´est pas chaud. Je marche pour aller au travail et j´ai froid sil fait moins de -5 degrés. Un peu déçue.

Very comfortable

I haven't experienced wearing the coat in super cold temperatures but to date it has provided great warmth. My only concern is that the zipper is very stiff and I have difficulty at times zipping the coat up and zipping the bottom zipper up also.

Response from Patagonia

Hey Evelyn, thanks for the review! If you think a lubrication on the zipper might help, we have this [handy tutorial](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Lubricate+a+Zipper/19450) you can reference.

Great coat

At first I was a bit worried that this coat was not going to be thick enough to be warm, but I think it was just compressed from shipping. After a day or two it poofed right up and I have to admit, it's a great coat. It kept me warm through our recent polar vortex temperatures of 10˚F and continues to provide excellent warmth in slightly warme... Read Morer temps. The length is great on me and hits about mid thigh. I really love that the outside coating is waterproof, and it holds up well enough to use as a raincoat for brief periods. This is my new go-to hardcore winter coat.

Fabulous coat, warm and comfortable.

Fabulous coat, warm and comfortable. Use it for winter walks in New Hampshire! Fits like a dream though it could use even more pockets (!), but it is well designed.

Parka saves woman from icy fall.

The puffiness of this jacket probably saved me from breaking a bone after slipping on the icy road 3 times. It doesn't even look that puffy and didn't rip at all. It's perfect! My favourite feature would be the double-sided zipper. A rare find that keeps the jacket practical enough to not feel restrained. It kept me quite warm in -6C... Read More I used it so far. True to size. Super happy with it!

December 29, 2022

Great for east coast winters

This has been essential for taking my dog out for long walks in the winter. I love the inner pocket behind the breast and the two hand pockets are lined with a soft material. All of the pockets have zippers. The water resistance is a must for the rainy days, though I am hesitant to let it get rained on directly; I always use an umbrella. I am 5...

December 23, 2022

Super warm

I live in Michigan and wanted a warm windproof coat and this is perfect. The coldest day so far has been -12°F and I was not cold at all I went for a walk wearing it. I bought a size L because I wanted to be able to layer sweaters comfortably under it. In my opinion the coat lives up to all the advertising about it when your streets in your city fe... Read Moreel like the Artic circle it's time for the Jackson glacier parka. I love my coat it's my favorite so far extremely pleased with my purchase. It's so warm and windproof and yet so light weight, not bulky feeling. I highly recommend this coat! It makes winter so much nicer to handle no dread of feeling freezing cold outside any more on super cold days!

December 23, 2022

Great warmth/Uncomfortable neck

I really wanted to love this jacket. The length is perfect and the warmth is great! When zipped up all the way however, the neck of coat is very uncomfortable and chafes the skin so I have to keep the coat zipped only partially which does not feel great on a very cold day! A more cozy neck/hood area would make this parka perfect.

December 20, 2022

Comfortable and accommodates changing temoeratures

Good is convenient and warm. Pockets are well placed and generous. Very comfortable and the color generates many compliments.

December 19, 2022

Warm as toast

This coat is amazingly warm and cosy. I absolutely adore it. I have a dog and take him out in all weathers (even if he is in his bag) and this coat keeps me warm and dry. I have never spent so much on a coat but it is so worth it.

December 18, 2022

Amazing coat!

I bought the Jackson Glacier coat a few weeks ago after reading all the reviews on here. A really cold snap was forecast had started in the UK and I wanted something warm but light as I was fed up of having to wear 7 layers and feel like I could barely move. When it arrived, I was initially concerned as it was so thin and didn’t think it would keep... Read More me warm but I wore it that night when the temperature dropped to -2C and I was toast warm! I have never had a warmer winter coat! It is keeping me snug in the current snowy and arctic weather in the UK where the temperature is dropping to -5C with icy winds, just wearing it with a long sleeved top and thin midlayer underneath. My face, hands and legs from the knees down get cold and feel the wind, but not everywhere that’s covered by this coat. I’m a dogsitter and dog walker and recently spent 10 hours outdoors walking dogs in the snow and wS really warm in this coat the whole time. I have’t worn it in the rain yet but have sat in the snow without my bum getting wet so have high hopes. I love the cut and big pockets for all the dog stuff I carry round, and dirt seems to just easily fall off it. I always have filthy dog paws being put on me as dogs jump up at me and none of it seems to have stayed on it so far. I wish I’d bought this coat years ago! I find it to be a very flattering fit too, very slimline for a puffer coat.

