Pro: -There are pockets in all the right places. -Fur lining on the hood can be removed. -Velcro on hood is very useful for covering your mouth. -It's surprisingly thin. -Has held up well in light snow. -Nice style & is flattering.
Con: -Not as warm as I would like, but I'm one of those people that is ALWAYS cold, so I guess I technically don't count. :)
Thank you, L.L Bean. There's nothing better than affordable quality!
I love all of the features of this coat except the "fur" trim. The quality of the coat is excellent (zipper, stitching, fabric, warmth) and much better than the competitors except for the "fur" trim on the hood - it looks cheap. At the price point of this coat, the "fur" trim piece should be of higher quality. I kept the coat because of the overall quality but replaced the fur trim piece.
I Looooove this coat. I live where it is very cold (most days are about 20 degrees in the winter) and this coat is Great! Goes to my knees, I'm a bit short 5'. It is very light and not bulky like a down coat I previously wore. It can fit a thick sweatshirt underneath and I am not restricted in my movements at all. With a hat and the hood I do not loose any heat out my head and the fur can block wind or be folded back for better viewing ie while driving a car. THe neck velcro does not close well with a scarf on and a hat but I think that is fine for me. It has cozy pocket if you forget your mittens and one pocket inside for a cell. I love the cheery blue color too!
