20 Best Winter Coat Sale (2022 Updated)

This is a comfortable all-purpose coat. The omni-heat is not as warm as down, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I can walk to the store, unzip when I arrive, and not overheat or feel overstuffed like I would with a down parka.

This winter (coldest day so far 16F) the coat has been warm enough over just a T-shirt while walking. That’s a pleasantly light feeling. Some reviewers complain that the sleeves are rather long. Not a problem for me as I have long arms.

I like the cuff snaps. When cinched the cuffs can go inside gauntlet gloves, and when uncinched, short gloves can go under the sleeves. Either way, the sleeves do not gap if I raise my arms. The armholes would be snug on me over a thick sweater, so a little more space there or preferably pit zips would be a nice addition.

The chest pocket on the outside is roomy for my phone, and I like being able to access it without opening the coat. Things don’t fall out of the upright lower pockets as they can with slanted pockets.

So, lots of good points, but some design critiques for the hood. Two inches more space at the back would make it a lot better. Right now if I cinch it, it puts tension on the back of the coat, which is annoying.

The lining does keep my ears warm. The hood’s fur strip tends to gap between the buttons – snaps at 1″ intervals might work better. And, this is a very minor nitpick, was it really necessary to put orange Velcro on the back of the olive coat’s hood? The other colors don’t have contrasting Velcro.

All in all though, a nice warm coat for winter weather and I’m a fan of omni-heat.

When my zipper broke on my trusty old winter coat it took FOR. EV. ER to find just the right one to replace it and this is IT! It runs true to size and is a slim, flattering cut, but not overly fitted, so I can wear my normal size with a sweatshirt underneath without feeling like I’m going to bust the seams.

It’s long enough to keep my behind out of the wind and is quite warm without being heavy or bulky. The heft of it is just right to feel like good quality without being overly burdensome and the lining is so silky smooth it goes on like buttah – no fabric sticking on fabric when you put it on.

I love the big pockets that actually have room for things AND close to keep them secure. One of my favorite features of this guy is actually the hood because the perfect hood is hard to find! It’s not too big or small and the faux fur trim is removable, which I love because I’m not normally a fur girl.

And I discovered that if you have the faux fur trim attached you can flip it forward for extra wind protection. It has a double zipper, so you can unzip the bottom and it’s long enough to need that for sitting or taking long strides, but the double zipper is the only thing I’ve had a bit of an issue with on this coat.

Sometimes it’s a bit sticky and takes a bit of effort to get both zippers on far enough to work. Otherwise it has been perfect for a cold, Midwest winter. Personally I find it a bit too warm if the outdoor temps are above freezing and I have a hard time shelling out $200 for any article of clothing, but lucky for me I got a wicked deal on it and I’m loving it!.

I cannot vouch for the performance of this jacket for warmth as I do not plan on keeping it. I do own several other omni-heat products, and I would say they are great for retaining warmth without the bulk, and more breathable than my Columbia jacket with just regular lining.

It is roomer than the usual sizing, in my opinion. I think this is great because I think it is expected that you can buy your usual size in a winter jacket, but be able to fit at least a heavy sweater inside and still be able to move! I wish this jacket had pockets from the side that is easier to slide hands in (and line them with flannel), but I did like that there are large pockets that are secured with snaps.

I also liked the length of the jacket. Having a jacket that covers the bum and top of the thighs really makes a difference in a cold prairie winter! What ruined the jacket for me was the removable faux fur trim for the hood.

It sticks, out at the ends and you have no way of tightening the hood around your face. The faux fur was really cheap and came flattened and I don’t think the material is going to be “fluffable” and is thin to start with.

In this case, it would’ve been better to have no fur trim, and just have a string or cord that allows you to tighten the hood around your face. I also disliked that it went on sale for $30 less just a few days after I bought it! Also Columbia – I’ve put in my return info on your website correctly multiple times and it doesn’t recognize my order.

I’m pretty chapped about that, because now I have to phone, but couldn’t because for some reason, Nov 25 is a closure date for the company. Grr.

For reference, I’m 5’3, about 125 pounds, waist 26 in, hips 34 in. Pros: Length and overall fit – it falls right above the knee for me (I’m much shorter than the model), and the sleeves are long enough to keep me warm but are not TOO long (there’s also a little stretchy insert at the end of the sleeves, which you can easily tuck into gloves).

There’s a little scrunch in the back of the coat, which gives the overall fit a bit more shape. MOST IMPORTANT: will fit an average-bulk sweater underneath without the torso or the sleeves being too tight, which is a huge plus.

The hood is nice and snug. Cons: Not warm enough for the Chicago winters. I bought this specifically because it was recommended as a good dog-walking jacket (husky mom here – he throws fits about having to come back inside between October and March, so I need to be prepared lol), and the coldest it’s been so far when I wore it was 25 degrees F, but I can’t say it actually kept me completely warm.

For the price and highest “Warmth” rating, I definitely expected more. It would be okay for typical running-to-the-car or even walking-to-the-train purposes, but unless you wear realllllly warm layers underneath, this wouldn’t be enough for anything longer than that.

Also, the outer shell material somehow seems to attract an absurd amount of fur, which isn’t easily brushed off, and that alone would not be the dealbreaker for me, but I did not expect it in a waterproof jacket.

Overall, I’m keeping it because I didn’t realize all of the above until I’d already worn it a few times and actually have a warmer jacket from a different company already, but if you’re looking for something that will keep you warm in terrible temperatures for an extended period of time, I’d keep looking.

At first wash, the bottom open up and al the inside white fill was outside I repaired it by hand, so now is ok-ish, but the white filling is keep moving around all over the jacket and it makes like lamps which doesnt look ok, plus cold can come in through there so easily I havent returned as I already fixed it by sewing the bottom, but now I regret I didnt.

Overall will be a nice jacket, but I check reviews and looks like Im not the only one when after washing the bottom just break so I guess they need to sort out this issue, by adding a better sewing technique , as is all around the jacket except the bottom.