December 8, 2022

just right

I am a typical size 6. I am so glad I went with the small, the XS fit wonderfully cozy, but tight across my shoulders and made the sleeves too short. The body in the small has extra room, but I am very comfortable. I can wear whatever I want underneath. The hood is amazing in the wind. The zipper does come up high under your chin. The pockets are f... Read Morelannel lined. The zipper is heavy duty with a coating so no elements blow inside. The length is perfect for walking. Just above my knee. I am 5'7" 140#. In this fabulous new coat I am never cold!!

December 4, 2022

Beautiful coat, warm and attractive

Beautiful coat, warm and attractive - and TOTALLY useless. The waterproof zipper won't engage at the bottom. I've been a customer for decades, have you given up on quality control? So sad.

Response from Patagonia
December 7, 2022

Hi Michelle, we're very sorry to hear that the Jackson Glacier Down Parka isn't working out for you. The zipper issue does sound like a warranty issue, and we'd be happy to help out with a return. We'll reach out to privately with further assistance.

December 4, 2022

Super warm

This coat is very warm and I love it!! I just wished I realized that the models were so tall. The coat is a lot longer than I wished it would be.

November 21, 2022

Finally, the right coat

This coat for me was the best looking and warmest of all the ones I tried. Great fit, hood, fabric and zipper. Easy to wear, works well in city and country. Just throw it on and go. No bells and whistles, just comfort and simplicity. Well done.

November 9, 2022

Simply the best coat I’ve ever owned.

This really is the best coat I have ever owned. In this coat: - I am never cold - I never get wet from rain/snow etc - I always know no matter what the weather I will be completely fine. My family have now all bought Patagonia coats as I’ve had such a good experience. It made me realise that every other coat I’ve had was just rubbish. I’ve had th... Read Moreis for over three years and worn it almost every day through winter. I’ve just re bought it so I have a smart one and one that I can be less precious with. Top notch.

October 22, 2022

Comfortable and fits well.

Enjoyed it a lot. It's comfortable, fits well and does a swell job as a sweater!

October 17, 2022

Good for everything

I’ve bought this parka thinking to use it first during my trip to Iceland and it passed all tests (strong winds, rain, cold weather, used it also on the trails, opening the lower zipper). Very versatile, nice colour (smolder blue) and soft to touch. I really recomend it!

September 23, 2022

Gorgeous with a design flaw

Returning this coat is physically painful I love it so much. Gorgeous, warm, etc. The hype is true. However, as some noted and I ignored, the hood opening is either cut wrong for my body or cut wrong period. When the coat is entirely zipped up, the top of the zipper area stabs me in the chin. I need it to either come over my chin or be low enough n... Read Moreot to get poked. Nope. Perfect poking height. I almost convinced myself to ignore this. Thats how lovely the coat is otherwise. But I need to be comfy and bundled, not have pokey edges sticking into my chin. A sad day!

Hi Adrianna! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the discomfort the top of the zipper creates. We really appreciate this feedback as it's crucial to improving products for future seasons so we'll share this with our design team.

Love it!

I wore my parka last night for the first time on my dog walk. I really love it! Its super comfortable and warm and I find the hood fits perfectly. The quality and the fabric feels really good. I did order my usual Patagonia size S first, but it was very roomy so ordered an XS, just in case, to see if it fitted better. The XS is the perfect fit for ... Read Moreme and I can still wear my thickest jumper underneath it. Im very pleased with my purchase!

May 7, 2022

Love it!

Perfect for being outside during cold soccer games and cold walks outside!! It took me a while to purchase But so happy I did

April 13, 2022

Super Warm for winter walking

This coat will keep me warm next winter. Looking forward to more early morning walks in the cold. Fit is good, and not "slim" so I can layer under it. Color is subtle and pretty.

