Being a tall girl (5'9") shaped like a pear, I needed something that would cover the essentials without feeling uncomfortable. This fit the bill. The sleeves are long, the length is fabulous, and there is no snug at the hip feel at all. The other reason for a coat of this caliber was that I needed something to shield me from our pervasively cold, midwest temps. When I put this fluffy wonder on, it's like zipping up in the warmest, coziest, sleeping bag soft windbreak I've ever experienced. I've taken it out for a spin in negative temps and windchills straight from hell, only to be perfectly temperate, almost too cozy at times. Upon reading some of the lower ratings, some have said the zipper is problematic. In an attempt to curb that minor detail, I just applied some soap to the bottom portion of the zipper for better glide and it's not had an issue at all as of yet. I like that the pockets are high, and lined with the softest material. The only thing I find I would have liked is zippers or snaps, as well as a bit more depth in the pockets. Not a deal breaker, just a preference I would have liked. And, though I sized up, the body fits nice and loose, but the arms are proportionately narrow (note, I do not have huge arms). I think this is due to the fact that there's a significant portion of down that has not fully settled or design mechanics gone slightly off. At any rate, if you have bigger arms, this may not be the one for you.

On a side note: It is not a lightweight coat, so buy a heavy duty hanger.

I bought this parka for a trip to Chicago when it was projected to feel like -20F. It's almost a perfect coat! So cozy, comfy and warm! The cut fit my shape (plus sized, but the cut made it not look like a giant sleeping bag). Perfect pocket placement (and deep enough to stuff a hat/gloves/cell phone). I didn't fully understand the value of the straps until I was in a greenhouse without coat check and I could wear it like a backpack--so great! The length was perfect, lower mid-calf (I'm 5'7").

The hood is huge and I wish it fully closed across the chin, but I wore a scarf the whole time which kept it up. The thing I liked least about this awesome parka was the arm decal. The design is fine but the wording "COMFORT IS BETTER FITOUCH" I really didn't care for. I ended up covering it with a black adhesive nylon patch.

The price is right and the cozy warmth was worth everything in blowing snowy weather. I can't wait to wear it again!

Such a nice coat! I'm a Californian from Arizona, I am no match for cold weather. I purchased this for a winter nyc trip and it kept me so cozy and warm. The best part is it also kept my butt and legs warm, which meant my feet were warmer too. The pockets are fuzzy and kept my hands comfy. There were a couple rainy and windy days and this kept both out. I think the complaints on the "huge" hood might be due to the visor, which keeps rain and snow away from your face, and folds back with little magnets when not needed (great design detail). I loved the double zipper which lets the coat open up more so I could walk with longer strides.

Honestly one of the best wardrobe purchases ever. I'm usually wear a size 6 and the M fits well with a thick sweater underneath.

This is the best friggin coat I’ve ever had and I am so thankful! I’m freezing, even in mild weather, and jackets from Northface and Columbia have never truly kept me warm in freezing temps. My depressing and inactive winter life might be over thanks to this jacket. I love that it covers my legs, and it unzips at the bottom of you need more leg room for getting in and out of the car, walking the dog, etc. I wear it to the dog park and get dirt/mud all over me- it easily wipes off with just water. The hood has amazing coverage but I do like that it can be removed. As a person who is miserable in the cold, I can’t believe I waited so long to buy a long coat. This one more than fits the bill. I’m 5’9 150lbs and the large is perfect. It comes down to my lower-mid calf, sleeves are long enough, and it’s roomy enough to wear sweaters underneath without feeling like a packed sausage. Love love love love. If you’re cold, buy it.

5’2, could have gotten a xs but I prefer it comfortable and not tight. So I got a small. From 125lbs-100lbs (had a weight fluctuation due to medical reasons) I’ve fit it and it hasn’t been tight at all. The arms are the perfect length, I can layer up and it still wouldn’t be tight or bulky, perfect for me! Might be on the longer side (nears the lower quarter of my calves) but I don’t mind. These will keep you warm for sure. Living in Canada and visiting Minnesota often , this has kept me very warm. The only jacket I ever wear during the winter. Love it! The pockets are higher up, the hood is very deep and big, and has pockets on the inside which was awesome. Cost efficient and so so warm and worth it.

Super Daunenmantel, der wirklich warm hält und weder Wind noch Regen durchlässt, und das für den Preis - klare Kaufempfehlung!