It’s good value for money. At first sight I didn’t think much of it as it is lightweight. However it is water proof, warm and keeps the cold out even on a wet and blustery day. I’ve had quite a few compliments too!.

I bought the same jacket 2 years ago but it was completely different, very warm one. Now this jacket is poorly made, thin, almost no filling. I’m very disappointed.

I bought this jacket for myself while it was on sale. It’s great! Super warm and cozy! The materials are smooth and comfortable, and the fit is stylish. It’ll look great with casual looks, but I think it’ll also go well for slightly dressier occasions because of the classic looking style.

The zipper pulls move effortlessly. I haven’t tried them with gloves on yet, but they’re not too fiddly without gloves, so I expect them to do well. My only complaint is the sleeves. I have very long arms and torso, and it’s very difficult to find jackets that fall at my wrist and below my hips.

My preference is for sleeves to come down on my hands a little, which makes finding a comfortable jacket even harder. I thought if I ordered a Tall, that’s the sleeves would come down onto my hands a bit, but they don’t.

They still come down right at the wrist, which is great compared to regular jackets, but I guess I was looking at the pictures for this jacket too much and expected it to land like the sleeves on the green jacket does in the pictures Eddie Bauer lists.

The torso fits great though, and the sleeves aren’t a big enough issue to me to return it, but just keep in mind that the sleeves don’t come down passed the wrists even in the tall. Otherwise I’m sorry happy with this jacket and I’m looking forward to the many tears of use I’ll get out of it!.

As other reviewers have said, this coat is SO heavy & thick! It’s just way too cumbersome. I live in Chicago, so I need a warm coat, but warmth & heaviness don’t have to go hand in hand. Another thing I hate about this coat is that the hood is enormous! Trust me, I am very picky about hoods & one thing that really bothers me is when a hood is too small.

I’ve returned coats for this reason alone, so I was looking for a hood that provided adequate coverage, but this on is just way too big. It actually comes down over my eyes when I have it up (& this is without the fur attached).

The sherpa lining inside the coat makes it too warm for most days (the same reason I had to return the Lodge Cascadian) – and I am always cold. I also think the sleeves are a tad too short & the cuffs are too loose around my wrists.

As others have said, the zipper is not smooth & does get caught on the fabric. And for some reason, the pull thing on the zipper is really big. That’s not a big deal, but it’s just another thing that bugs me.

The pockets are fleece lined, which is nice, and they are decent enough, but I still feel like they could be a bit bigger. I am 5’4, 125 lbs. , got the small & it fits well. It hits just above my knees.

I’m returning this one & will be on the hunt again for something warm but much lighter & with a normal size hood.

This really is a beautiful coat-I purchased at reduced cost (why I rated 5 stars for value). I purchased for a trip to the northern climes this winter. Wanted a longer coat than my ski jacket. I like that it wasn’t a shiny material (purchased Atlantic color) like other down coats.

I usually wear a Large, but sized up as I find EB jackets are often too narrow at the hips. The style of this coat is very slimming. I was just not a fan of the hood. Loved the look with the fur trim, but goodness it is huge no matter how I adjusted it (tab on back, pulls on side).

I guess if you were also wearing a knit pom hat it might work, but I think your noggin would melt with a hat and this insulated hood. The lining was nice, easily to pull on over sweaters or fleece. I decided to return the coat for a few reasons: 1) the hood 2) the XL reg wasn’t the best fit for me-sleeves too long, too big across back 3) I like a 2 way zipper, but found the zipper on this coat got stuck in inner flap pulling up or down 4) it’s very heavy for a down coat.

But hey. it is called the Sun Valley Arctic Down coat for a reason. I had also ordered it XL Petite thinking it might fit better and it was now half off. But, pretty sure I’ll be returning this one too for reasons noted once I receive it.

But, if you have a need for a really stylish, really warm coat, that the giant hood is manageable for you and you are better at zipping coat on and off, go for it! You’ll look great and be toasty warm! And, if you get it on sale, you’ll be even happier you ordered it.

To meet my travel needs, I bought the EB MicroTherm 2. 0 packable down jacket with hood that I can layer under my EB Windfoil Elite hooded waterproof coat (which is surprisingly warm, packable and definitely stylish).

I can layer this coat over the down jacket and fleece topper (if needed) and still have room to move.

Staying warm in this amazing Parka style coat is no problem. This is the coat you want to wear if you are in freezing temperatures. It will keep you warm in temperatures up to -30 degrees C. or -22 degrees F.

That is really cold. The Parka is made vegan, it contains no animal products, no feathers and no fur. The hood has a detachable faux fur trim. It is beautiful and very appealing. The parka is made with down to hold warmth, and the look is awesome.

The pockets on the outside are large and functional with Velcro closure. It has inside lining patch pockets for cellphone and charger. It also has ribbed knit cuffs with thumb holes and adjustable Velcro to hold the sleeves tight.

There ae zipper pockets on the front for easy access and they are very stylish. The coat is mid-length with an angle up on the sides and it has a drawstring, inner adjustable bungee cord at the waistline for customizing the perfect fit.

The parka has a full zipper that is heavy duty and will zip from the bottom to the top. You can be safe at night because it even has a reflective trim for nighttime visibility. The color is rich and the looks great on.

This coat quite honestly and I don’t care if it’s 104° out, makes me feel like I am in a movie and I really belong there. Maybe it’s because I’m from Florida and I’m not used to this kind of outerwear.

But I don’t think so. I mean come on I can wear it with boots with a dress with nothing I’m still feel like I look amazing. By the way I do go up to Colorado and it is really warm so it has actual technical value too.

But I have gone out in the freezing cold in shorts because they look good. So besides yes it keeps me very very warm but it is just so perfect. Additionally the huge Hood is great for little quick cat naps or for when your cohort wants to shut you up??they can just drop it right over your head and problem solved! To be honest it is really so great the only thing I can say about it in regards to reviews, is that I didn’t seem,, to me that it ran bigger or smaller.

it seems to be right on point. Currently it’s not cold enough in Florida yet to wear it but it isn’t a display case in my living room and everyone loves it. Seriously though I’ve had to break it out twice so far and I practically have to chain it to myself, everyone loves it.