April 1, 2022

Beautiful and stylish coat but needs two revisions

I honestly loved everything about this coat - the style, the soft hand of the fabric, the coziness, the fit. But two things (also noted by other reviewers) kept me from keeping it. 1) the hood fit was odd. I would have much preferred a removable hood (like the Down With It) as this hood was too puffy/bulky behind my head when not using it. 2) When... Read More the zipper is pulled all the way up, it pokes uncomfortably into my neck/under my chin. Even if I leave the collar not fully zipped, the corners of the collar still poke upward under the chin - they don't lay flat to the sides. Not cozy at all! I really wanted to keep it but knew I couldn't live with the annoying zipper. I ended up getting the Down With It which isn't nearly as nice looking (and I don't like the more fitted cut) but is a bit more functional/versatile/comfortable.

March 25, 2022

Seriously Obsessed

I've been looking for a long parka for some time and I absolutely fell in love with this coat as soon I put it on (I got the olive color). I went to the Patagonia store to try it on since sizing with parkas can be difficult for a person that is very petite. I am glad I went in because normally I would have ordered small but surprisingly I ende... Read Mored up wanting the medium (in case I wanted to layer underneath). Yes, this coat will not hug your curves but I think that's what makes this coat so cute! I wore it in NYC during a cold rain storm and stayed warm and dry. So not only is it warm but it is water resistant. I highly recommend this parka but definitely try it on in person if you can!

March 18, 2022

Life Changing Coat!

I had a 2011 Patagonia Coat that I traded in for this coat (yay for that!), and it was TIME for an upgrade! I bought this coat on a 5F day and walked out of the store in it and haven't looked back. It has been cold ever since in Minneapolis and I am SO glad I have had this coat. I don't like being cold or going for walks in the cold with ... Read Moremy dogs, but this coat is SOOOOO Warm that I have actually been like '5F? LET'S GO!'. I even wear less layers underneath than I used to (bonus). I use this coat mainly for walking my dogs, playing in the yard with my dogs, and running errands. Highly recommend.

March 17, 2022

Perfect for Winter Weather

Very well designed winter parka. It is a perfect fit and the hood is very well designed for cold weather. All Patagonia products are wonderful.

March 15, 2022

Comfortable, warm, perfect fit

I was excited to purchase this jacket on sale, since I've been wanting one for a while. The color is prettier than it looks online (I've received 3 compliments so far) and the fit is perfect. I typically wear a small in Patagonia tops but sometimes the sleeves are a tad short. Not with this jacket. It fits me like a glove. The neck/cowl a... Read Morerea is the perfect height, too, a factor that I didn't pay attention to until I bought a jacket that came up too high and wasn't comfortable on my face. There's enough room to wear a heavy sweater underneath, which is critical when things get real cold. Pockets are just the right size, hood is just right, and I feel good about it because of Patagonia's sourcing standards. Would 100% recommend.

March 15, 2022

Super Warm

The fit is great. Large enough to wear layers underneath. Love the look.

March 14, 2022

Perfect coat

Love love it. Bought the down with it parka first and was disappointed. This one is comfortable, perfectly warm, and feels like a hug. Cant go wrong!

March 9, 2022

Super warm and comfortable, and a nice green!

This is a great thick jacket - I have never felt cold wearing it, though I admit the lowest I've been in was around 15-20 degrees. Felt cute in the cool green color while feeling warm.

March 6, 2022

Warm

Its warm and I like that you can take the hood off. I especially like Patagonias recycling policy.

March 5, 2022

Seems like a warm coat but....

I am 5'3 and about 130. I always wear a Patagonia small in everything from t-shirts, sweatshirts, fleece jackets etc.I have the women's Nano Puff and Fiona Parka in a small, and they fit perfectly. I was so excited for this warmer style coat but it is too big even with wearing a fleece underneath. I should have ordered an XS.

Classic Patagonia

I love Patagonia and this jacket is no exception. It's cute, fits well and keeps me warm. It's very comfortable and the hood stays on when you put it up. 10/10 would recommend!

