So, this is an interesting coat, to say the least. (1) the puffy sleeves and chest part feel awesome. So delightful, like a cloud of cotton candy, but without the artificial colors and flavors. (2) but then the part in black down the sides is made of a different fabric, and not padded. It’s like…they decided to put together a coat with a jacket. So I wouldn’t suggest buying it for the coldest of winter days. (3) I look a bit like a linebacker in it. I think this is a result of me being rather petite in the bust area, so if you have typical measurements up top, I’m sure you won’t have the same problem. I wore it a few times for snowshoeing and was comfortable in terms of body temp.