The price obviously is great too. I just really can’t find a negative and I really wish I could to kind of even out this review but. Okay wait I got one. The tag is kind of hard to get off. That’s all I got.

The best by the way does not zip out so it’s not like two jackets and one which I did think that maybe the inside best did about but it doesn’t and at first I thought that was kind of a negative but actually it makes it lay really really much smoother.

Before I start like drooling over myself, I’m going to wrap it up by saying I really, and I mean I really love this coat.

I love softshell jackets, because you get extra warmth, without the stiffness & bulk. This is a very well made coat, and it looks much more expensive than it was. All of the details are well done, and it doesn’t look ‘cheap’.

I was debating between a L & XL, but got the XL, to allow for bulkier sweaters, underneath. The XL was way too big. I tried just pulling the waist tighter, but then is flared out funny at the bottom, and it was still huge on top.

The XL was so big, I’m actually hoping the lg isn’t also too big. One negative is that the neck is extremely wide. Zipped all the way up, I could fit my hand through the gap at the neck. In colder weather you would definitely need a scarf.

I wanted to just exchange for a lg, but Zulily only issues store credit. Now I’m waiting for them to receive the return, and process the credit, so I can rebuy the Lg. I’m hoping it’s still in stock, by the time I get the credit.

They’re not exactly fast about processing. **Note: Zulily does not credit freight, they charge you for the return, and then you need to pay freight AGAIN, for the replacement. That takes the ‘great’ deal, down to just an ‘ok’ deal.

It’s absolutely perfect. I am 5’5” 125. I am a size large because of my chest and long arms. I have a disability I can’t get into but Part of it means the more weight I wear for clothing the colder I get.

If it’s a wool jacket or a thin cotton shirt I will be warmer in the shirt because of my condition. I don’t have normal circulation. Anyway I like fuzzy things so I can wear a tank top under and stay warm in the winter when I have to go see my sons sports.

I am in love with this jacket. It’s warm and fuzzy all through the sleeves as well unlike some others I have purchased which has been a nightmare for me. The hood is perfectly designed so it’s wide enough to go over your head and designed to not fall into your eyes! I would post a pic on here if I could but there isn’t a spot for me to do it.

Large is not too small or too big. If I needed to wear layers under it I would have gotten an XL. It does have a clincher to not make u look wide around the waist if u want it to highlight ur waistline.

Although it hasn’t been blustery cold yet. I know this coat will be great!! Zulily didn’t have a lot of info described for this U2wear coat. so I found their website. This coat has a fleece lining inside, around the chest.

2-way zipper. The pockets can be used 2 ways. straight up & down, or there is a hidden slanted pocket ‘underneath’ the placard pocket, and both have fleece inside. There were a lot of great reviews for temperature rating on this coat.

And it really is a beautiful teal color. I’m 5’6” and it hits right at my knees. Hope this helps!.

Where I live, winters can be brutal! This coat is super warm. The inside cuffs keep the cold wind out. The pockets are lined with soft fabric to warm your hands. It has a great shape so you don’t look like you’re wearing a bag! The only this I wish it had is a two way zipper to make getting in & out of the car easier.

True to size.

I bought this coat for the crazy negative temps we’re having in PA this winter. I love it – it’s crazy warm, yet not super heavy. The pockets are flannel lined and have a snap to secure them. There is a large inner pocket as well.

The inner elastic cuffs really help to keep the cold and wind out. With the high neck, I don’t even need to wear a scarf. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the fur lining the hood. It’s not as luxurious as the picture, it’s much thinner.

All in all, I’m very happy with this coat. I will survive the polar vortex just fine.

The sizing chart definitely doesn’t match the jackets. What the sizing chart said an XL should have fit with room and longer sleeves. What the sleeve length stated they should have gone past my wrist, but barely reached my wrist – I’m 6 feet tall so sizing is very important to me.

It was also very tight in the shoulders. I thought I would return it – nothing stated on the jacket information that it was a “Final Sale”. I tried to print a return label and it said it was a final sale and couldn’t be returned.

The only reason I tried purchasing from FREE COUNTRY was because of the positive reviews. This makes me wonder if they truly are reviews from actual purchases or if the company wrote the reviews themselves.

I have contacted the company regarding the return and no response thus far. I’m very disappointed. Theresa MN.

This is the second Free Country jacket I have owned and they last a very long time. My first one is probably close to ten years old and it is still in great shape except for a couple tears in the sleeve, which is the only reason I replaced it.

I love the color of this new one and the fur trim hood is a cute touch. I don’t think this one is quite as warm as my old one, but it is still my go to for long walks in the Minnesota winters. It keeps me very warm and the hood is very roomy.

It is also a very nice looking jacket and I feel good when I wear it. I also get a lot of compliments on its beautiful wine color. I have washed and dried it with no problems. It is also a good length for a tall person.

I look forward to many years with this jacket.

I gave 1 stars mainly because I’ve been ordering free country jackets for over 8 yrs now. BUT, i only gave 1 this time due to the fact they changed the design of this jacket. DEFINITELY NOT LIKING IT ANYMORE!! First, They no longer come with an inside pocket for my cell phone.

They put a pocket on the outside which is to small, maybe for wallet, Definitely not phone. !! i don’t like outside because i could also put small wallet and phone in other pocket and they were hid, outside they are not.

Second , at the end of the sleeves the fabric had a thumb hole, which when used kept my hands more covered and warm especially with arthritis. And third, it feels thinner. I’m only giving it 1 because i like the company.

I sent the coat back. I was going to try to use it with the changes, but once the pocket was too small, i was done. The color white is beautiful, very vibrant, sizes does fit right on. If you wear a jacket under normally, get size bigger.