February 17, 2022

very warm!

bought to wear in NYC during the really cold months. It's keeping me toasty warm :)

February 14, 2022

Just what I was looking for

I live in Chicago, and a good everyday winter coat is a must. I like this parka as it is thick enough to keep me warm, but is not so heavy that it feels like excessive weight. I am 5'2", 125 lbs, am able to wear a sweater underneath (like the full zip better sweater), and it is long enough to keep my legs warm. Do wish the front pockets w...

February 12, 2022

Better for someone tall

The coat is warm and comfortable. It fit way below my knee - Im 5 tall. It would be great if Patagonia made a Petite size. I would have gone with the length but the zipper is difficult to use. Really difficult. I returned the coat.

Response from Patagonia

Hello Sheila, Thank you for taking the time to share your review and feedback on the zipper and petite sizing. We are sorry the length did not work out for you on the W's Jackson Glacier Down Parka.

Bury me in this parka

I've had this parka for 3 years now and it's my best winter coat! I wanted a super warm coat that wasn't bulky. It's also waterproof, which I wanted for the freezing rain weather we get in central VA. I wear it all the time!

February 5, 2022

Walking in a cloud of warmth at 15 degrees!!!

As other reviews have mentioned, this coat is an investment. I tried several other parkas that advertised similar down fill. This one is hands-down the warmest with far better wind/weatherproofing! The tailoring provides a smooth silhouette even with a cut that offers room for layering. The double zipper adds great functionality for everyday things... Read More like climbing stairs, driving, and walking the dog. The pockets are longer than wide which is awesome for ensuring things stay in even when the pockets aren't zipped. My single annoyance is that the hood seems to be an afterthought. This coat is clearly for more leisurely pursuits, I won't be climbing or snowboarding in this coat. The minimalist hood seems to be cut to fit under a helmet. This leaves your face completely exposed to the winter weather (wind, sleet, pelting snow).

Warm, comfortable, and ridiculously good looking

This parka is everything I was looking for - extremely warm, made of recycled materials, and it even looks nice. I am 5'7" with a long torso and normally expect to wear a size M, but the size S fit much better in terms of my shoulders, arm length, and overall length and width. As other reviews mention, the zipper is not very smooth, but I... Read More have not had too much trouble using it. Love the color (basin green), love the fit, and love the warmth.

February 2, 2022

Runs huge for me

I just tried this on after it arrived today and it was huge for me. Im a petite person and weigh about 115. Even with sweatshirts and sweaters on I was swimming in this coat. Luckily I was able to work with someone on getting this exchanged for a smaller size.

February 1, 2022

Warm and roomie

I wanted a parka to walk the dogs and not be cold. This does the job. I got my normal size and although roomier than other Patagonia jackets in the same size, I prefer it this way so I can layer. One gripe, the zipper is tricky and when it goes up all the way, it hits my chin or bottom of neck and I find it super annoying. I wish the parka had a ne... Read Moreck and the hood was sewn separate from it. If it had that it would be perfect.

January 30, 2022

Very nice looking jacket , not super warm and runs a bit small .

Very nice and stylish jacket.The length is perfect, but it does run small and is not as windproof as I had wanted.Decided to keep it instead of returning it for a large but I needed a jacket that was warmer for the brutal NY winter of below zero temps .!!

January 29, 2022

Super warm great cost

I liked this coat however did not keep it.. over all the fit was good but a little boxy in the shoulders length was also good considering Im on the short end!

January 28, 2022

Nice coat

Runs large, I usually wear a L in Patagonia I had to return the L for a M. I like the coat a lot, but the sleeves could be longer.

January 27, 2022

Super cozy, but not windproof

A great jacket choice for more mild conditions. The exterior is not windproof, which is important in northern New England. Also, I would have loved to see the 3 snaps found on the Down With It jacket incorporated into this design to increase leg mobility.

January 26, 2022

Amazing Coat!

This parka is amazing. It is exceptionally warm and doesn't require a lot of layers. It keeps me warm, without feeling bulky. Length is also perfect! 10 stars and will buy again and again.

