From all the positive reviews, I felt confident in buying this coat. However, walking to work 3 blocks here in SD, my arms were cold within the 2 block. I was very disappointed since I had been looking for a warm coat for a long, long time

ProsGreat Value
I love this coat. It is lightweight yet breathable and very warm. It even kept me warm in our December blizzard one week ago with 50mph winds. The hood is great. The faux fur wraps around your cheeks and even keeps them warm. The length is perfect as is the arm length. Great product for the price.
ProsGreat Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
I have had this coat for about a month and it has performed as I hoped. Previously, I wore a wool coat through the winter seasons. I would usually wear a fleece vest under my wool coat to stay warm. Since the coat kept me warm in the recent frigid blizzard conditions, I don't think I will need the vest for most of the season. I was a tad nervous about the available color choices as the darker colors were completely sold out. I ordered the coat in the Dark Raspberry and it is very pretty. I am short (5') and the Petite XS fit me well, with the length hitting my knees. It does run a tad large so you can wear multiple layers if needed. I also love the flexibility of removing the faux fur trim, the hood, or both.
ProsGreat Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
I have this coat in two colors, black and the dark raspberry. It is wonderfully warm and looks great. the raspberry color is great, not a hot pink. I have gotten so many compliments and am glad that I didn't pay attention to the negative comments previously posted. I live in NYC, but also travel to Maine, Michigan and Ontario. I hate tobe cold and with this coat I am feeling wonderful.