I did and loved jacket for this nice fit with it. I will no longer be ordering from free country which I’m very sad about. I don’t like change and loved loved the other coat for years. So sad now!!.

As an extremely picky shopper, once I decided to get a new coat this year, I put in due research to find what I wanted. Of course, I found it at Nordstrom. I walk my dog an hour a day no matter the weather so I wanted the attached vest.

I start out cold and end up warm, so the option to unzip the main part of the coat was what I wanted. Also, I wanted green, a good hood (without fur) to keep out the wind and a cinched waist to avoid the Michigan Man look.

Well, today I received the coat and it exceeded my expectations. The color is beautiful, the lining silky soft, and it’s surprisingly lightweight, not bulky or heavy feeling. It’s very flattering, I didn’t know it would look so good, even with my extra 15 Covid pounds.

Wore it with camo leggings and a red hat, felt kind of cute! I’m 55, 173 pounds, usually size 12 pants and 10 (med) tops. Based on other reviews, I sized up to a large allowing for my curves. Also, I’m long armed, but the sleeves are perfect in length when outstretched.

Other viewers mentioned difficulties zipping, or things catching on the zippers, I didn’t notice those issues. I highly recommend this gem!.

I purchased this coat in Merlot and could not have more positive things to say about it. It is gorgeous and feels feminine since it narrows at the waist. I had no issues with feathers (as mentioned by another reviewer).

This coat is a fabulous warm winter coat at an amazing price. The Merlot color is gorgeous. It runs a little big, so there is some room for laters underneath, which is also great, so I ended up keeping my normal size instead of having to size up to account for winter clothing underneath.

So warm, yet sleek. Perfect knee length and has so many high end touches. Great zippers (the inner half zip is great for not too cold days), buttons in addition to 2 sets of zippers (so you can sit down on the train and not have to fully unzip), zipped pockets, adjustable hood, and snow blocking liner on the sleeve openings.

I was ready to spring for a much pricier brand but am so happy I found this (and the other brand is bulkier). I got the olive in M – the color is a great neutral that pops. I’m usually a 6, 32D, the M has room for a chunky sweater and a little extra space.

Cole Haan pls never stop making this coat!!.

Where to start. I liked this little jacket, so I purchased it for my granddaughter. Wanting her to wear it all winter, I bought a size bigger than she’s wearing now. It comes and it’s so tapered in at the waist that she can zip it, but there’s no way she’s going to sit down in it.

Wasn’t about to buy a bigger one, as the sleeves would have been way too long. Bad sizing. Incredibly bad sizing. (Have experienced it when buying from them for myself) Go to return it, and they’re charging me $6 to return it.

Not like it was my fault. I ordered a size bigger than I needed. I sent it back, and it wasn’t received by them for 10 days (UPS), then it took them another 5 to 6 days to return the money to my account.

Surely didn’t take them that long to take it out when I made the purchase. Now I’ll be leery about ordering from the site. Don’t want to order something that I can’t be sure will fit, only to have to pay to return it.

This jacket is beautiful to look at but. I doubt its close to 800 fill. I have another titanium jacket (800 fill) and it’s 1/3 the weight – it is featherweight. I would not recommend this jacket below -4 Celsius.

The word alpine in the name gives a false sense that this is a super warm jacket. It is not. this jacket is good for car rides, where you are going in and out of stores. Also for going out at night. I don’t recommend it for skiing or for spending long moments in cold below -4 celcius.

Temperature in Quebec requires a heavier jacket for winter.

I’m a true 2x 5’7 240/250 pounds I’m always in between on my weight top heavy. And this cost was perfect, it’s long to keep you warm. I also ordered the grey shorter version. The white and grey looks so good toooooo.

I have brown hair and it looks dazzling on me. Comfortable and zips nice. I like that the hood is removable and the fur too. Thank you for carrying plus size. It’s so comfy and you can wear a hoodie under or sweater.

I’m am happy with it. It did take about 10 days to ship out but it came 2 days later from Portland, I live in Cali so I am happy all in all. I knew the shipping would be delayed as the website stated it.

This is a very comfortable coat. It falls just above the knee so it is great for cold or windy weather. It is surprisingly warm in freezing temperatures. The material is very smooth and silky. Nice colors too! I recommend this purchase.

I bought this last year in the Regular XL. I was an 18 at the time. It didn’t close unless I really pulled it. Especially with heavier tops like a sweater. I have lost weight this year and am a big 14 or typical 16.

The XL fits me now. I still wouldn’t call it big though. All my other size 18 coats are big on me this year. I am 5’8″ 195lbs. Not a big chest, but taller build around my back. More apple shaped than hippy.

I would size up if you are slightly between sizes or even if you just want the room for heavy tops. I do like the coat this year! It is very lightweight while still being warm. The hood is a little slippery and likes to fall in my face, but I only wear it for short periods (like walking through a parking lot or something) so it is fine.

I REALLY wish the fur were removable. I just don’t think the black fur is that pretty. I have a older coat with lovely fur trim that I would like to swap, but it seems like a big sewing project to attempt the change.

So I live with it. I did brush it with a natural bristle brush to try to make it more fluffy or something, and it helped a little. I do appreciate the double zipper, but rarely use this feature. If I know I will be sitting soon, I will just use the snaps rather than fussing with the zipper and then trying to unzip it from the bottom.

I love that there are both. It isn’t waterproof, but the nylon shell does repel snow and some light rain for a short while. Overall, I really like the lightweight nature of it and that it isn’t as “puffy” as some down coats, but still is warmer than wool.

I am happy that it fits me this year!.

Good points: – This jacket is exceptionally light weight. – It’s insulated with down and warm enough for driving around / running errands on most Minnesota winter days. – It is 100% nylon both inside and out – the material is soft and slides easily over a sweater or flannel shirt.

– Size 1X is cut very generously (especially in the waist and hips) and easily allows for bulky clothes underneath. – The chevron (V-shaped) quilting is more figure flattering than straight-line / vertical quilting.