January 18, 2022

Cosy and warm

Love this coat! Warm and cosy - I get very cold and it can fit layers underneath - great pockets and inner pocket, good length. Arrived very quickly, great service. I like that I can undo a zip at the bottom to allow more freedom of leg movement when hiking.

January 17, 2022

Nice and Warm!

I have been wearing this coat daily as I walk my dog in the Northeast freezing weather. It has been nice and warm. It hits me right above my knees which is perfect. I think longer coats really make a difference in terms of warmth. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is that the zipper is tricky. I find it annoying that I have to try several ... Read Moretimes to get it to zip. Coat of this quality should have a higher quality zipper. I have a sense that the zipper is not going to last as long as the coat will.

January 17, 2022

Very cute but too big

I really wanted to love this coat but it is too big. Im not sure if Patagonia has adjusted their sizing across different styles, but I am typically an XS and this coat was too big along with many of the other parka styles I tried. It looks fashionable and is very warm but I had too much space all around to keep it. I am 52 and 105lbs. I found the d...

Treat yourself

I contemplated this purchase for a while before finally biting the bullet and getting it & I haven't looked back since. Its a great jacket which I always have in the winter months. Unfortunately I liked it so much I had to buy my wife the women's version which she equally likes.

Very warm

This replaced a 15 year old Patagonia coat I loved and I love this even more. Its warm but not bulky and appropriate for work or with jeans.

January 10, 2022

Good product except for zipper

The parka exceeded my expectations except for the zipper. The parka fit true to size, had sophisticated lines and lovely fabric. It is light weight, yet warm. However the zipper was flimsy. The reverse zipper function kept jamming. Since I did not want to deal with this frustrating fact on a daily basis, I returned the parka.

January 9, 2022

Exactly what I was looking for

Got this jacket for Christmas and Im super happy with it. Very warm and long to stay warm. I didnt want to have a straight shape that looks baggy and this is perfect.

January 8, 2022

new favorite winter piece

very happy with the coat, it keeps me very warm even if I am only wearing a t-shirt underneath. Reading the reviews, I was a bit confused about the sizing. Because of my larger bust I ultimately chose M, however S would have fit as well (a bit tighter ofc). The only criticism I have is the color, wearing the coat with other black clothing items mak...

Warm, but loose fitting

I like this coat less than the Down With It Parka I bought ~ 5 years ago. It is the warmest, most perfect fitting coat I have ever worn. The description on the website at the time was that "it was like wearing a sleeping bag" and it is so true. This coat - the Jackson Glacier Down Parka is warm, but lighter than the Down With It and loose... Read Morer fitting - kind of hangs on me - so less flattering.

Excellent for cold weather!

Bought to walk my dog in mornings in Utah. Couldnt be better for keeping out the cold!!

Cozy, close-fitting, could use more pocket space

Most importantly, this is comfortable and warm. I've been wearing it in temps slightly above freezing and with enough activity it almost gets too warm, so I can tell it would be good for lower temps. Going to list my smaller issues with it because at such a high price, it's important to have a complete picture of what you're getting.... Read More But I do think it's a good coat overall. I'm 5'4" and 145lb, got a size M, and it fits more like I'd expect an M sweater to fit, which means there's not much room left for layers. There is room for a good base layer or a close-fitting sweater, but not really enough room for a looser or thicker sweater. If you want more room like many coats have, consider sizing up. It could really use more pocket space. A parka makes my pants pockets inaccessible, so it's more important than in other coats. The external pockets are just about big enough to fit a hand, it would be good if they were bigger to better hold a hat or gloves once I'm inside. Even my small phone bulges unpleasantly in them right now. And while the left internal pocket is convenient because you only have to unzip a little to get at it, it would be nice if there was another one on the right side as well. The central zipper goes high up, and due to how stiff it is it's uncomfortable against my chin or throat unless I unzip it pretty far. Which of course means being cold unless I add a scarf which is a waste of the zipper... Would be nice if the top of the zipper were softer or more padded so I could actually zip it all the way without discomfort.

Warmth without bulk

This coat is warm enough for 20 degree weather, without the excess bulk that would normally be required. It is wind and water resistant, though still pretty stylish for the warmth provided. The pockets are strategically placed, and make this a functional coat for around town use in cold weather.

