I brought this coat for my daughter who's in college and she loves it. Having a very warm coat that's light is a must for her. The collar adds elegance to the coat so it's wearable daily or when going out to dinner. We made the right choice.
I was very surprised at the quality of this coat. With the white shell I was able to see all the feather/down stuffing. I was extremely disappointed and had to return the coat. The sizing was perfect and the style was great, too. It was just the fact that I could see all the insulation through the nylon outer cover of the coat. Hence, I returned it immediately.

It's been an especially cold winter and this is just what I needed for walking 10-15 minutes to and from garage to work every day. Love all the features - inside cuffs on sleeves, zip pockets, zip and snap closure. The only thing I'm less than crazy about is the style of the hood - it might be nice to have some way to cinch it closer to face. Fortunately my husband showed me how to adjust it with the velcro in back so it doesn't fall over my face!

Ordered this as a Christmas present for myself. It's the best winter coat I've ever had. Very well made, great design. The fitted cuffs prevent cold air from going up the sleeves, the pockets are fleece-lined - it's like having built-in mittens! I love the double zipper too. The coat is so light-feeling when you have it on, but super warm & comfortable. My only regret is that I didn't get one of these coats a long time ago - it's excellent!