Bad points: – The sleeves are rather short and my shirt sleeves poke out from the cuffs. – There is only loose elastic in the cuffs which doesn’t keep out cold air. Many Lands’ End winter jackets have an inner knit cuff – that would improve this item a lot.

– I got this in Deep Sea Navy with a bright blue lining in the hood and jacket interior. Although I like the bright blue better than the rather boring navy, sticking to one color – like the solid Black and solid Limelight versions – would make it easier to match this jacket with a scarf and hat.

I recommend this jacket but not at full price – if I didn’t get it at a really good sale price, I would not have bought it.

I have a LE puffy vest (the 600+) that takes me down to 25 degrees with a sweater. I needed something with sleeves so ordered this slightly different version. Out of the package I was worried because it was SO thin (actually wrinkled!) May be true to size but slightly large on me, okay if I want to wear extra sweater layer underneath.

Pockets are HUGE and deep. Easily holds phone, keys, various small animals, and a sandwich if that’s your thing. Especially cold day in Chicago yesterday — 11 degrees, sunny — so I wore it for a walk over a single thick long-sleeved shirt, jeans, gloves, hat and earmuffs.

Walked for about 45 minutes. Only part of me that got cold were my legs in the jeans and my hands in the gloves. Perfectly insulated in every part that this coat covered, and even had to take off my scarf because I got too warm.

Bought one of the longer ones for my daughter who runs hot, and I know she’ll appreciate not having to layer up to walk to school, and especially the ability to easily cram this coat into her backpack or the top shelf of a very small locker that traditional coats won’t fit into.

L. L. Bean’s Phone Order Customer Service was top notch. Over the past two years, under my physician’s care, I have lost 57 lbs. Now I needed to find a coat that would be warm, fit well, be long enough in the arms and length for a 5’10” woman.

After viewing L. L. Bean’s website for a coat, I called their Phone Order Customer Service Department. The woman who answered my call was lovely. She listened to my needs, what I found online, and we discussed coat.

When we got to this coat, she stated she has this same one. It keeps her warm when walking her dog in early mornings in northern Minnesota when the temperature often is below zero. Hearing this testimony from her, I gave her my measurements and she suggested a 1X.

The coat came in the mail within in a few days. It fits well, even when I wear a heavy sweater! The longer length is fantastic, well below my knees. I like the two-way zipper, giving the ability to un-zip the bottom of the coat when getting into the driver’s seat.

The hood is warm, the right size, not too deep. I like that the faux fur will zip off when the coat needs hand washed. The pockets have zippers. The arms of the coat are long enough with cuffs that keep out the wind.

The reason I give this coat a “4” out of “5” rating is, the coat was not made in the USA; although it appears to be made well for the amount of time, I have worn it. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a warm, long coat! L.

L. Bean, please consider having more of your stock made in the USA. Keep Americans working. This winter I will be cozy and warm in Southeast Pennsylvania. YEAH!.

The zipper on by my old reliable knee-length parka recently broke – which mandated finally getting something new. I couldn’t find anything that exactly matched the features of that cherished coat which had 6 external and 3 internal pockets and a length that provides more warmth and (for me) a more flattering look.

I have settled for the “Women’s Ultra Warm Three-Quarter Length” coat where the length is perfect and all the winter necessities seem in tact – warm, water repellent, etc. — though other coats seemed to be better made and with higher quality materials.

Features of this coat: the hood is adjustable though the flaps are unsightly if not closed; the ruff will zip off. The coat zipper seems not to be very sturdy (though time may disprove that) but compensates with a snapping storm flap.

I’m not used to the new light-weight downs, but the coat seems very warm. I would have preferred more and better pockets (particularly 2 waist-level external seam pockets for hands). (This is a case where length trumped other preferred features and what seemed to be better quality.

I liked the Baxter State Parka better except it was too short. ).

I love the color! It’s so nice to have something besides black or gray. And so far it’s stood up to Michigan temperatures. I’m 5’3 and 138 pounds and the small petite fit me perfectly, even the arms and overall length.

But it would definitely be tight in the chest and shoulders if I wore a heavy sweater underneath. My only complaint about the fit is the lack of shape. I thought the description said “modified fit” but there is absolutely no shape to it and that’s unfortunate.

Even an adjustable cinch at the waist would make a huge difference! I’d also appreciate the pockets being deeper. The hood wasn’t as big as other reviewers had stated but the faux fur trim is flat and lifeless even after fluffing so it’s not that becoming.

But it keeps your head and ears warm and that’s what counts, right?? Something else some reviewers had commented on was the zipper only reaching to just above the knee. I think that’s to make walking and stepping up into a vehicle easier, because I’ve had longer zippers come undone at the bottom in those scenarios.

It does make it a little breezy in the calf area but overall wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. Do I think this coat is worth the price? Honestly, without all the improvements so many buyers have suggested, no.

But for a warm coat in a fun color I’m glad I bought it. I know I’ll get a lot of wear out of it and I have no doubt it will live up to the LLBean name.

I tried on so many winter jackets at various stores before finding this one. It meets all of my needs! The sleeves have cuffs that keep the cold out but are not too tight. The hood can be cinched, so it says up and tight around the face when windy.

The waist can also be cinched to provide some shape. The jacket has many internal and external pockets that are all hidden and not bulky. It has the double zipper, so the bottom can be unzipped when sitting.

The collar has a soft, but not fuzzy, material around the neck that is really nice looking and warm. Lastly, the design is amazing! So stylish for a jacket. I received many compliments. As for color and size, I initially ordered the gray but then decided to trade it in for black.

The gray is very pretty but changes tones in different lighting. Just didn’t like how it looked some times and thought the black would be more versatile. I am usually in between a small and medium in most shirts.

I decided to size up, so layers would fit underneath. I am 5 foot 3 inches, and the length hits perfectly at an inch or two above the bend in my knee. If you read this far, just buy the jacket! You won’t regret it!.