Warmth + Durability

Coziest jacket you will own.

Great jacket. Does really well in the wind, comfortable fit. Has a slight flare at the bottom but I am assuming this is for ease of movement as it goes down to my knees. Would be nice if it was fully waterproof but water resistance seems to be working for now. Highly recommended.

The Warmest Coat I've Ever Owned

Best purchase I have made since my move to Idaho. This jacket is perfect for running events in the snow, and equally great for the early morning dog walk. Super comfortable, not restricting. I do think it runs a bit big, but not enough to size down. Great for layering over a sweater or Snap Tool Pull Over. Would buy again and again!

Perfect jacket, except the hood

This jacket is everything I was hoping for, except for the hood. It's an insulated / down-filled hood which is wonderful, but it's just way too small to fit longer hair.

Gorgeous parka!

This parka is well designed, warm, and stylish. I purchased after trying out the Glacier Jacket (short version) and deciding that style was not warm enough for my needs. Actually, I saw a few neighbors wearing the longer Glacier Parka at a neighborhood cafe and it was love at first sight. Despite my petite frame (nearly 5'4, 110lbs, 32c), the ... Read Morelength and fit of the size Small offers a better experience than the size X-Small. The hood and zipped collar of the XS felt too constricted and uncomfortable when fully zipped, and the Small felt just right. I would size up if you want some flexibility to add thick layers, or if you are like me and prefer some extra room. The extra room did not result in a poor fit overall, as I wore it recently during a severe wind event without feeling a draft; it held up very well. I can comfortably wear both a Better Sweater and Down Sweater, or only a t-shirt and am still warm, so it is versatile. If you can try in person, I suggest comparing with layers you plan to wear often with the jacket. The zipper does get stuck when putting it on, but that is the only flaw I have experienced so far.

Fit is perfect. Im about 160lb and Thr medium fits great. Still room for layers but feels fit enough with just one. Super duper warm - although I havent tested it in the deep winter yet.

I also liked Patagonia Tres 3-in-1 parka, but I was afraid it would not be warm enough on snowy or icy days. Jackson Glacier is a really nice parka.

I have been eyeing this jacket for a couple years but couldnt justify the price. So I waited, reading the reviews and keeping it in mind. I finally got it (on sale) and overall, I really do love it! I am super happy with it but for a couple of things. I am 54, 128 lbs and with the change in Patagonias sizing over the last couples of years, I have g... Read Moreone from a M to a S in most items. So while at the store, I tried on the S and the M, and ultimately went with a S. The shoulders are just a tad too narrow and I have found this with other jackets. My shoulders are not unusually wide, but I seem to need a quarter of an inch on each side to have the perfect fit. The collarI saw the previous reviews and they have seemed to fix the previous problems. The jacket comes up to about my mouth and because I often walk my dog in 4 degree weather, it would have been perfect if it was just a bit higher. For next years jacket, maybe you could consider increasing the height about a half an inch to an inch. The pocketsagain I saw the previous reviews and I would say, the overall pocket size is good but give me just another half inch increase in zipper length so the opening is larger. So there I am, walking my dog in 4 degree temps and my hands will freeze if I take off my gloves. I find myself trying to fast forward my podcast through the adds after pulling my cell phone out of the pocket, but with my gloves onI just cant slide my cell phone back in quickly and easily enough. I just need the opening to be bit bigger. Jacket bulgeI would agree with a previous reviewwhen sitting down the bottom of the coat bulges and I have to push it down to smooth it out. Not a big dealI guess that is what you get for wearing what is essentially a sleeping bag. The lengththe length looks great and is perfect for the 59 model on your website but alas, I am only 54 and the jacket falls right at my knees. I love how long it is and I wish it was just an inch shorter so that it fell right above my knee caps. The zipperI have not had any problems with it, and I can see why it could go south. Luckily it can be replaced if anything happens. I have noticed it takes a little extra work to get it started when zipping it up. Not sure how that could be remedied and hopefully this wont become a problem. Arm length.again, give me a half an inch more. Hope the review helps and again, overall, I am very happy with it! PS. Patagonia design team.if you are really reading this...1. Your clothing is pretty awesome and wears great. I have a shirt from sophomore year in high school that I still wear and I am about to be 45 years old! 2. Shoulders run a bit small in some of your stuff. 3. Why does everything usually run so long in the torso? Many women, including myself, tend to have slightly longer legs and shorter torsos. I hope in the future you can look into this in hopes to fit more women. Not all of us can be 59! Thanks!!!

