This is 600 weight down and very warm without being heavy. It has real raccoon fur (the tag says Asian raccoon) trim on the hood. I have worn this in -40 weather without being cold (well, the parts of my legs not covered by the coat were cold, but you know what I mean...) It is a nice dark brown color with elasticized cuffs, zippered pockets in front, snaps and a zippered front... this coat is thoughtfully made for the cold and nicely styled. It is parka length- I would say mid hip depending on your height. US size 12. I believed I paid about $600 for this coat new, several years ago. It is in great shape!