I ordered the coat on a Monday and received on a Thursday, great customer service! The style of this coat is very, very nice. When I opened the package I wondered what these two tabs were on either side of the zipper.

I ordered the Medium and the fit is perfect, plenty of room for layers without being too big and sloppy looking. Then I felt for pockets, couldn’t find them. I wondered how they could make a winter coat with no pockets! I finally realized the two little tabs were the zipper pulls.

The pockets are so well hidden you can’t see them or the zippers at all. They look like a regular seam in the coat. Wore it this morning and while it was only 30 degrees I feel this will work well when it really gets cold.

One small negative, when I ordered only the Fossil Gray was available but now I see it is available in green and black. I would have ordered the green but the gray is a very nice color so all in all I am very happy with my purchase.

This coat is pretty perfect! It is high quality goose down (and plenty of it), so I know it will be warm. It is lightweight and SO comfortable. these underarm gussets are a game changer for me. It also has all the other things I require like an easy to work two way zipper and a well-fitting, insulated hood.

I would say that it runs on the bigger side, but is still true to size – I am normally an XS or small, and the XS worked for me with plenty of room to layer. Cinching the internal waist prior to putting on the coat was essential to creating a waistline, and thereby liking the way it looked on – for some reason cinching while I was wearing it just wasn’t cutting it.

Once “cinched”, it is a really beautiful and tailored looking fit! GREAT BUY!.

I purchased the Ariana parka in black. This is the best parka I’ve ever bought! Not only is it extremely warm, but it’s also gorgeous and so well-made. I purchased a size small (my usual size), but I could have sized-down to an extra small for a more fitted look.

The small does leave some extra room for thicker sweaters, though. The design of the hood makes this coat feel very cozy, as if you’re walking around in a sleeping bag. The shape is very flattering, particularly with the cute belt that cinches the waist.

The coat is great quality but really heavy and a little plastic feeling. It’s incredibly warm and I love the style and colour (cream). The thing that upsets me is that I used the measurements/size guide provided and the coat fits too big.

According to their size guide, I should have ordered a 3x but I’ve never been that size. I ordered the 2x thinking maybe the coat fits small (I’m usually a 1x). It’s too large around my belly and in my arms.

Even with a winter sweater on I still have room. I’d rather have a snug fit then wide fit because the coat itself is already so big. I hate that I can’t return or exchange the coat because it was on sale.

I won’t buy another coat from Noize for this reason. I’d rather choose a company that values customer satisfaction and will allow a return if the fit isn’t right. It’s too bad. I hope they reconsider this policy in the future.

I’m sure it deters customers.

I was surprised by the structure and the quality. Will be wearing this coat for years to come. One change for me though. Took off the fur hood attachment and made a fur head band by removing the zipper and hand sewing it to create a head band.

Love it. The fur attachment was too long for me and covered my eyes while on the hood. For me I love my new hat and for me very stylish. Thank you for this very well designed beautiful coat. Excellent quality and love the fact it is environmentally healthy for all nature and Mother Earth.

I love this coat. It kept me very warm on a -15 day walking outside in Toronto. My only downside is that the arm sleeves (I bought 1X) are a bit tight; if I got a larger size, it would’ve fit my arms but been huge on the rest of my body.

It still fits, I just can’t wear it with any thick sweaters underneath. But its warmth definitely eliminates the need for wearing thick sweaters lol.

If you’re looking for a retro-stylish, durable, every day jacket for mild winter conditions, this is a great option. I love this jacket’s combination of classic, rugged styling, durable construction and utility.

To start, it’s pretty heavy and not a very warm coat. Due to its weight and bulk I’d hesitate to travel with it and would never use it actively. It’s a strictly around town jacket, but it’s terrific for that.

Lacking traditional down or synthetic insulation (it uses a high pile fleece lining), it’s not super warm on its own so you need to layer for extra warmth. Imagine a lined softshell and a traditional winter coat had a baby.

The coldest I’d wear this is probably mid-20s (F) with a long sleeve base layer, and mid-weight fleece or wool sweater underneath. My sweet spot for this jacket is 30-40F. I would not recommend this for deep cold winter weather.

The jacket has good weather resistance. The G-1000 shell fabric blocks the wind nicely and has just enough breathability so you don’t overheat (standing or walking). It does a good job blocking the snow but I would not walk around in a rain storm.

Applying Fjallraven’s wax can supposedly add considerable weather resistance (I haven’t tried). It’s a great looking jacket that is versatile enough to wear to work, on a date, walking around town or doing yard work.

And – at least to my eye – it has a timeless style that will look good for decades. As for durability, I haven’t owned this jacket long but the materials are substantial and high quality. Everything from the shell fabric to the snaps are burly and should stand up to years of use.

It wouldn’t shock me if this jacket lasted for decades. The fit is what I would call regular: not trim nor baggy. Don’t be fooled by old reviews. Fjallraven redesigned this recently (2019?) and trimmed up the previously baggy fit to something more modern.

For reference I’m 6-1, 185lbs, 40″ chest, and a medium is perfect. It’s got a very utilitarian feature set. It’s got 2 (snap) chest pockets, 2 (snap) waist pockets with 2 side-oriented hand warmer pockets beneath.

On the inside left there’s a small zippered pocket for your phone and a small dump pocket on the right. The hood is functional and well sized, needing no adjustments. There are hem draw cords at the waist to tighten up the hem.

The front of the jacket has a sizable two-way main front zipper plus large snaps over top – minor issue: the zipper can be finicky. So long as you don’t expect something different out of this jacket than the above, I’d highly recommend it!.

This is a decent winter jacket, although I have only used it in mild cooler conditions (5 to -5 °C). It remains to be seen how effective it will be in much colder conditions. I have a fairly average build and I found it fit me well but snug.

I can layer a sweater or a light fleece underneath. As per usual, Fjallraven’s fabric is built really well, this thing feels tough and abrasion resistant. If the G-1000 fabric used here is anything like the Fjallraven bag I have it will hold up well.

