Men's N-3B Parka,Black,X-Large

very well made parka, the snorkle feature is great. After 2 Air Force tours, Alaska and North Dakota I learned how to stay warm in way below zero temps. I highly recommend the Alpha N3b, there are imitations out there, but while somewhat expensive this one is better. Also I dont do well with down, it loses warmth when wet. This one is polyester, stays warm if you get it wet.

This is an awesome parka. I was looking for a flight style coat for the coming winter and found it. It is well put together and feels very nice. It is very bulky, but that is to be expected for extreme cold weather. The hood is soft, comfy, and huge. Not too sure about wearing the hood, but the rest of the coat is a definite winner. I've got a gut, so I ordered a little big, and I shouldn't have, I should have listened to the sizing chart on their website. This thing is awesome! Update: I had to come back and add to this review. I've had this jacket for a little over 3 years. I don't wear it a lot, because it is so warm, it has to be pretty cold to need it, and Kansas City doesn't get that cold. Well, today it did. It is -6 degrees, with a windchill of -25F. I had to change a tire on the side of the road in the open wind. This jacket performed amazingly! It is soft enough to allow free movement, and warm enough that I survived the ordeal without freezing. Everywhere the jacket covered, stayed warm. I am so thankful that I bit the bullet and bought this.

As described. Arrived well packed. Very warm jacket. Looks good. Thank you!!

Water repellant outside, warm and surprisingly light. I have had heavy coats in the past. This is the only one I don't need to worry about freezing my behind off. With a good set of gloves and this baby zipped up you can keep nice and warm until you reach your destination. Pros: Very good at insulating Light and slender for it's intended purpose many pockets extends past belt line to protect your belly water repellant outside a big plus when dealing with winter mix weather. internal elastic cuffs that help work in conjunction with winter gloves to keep weather off of your hands/wrists. fur hood liner thing is removable Cons: Inside pocket doesn't zip and isn't that deep so if you put something in there and bend down it could fall out. Kind of a pain to get the fur liner thing off and back on... Wish there was a really big pocket to put things like gloves and hats in. Not that big of a deal I just put one glove in one pocket and the other in another pocket. Bottom line: I love this parka and would buy it again. It seemed pretty expensive but the first time I stepped outside in to mother nature's wrath I was very glad I had it!

This a good quality parka for the price. I would recommend this to anyone needing a very warm coat but doesn't have the budget for something high-end like Canada Goose. The overall quality is good. The outer shell is nylon and has a glossy sheen to it. It does not let the wind through. The nylon is water-resistant, however, I would not wear it in a hard rain. I'm sure a hard rain would eventually soak through the nylon. The stitching is solid and doesn't seem like it will rip apart anytime soon and the parka is long enough to cover my butt. It has a drawstring on the inside to seal the bottom of the coat to keep the wind out. You will have to tie the drawstring yourself though. The coat is very warm but only if you know how to PROPERLY layer your clothes. Don't just throw this on over a T-shirt in 10 F weather and expect to stay warm unless you're working hard and generating some body heat. And no, your Fruit of the Loom longjohns with the waffle pattern that you bought at Wal-Mart is NOT a proper base layer. I've worn this coat in 5 F weather with properly layered clothes and I stayed toasty warm. And I'm generally a cold-natured person. I could see this coat easily working down to -20 F. I have doubts about -50 F though. Maybe if you had some exceptional quality clothes underneath it. (Fortunately it never gets anywhere near that cold here in the Midwest where I live) Contrary to what others are saying, the sizing is spot on. Take the time and actually read the sizing chart. I found the waist size to be the best indicator for properly sizing the coat. I'm 5' 9" ~170 lbs with a 34" waist. The medium fits me well. It has enough extra room to wear several layers of clothing underneath without a lot of empty space between the coat and my clothes. If you have doubts after reading the sizing chart then I would recommend one size up. Honestly, I don't understand a lot of these reviews on here where people say the sizing is way off. Most of them are complaining about a XXX-Large not fitting them!? These coats are cut for normal-shaped people. Perhaps you guys should be shopping in the Big & Tall department! Or go on a diet! :P There are some things about the coat that I don't like. The yarn loops to hook the storm flap buttons feel weak and I suspect they will eventually come off after repeated use.The same with the yarn that holds the storm flap buttons on the coat itself. They just feel weak.The hood is another issue for me. It feels like the hood is too short and presses down on the top of my head. I find myself having to bend my neck a little and look down to alleviate the pressure. I usually wear a high-quality trapper hat instead so this is not a big issue for me. And if you do wear the hood and zip the coat all the way up be prepared to have the faux fur in your mouth and eyes all the time. However, the faux fur liner is removable. Overall, it's a good coat and I would recommend it. I'm sure the quality is nowhere near as good as it used to be 20+ years ago. That's to be expected though since everything is made in China these days. It sucks but that's just the reality of our world now. :(

Awesomesauce!!! I have been an Amazon customer for years. This has got to be the BEST purchase I have ever made! As stated previously, this parka runs a little big, but exactly what I wanted due to layering. I am 6’1” and 220 pounds and usually wear a XL or XXL. I ordered a 3XL and it fits exactly as I wanted. The sleeves are not too long, as has been mentioned in other reviews. The hood fits well and there are two sets of outer pockets. I immediately put it on, as we are experiencing -26 wind chill, and it kept me extremely toasty. An excellent value for an exceptional product!

This N3-B Snorkel-Parka is comfortable, well made and available in decent sizes! Alpha's size chart is accurate but remember to allow for any extra clothing. Two inches on the chest size is usually good but it's all about personal taste. I have owned Alpha parkas from the mid-1990s and was concerned when they started to use plastic zips - but they are well made, run smoother than the metal versions and offer a better seal (IMO). Even though they contain a synthetic filler they are very warm but look 'cooler' than any other parka on the market! For those that are concerned about the fur-trim (removable) it is also synthetic. Most of the more expensive goose-down filled parkas come with a real-fur trim, so a plus if such things are not to your liking. In short: Well made, looks fantastic, very warm, good sizes available and a good price tag. Thank you Alpha Industries.

A much nicer and better made version of the snorkel parka I had back in the 70's. Not sure why so many reviews say it runs large. I normally wear a 2XL jacket, but after having my wife do a couple of measurements of my chest and gut (wearing 2 different weights of shirts - dress and heavy, and a light fleece vest as well) according to the size chart I needed a 3XL and that fit perfectly with the heavier shirt and vest combo. I didn't bother with the sleeve length because I wanted it to fit my torso and there isn't anything I could do about the sleeve length. Now bulky, yeah it's bulky. It's a heavy weight winter parka. What did you expect? Well made. Only fault I could find there was one button that I'll have tacked down a bit better, but other than that it was great. Unscientific warmth test - It was 15° this morning and I made my 30 minute commute with my car heater turned off. Stayed warm and toasty the whole trip. (Well, my feet got a bit cold...)

This company has always made quality products,will be buying again 😀👍

Another quicker than estimated delivery...wow...parka itself, like some other customers mentioned, is slightly larger fit, but with tweaking the waist cord it fits closer to the torso, and after putting some sort of sweater on when winter starts hitting us with -30, I am very positive that this parka will do just fine...It is well crafted with lots of useful pockets, hat fits around the face really nice too...Don’t look forward to winter here at all, but am confident that this parka will keep me warm for years to come...would highly recommend it...

あったかいです。コレは本物です。他の方も言われてますが、袖は少し長めですね。

Excellent winter coat, and I live in Alberta Canada, you can't go wrong with Alpha industries.

Very warm ,wear it on my scooter