Even though its a tad more heavy & bulky than an ultralight down parka, the extra technical features are well worth it, and its still quite lightweight! I have used it on walks, and also taking kids to the park when Im standing still on cold days, hood up, all the way zipped up, and utilizing the hand warmer pockets and I felt perfectly warm and protected.

Read Mores (e.g., down sweater, synchilla) i wear a medium. there is just something 'off' about the sizing here, hence the middling rating. also, this is a heavy coat, literally. sadly, i have only worn it once. i also have the Arctic Willow Parka (medium) and it is just fine.

Greatest Coat Ever.

I truly do not know what I did before owning this coat. I live in Seattle and it withstands rain and wind like nobody's business. It is a great dog walking coat, tailgating coat, and basically everything coat! I wear it every day from October through April.

Versatility at its best!

This parka is amazing. I use it as a belay parka, for downhill skiing, and running errands around town. It fits perfectly and keeps you warm. I love that I can be out in the elements and not worry about getting wet immediately. It's surprisingly durable too. I love that the zipper has the option to unzip from the bottom--making it great for be... Read Morelaying. Highly recommend!! Well worth the investment!!

Fit is Off

I bought the Jackson parka in XS and S. I love the blue color, length, warmth, but sadly found it has fallen victim to the change in sizes Patagonia instituted sometime in the last few years. I'm 5'6" 115 lbs, and the XS fit perfectly except the shoulders were too narrow and the sleeves were about 1/2" too short. The S was way t... Read Moreoo big. I'm a little bit of an idiot because for two years I have continued to order jackets and coats from Patagonia, thinking things will have changed. I think I've tried on every single down coat they make, which is a pain now that they mostly have to come and go by mail. This year, I'm making the official switch to other brands that still seem to fit and are increasingly ethically sourced. Patagonia, I love your products when they fit, and I want to support you. Can I sign up to receive a memo if/when you change your sizing again?

Wonderful Winter Coat

My GF who lives in Minnesota told me to go out and get this coat as Im moving to Chicago and need to deal with much harsher winters then Im used too. She was right! This is a great coat! Super warm and thin (doesnt look or feel bulky on). I dont have any complaints.

Love!

I live in Minneapolis, MN, and have been looking for the "right" knee-length parka for 5 years. I tried several over the years and fell in love with this one. It is very classic, has just the right amount of cinch in the waste so it flatters the figure (this is very important to me as to not look like a marshmallow), perfect length, perfe...

The only coat that can keep me warm

This parka is amazingly warm and cozy, with only small imperfections. Yes, the zipper and collar end in an uncomfortable spot if fully zipped, but honestly, if it's that cold out I generally have the hood on and adjusted and then it's no problem. I'm 5'4" and about 110 pounds with broad (15") shoulders. The XS fits jus... Read Moret right with room to layer underneath. I have extremely low blood pressure and this is the first parka I've found in 20 years of searching that truly keeps me warm. It's served me well in upstate New York in sleet and rain, and was the only outer layer I took with me on a winter hiking trip to Iceland. I hiked three nearly vertical miles in knee-deep snow in this and never got chilly. Thank you Patagonia!

Best. Coat. Ever.

Got this coat for my birthday and while I didnt think I would need it for at least another month, winter decided to make an appearance early in Colorado. It has not disappointed! Super warm, comfy, and provides easy mobility! Love the seamless design, the cuff sleeves, and the hood. The DWR is also super useful and seems more waterproof than anythi... Read Moreng.

Favorite Winter Coat

Living in Chicago this coat is perfection for me. Its super light compared to my old parka I was replacing, and I love the sleek look so I dont totally look like a marshmallow. Runs a little big but I dont mind as I wear a lot of thick sweaters in the winter anyway. Lastly, the hood is an awkward shape BUT I actually dont mind cause it fits over a ...