Although I like the YKK double zip (e. g. you can zip in both directions for sitting) its a bit finicky and sometimes doesn’t catch as smoothly as I’d like. There are so many pockets on this jacket,its borderline unnecessary but it is meant to be field style jacket.

Overall, I bought this for something functional yet stylish enough to pass in the city. I wouldn’t expect to do anything incredibly active with this. But its great for lighter hikes, walking, city life, or more static activities.

I bought this jacket because I wanted to get away from the harmful chemicals used in most modern “waterproof/breathable/repellent” clothing. Upon unwrapping this beauty, I was transported back to yesteryear, when “60/40” jackets were state-of-the-art! This is a beautiful shell jacket, essentially a 60/40 or 65/35 as per the poly/cotton blend.

While I haven’t worn it much yet, I can tell you that you’ll need to wax it for waterproofness in heavy downpours. It will excel in cold, high output activity, where the material will repell snow, yet breathe very well.

Size wise I am normally a medium, but purchased a large to allow for layering – this will work very well in winter. It is too roomy without layers but still wearable. Beautiful quality. I’d recommend it whole heartedly.

5’10”, 185 lbs, 33″ waist and muscular build. I bought size M, which I was hesitant about because I returned a size M in the Arc’teryx Therme as there wasn’t enough room for layering. I went back and forth between getting a large Therme or Thorsen but this caught my eye last minute.

I’m the guy that researches items ad nauseam and I did plenty of homework while this sat in my cart. My initial concerns were with the outer material, because it wasn’t Gore-Tex (or similar), and with the sizing/fit.

All of those concerns disappeared when I wore this jacket for the first time. Let me just preface this by saying I am so glad that I bought this jacket over the Arc’teryx. I’m a snob when it comes to having nice, quality, and not-so-flashy clothing.

I’ve had a ton of compliments on it already. This jacket has subtle, traditional, and functional touches that I’ve noticed are absent on most other winter gear. I’m a transplant to Minnesota winters from desert dwelling, so naturally I was concerned about the temperature change.

Pros: From the top town, the hood is “deep” meaning that the faux fur lining sits at least two-three inches in front of your nose by default to keep snow and wind from being as big of a bother, but the hood also has plenty of adjustments to change that.

I don’t use this jacket for helmet-type activities, but I’m positive there’s enough space for one in this hood. A really nice touch that I’ve loved is a semi-rigid wire lining inside the faux fur is adjustable so you can shape the hood to your liking (i.

e. , circle vs. oval) and it stays put! The waxed G-1000 fabric is amazing. Perfectly wind resistant, durable, tight woven, and makes me think of an industrial, Carhartt-type fabric, except more refined and on steroids.

I love that you can apply more wax after multiple washings and for additional protection from moisture and wind, but I don’t foresee that being an issue for quite a long time. The Velcro on the wrists have plenty of real estate for adjustment, and have a nice little square to keep the strap from flapping around when you don and doff the jacket.

Nice little touch. The little leather around the drawstrings and look and feel really nice, function very well. I have the black jacket and the contrast really adds a sweet and subtle touch to the overall appearance.

There are drawstrings on the interior as well for adjustment of the waist, which are placed and anchored very nicely for easy adjustment. The jacket is a little bit of a longer fit, which is exactly what I wanted.

The fit is much more like a parka. There are large interior pockets on both sides of the zipper toward the bottom of the jacket which are plenty big enough to put bulky gloves, beanies, snacks. I love utilitarian features like those.

Speaking of fit, there is plenty of room for layering; I will usually wear a shirt with a sweater over the top (my go-to is a Lululemon Down For It All hoodie, or Patagonia half-zip), but there is still room for more or bulkier layers if you want.

Needs improvement (Fjallraven, I’m talking to you): I have no idea why the zipper is placed on the opposite side. That should be changed. Maybe it’s a European thing, not sure. but it’s taken time to adjust to it, which I feel is completely unnecessary.

I fumble with it while I’m not looking because I’m so used to blindly putting a coat on without looking down at the zipper. It’s not necessarily a deal breaker. Just switch it. Also, I fully understand logos and branding, but the Fjallraven logo on the side is a bit extra.

If it were about 30-50% of it’s current size it would look better and it would make people get up closer to see the finer details of the awesome jacket. The logo’s just a bit excessive. Another thought: As with almost any dark colored clothing, you’ll see lint and dust.

This jacket is slightly more lint-prone than others. so get a lint roller if you don’t already have one. If you’ve been looking at this jacket, just buy it!!.

Living in Canada my whole life has definitely made me appreciate a great winter coat. This is without a doubt that coat. Roomy enough to layer a cozy mid layer underneath (keep in mind this jacket does run large so I highly suggest sizing down a size from your regular if you have a more slim build) but even with the little bit of extra room this parka still looks phenomenal.

More importantly than it’s looks though, it’s performance on cold, snowy days. Let me tell you, having owned many jackets on heavily varying sides of the price spectrum this Fjällraven Singi jacket nailed everything I look for.

The quality on everything inch of this jacket is outstanding. It feels tough enough to stand up against anything you put it through and I look forward to many many years of use. I wore this with nothing but a base layer and a relatively thin fleece underneath it on a day where it was -25 with a windchill of -30 and not once did I feel cold on my upper half.

The size of the hood is great as well, not too big but not too small. Once you zip it all the way up and have the hood on it’s like being inside a bunker from the wind and snow. Needless to say, from the month and a half I have had the pleasure of testing and using this jacket I couldn’t be more pleased.

My one and only gripe is the hand pockets are cut horizontally when I feel like it would be slightly more comfortable to have them angled a bit. Aside from that small detail though, if you are looking for a truly amazing winter parka for some seriously cold weather.

This is it.

I am looking for a really warm winter jacket. I usually wear my son’s old Canadian Goose jacket during the cold winter months (he was my size a few years ago. ) but I figured it was about time I got my own jacket, and I like Fjallraven’s women’s jackets.

