I am 5' 6", 120 lbs and wear a 4/6 so I ordered the Small. I was swimming in it! Other than the size issue, I thought it was a beautiful, nicely designed coat.
The parka itself is beautiful! However, I found it to be a bit on the large side (I ordered a M, and I swam in it). Perhaps because it was too large, it didn't block out the wind and cold as I would've liked. Unfortunately, I had to return the coat as it was not to my expectations.
ProsGreat Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
I purchased this coat after reading many reviews. I needed a warm, brightly colored (pink) coat that drivers could see when I am walking my dog both in the early morning & late at night. I also needed a warm coat for afternoons at the dog park. This parka fits the bill. I ordered the coat on Monday & it arrived on Thursday, perfect timing for the northeaster that is rapidly approaching the east coat. The coat is long enough to cover my body to the thighs & despite it's light weight is very warm. I love it!
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
Overall, this parka is extremely warm for my MN weather, and quite comfortable. Whether I'm outside or sitting in a cold hockey rink, I'm not the one shivering. This is my first down jacket and I'm very impressed! The only problem I have with the parka is that the area around my upper back/arms seems tight. I returned the size small and got a medium which improved the issue but didn't resolve it. As no one else has commented on this issue, perhaps it's my odd shape. :)