Worth it!

At first, I had a hard time choosing between this jacket and the traditional Down With It parka. I deliberated in the store for FAR too long trying on each one over and over again. I was worried that this wouldnt be as warm as I needed it to be, but I was happily proven wrong. I ended up choosing the Jackson Glacier Parka mainly because of the fit,... Read More and the DWR exterior. I found that this fit way better for traditional sizing than the down parka, and I didnt need to size up. For reference, Im 30 y.o., 5 ft 7 inches,140 lbs, 32b, and I carry most of my weight in my lower half with a smaller upper body. I got this in a small, and it couldnt be more perfect. I am plenty warm enough with just a long sleeve tshirt, but I can also fit a more bulky sweater/sweatshirt underneath if need be. I live in CT, where we have very temperamental New England weather. This has been great in all weather, and held up in wet conditions better than just a down jacket could. It keeps me warm in under 20 degree weather no problem. I have plenty of room in both upper body (arms, chest), and lower body (hips, butt, thighs), without anything squeezing. Absolutely love it, and so happy with this purchase!

Zipper Malfunction

I loved this coat so much. It’s super warm. I go to college in Northern Indiana where it’s pretty much in the negative wind chills all winter. I got this coat last winter, and almost one year later it’s broken. The left side zipper must have been stitched incorrectly because the stitches are all coming up, and I am no longer able to zip my coat up.... Read More The right side is fine it is only the left zipper that is completely messed up. I’m very frustrated because this is not a cheap coat, and I would have hoped it wouldn’t malfunction in one year of use. I will now be cold and unable to zip my coat up all winter at college because it would take them four weeks to get me a new coat, but I need a coat. I won’t be able to get a new one until spring. Very upset with Patagonia for the first time ever.

Zipper doesn’t stay zipped

I’ve had this jacket for a few weeks. Recently, the zipper will open mid- coat when the jacket is zipped up. It’s incredibly annoying, especially since the nearest store is not close. Wish the zipper would match the price tag and quality of the rest of the jacket.

Hi Ashley, thanks for taking the time to write us a review! We're really sorry to hear about the trouble you've had with the zipper not staying put.

So far so good!

I was very excited to try out this coat, it's the first piece of Patagonia wear I have bought and so far have been pleasantly surprised by how warm this coat is. I am 5ft11 and size 12, the size medium fits well with room for a thick jumper without feeling to puffy or Large. Great wrist detail with the fitted cuffs and the hood has extra tog...

My only small criticism with this coat is that when zipped up to the top the collar digs into my neck, unsure how much this is down to the design and my neck shape. Apart from this, I can see that this coat will be a life long staple in my sustainable wardrobe!

Warmest Parka

Love the clean look, warmth and wind resistance.

The best coat I've ever owned

Can't believe it took me so long to find a coat this great. It fits beautifully. I don't look like walking marshmallow. It's also so warm. Been wearing it recently in 20° weather and haven't needed a hat or gloves (the pockets are lined). Even on warmer days, I find excuses to wear it.

LOVE

Another win from Patagonia! I live in Vail, CO and this jacket has proven itself in the latest cold spell, when temps were in the single digits! For a parka it’s super flattering. The regular fit is awesome.

The parka is perfect but

The parka is perfect but I have a comment on your package. I received the coat in a very small package that didn't look attractive. I ordered a bigger size first at Bergfreunde and they sent the parka in a big box that really felt as a present to yourself. Your package did not and the coat looked ugly in te beginning because it was wrapped so ... Read Moretigth.

Lovely coat

This parka seems really warm but I haven’t actually used it yet. The big test will be it’s outing to Austria very soon. The quality is good and I chose this particularly because of the ethical and environmental reuse of the down filling.

Great coat!

Fabulous winter jacket, perfect for life in the alps. Long, warm, waterproof. I bought this to replace an older model which had a much tighter fit and no hood. This enables me to fit any layers required underneath, work outfit etc, without feeling tight or bulky. Love love love it!!!

Fits a little large but medium was too small. Hood not warm or comfortable