Their style and cut seem very current and the materials seem better quality than most. I ordered this Fjallraven jacket and another one to compare (the Fjallraven Expedition Down Lite women’s jacket).

Usually, I am an XS but can wear S as well and not look swallowed up. I am 5’2″ and 120lbs, slim. I can usually wear anything in XS or S and look good. I never wear M’s. Well, I ordered S for both jackets, thinking that would be a good size for me for an outer-coat.

However, the Fjallraven Women’s Singi Down Jacket size S had overly long sleeves and was tight around the shoulders. I mean, it fit but I could see that the jacket at the shoulders looked tight & too small for me.

I am not going to reorder this Singi jacket because even though I am sure it’s warm, the jacket is very stiff, the collar is not relaxed but stands straight up, and the proportions for this jacket are all wrong.

If I were to order a size M, which I am sure would fit me at the shoulders & not make me look like I’m wearing a hand-me-down that’s too small, the sleeves would however be too long plus the jacket would be too stiff & overall feel too uncomfortable as well as not fitting properly.

The Singi Down Jacket is very disproportionate in size. I am returning this jacket and not even going to bother to size up.

One of the warmest jackets I’ve ever purchased. I live where winters last about 7 months and this jacket definitely kept me warm. Unfortunately, within the first 2 weeks of owning the jacket, the snap buttons on the lower, outside of the jacket broke off.

This exposed some of the down. I rarely wore this jacket on the trails, so I was surprised with the light wear how easily the buttons broke. Also, I got the topsoil color and it shows all stains on the sleeves.

I recommend getting a darker color if purchasing this jacket. Overall, a great jacket, but do not recommend it if you plan on hiking or wearing it every day. I will be returning it and purchasing a jacket that will last me multiple seasons.

I have been “eyeing” this style of coat for a few years (maybe 10). As a hiker and skier, I have many different styles of down athletic coats to select from in my collection. The long parka has been on my “wish list”, but not a priority.

However, this past fall/winter found me walking the dogs early am in the chilly temps of the NW and I decided I’d check this off my list. Just returned from walking the dogs and wore it during a wind storm.

Very comfortable, warm and roomy. Flattering fit, for a down parka. The pockets are good size and the inside pocket is big enough for my phone and sunglasses. Hood is also a good size and stay in place with the wine.

Length is solid all around. I love my new coat and know that I will be enjoying many walks with this beauty.

I love this jacket. I bought the taupe and it’s a lovely, neutral colour. The jacket is very warm (perfect for Melbourne winter) and the extra length of sleeves and body are great as I am tall – 5’9” and weigh 150 pounds.

I have given this four rather than five stars only because the colour marks easily and the style is not a perfect fit for me; I have a narrow upper body with wider hips. I bought medium which fits well around my arms, shoulders and bust but is more fitted around the hips.

It’s definitely comfortable though. I tried the large and it was far too big; the difference between medium and large seems quite significant. I’ve had lots of compliments.

Last year I purchased the longer length and loved the warmth and look of it, but hated the length and the flared look on the bottom which formed a sort of rectangle shape. So when I saw it came back this year in the shorter length that I love, I just had to buy it immediately.

In fact, I purchased 3 (Leopard print, Black & Camo). I received 2 of the 3 and decided to keep the leopard print because I liked the color/design but returned the Camo immediately. USPS lost the Black and I didn’t want a replacement.

That being said though, the design/color of the Leopard Print is all I liked. I was expecting the same amount of warmth as last year’s, but this jacket (can’t call it coat) is much lighter then last year’s and weighs literally nothing.

Not only that, but I am a Medium in almost everything and last year’s coat in Medium had a perfect fit but this year’s it was very big on me. I needed to go down a size or two, but I decided to keep and wear a heavy sweater underneath because I am tired of exchanges & returns.

One other thing that I noticed though is that the Leopard Print, even though more boxy on me then the Camo, had the same Flared out/Triangle shape on the bottom (instead of a straight cut) like last year’s coat.

The Camo on the other hand had a straight cut that looked exactly like the way the models presented it, but I hated the darkness of the colors. (I would have kept and purchased another for my sister had it been the same Camo of last year’s which had nice colors).

All in all, it was not worth spending over $300+ for these Jackets/Coats. Perhaps next year they will improve as I love the length of this year’s, the warmth of last year’s and hope next year they make a straight cut instead of flared out on the bottom (does not look good on anyone IMO) and bring better colors.

It’s been about three or four years since I bought new Winter coats for myself. I like to have new styles every now and again. I live in MN and I’m sure everyone’s heard about how cold it gets here. I spend plenty on quality warm weather gear.

The skepticism was huge for me with this coat for a few reasons. Firstly, I don’t usually like puffer coats on me. I feel like the Michelin Man. This one, with the wide horizontal baffles, looks great! It’s also got princess seaming which (and I can’t believe I’m saying this about an outdoors Winter coat) is figure flattering.

OMG, it’s so cute on!! Just like in the presentation videos and pics. May I say, it is also very warm without being bulky. I bought three for me, thinking I’ll keep the camo for sure (because this camo print is awesome) but not sure which, if either of the black and red, I’ll keep.

Whelp, I can’t part with any of them! I’m keeping all three! I even picked up one for my mom in the mocha leopard, I do wish it had an inside chest pocket but everything about it is fantastic. If it didn’t have such a quality zipper and a removable hood like it does, I may not have kept any.

This is a well made coat!! I wore it to shovel 12″ of snow and wasn’t even sweaty but stayed warm the entire time. The red is happy surprise. I expected it to be an orange red (and possibly return it) but it turns out it’s closer to the Americana red that I LOVE! This coat does run a bit big.

I went down one size. I ordered my normal coat size of medium as well as the small just in case (and believe me, I have a whole lot of Winter coats so I know my size. ) I ended up staying with the small because the medium was way too big.

Oh, and the length is also perfect! No need for a double zipper because it sits just fine in the car without needing to release it from the bottom while still giving great bum coverage. While I’m not too excited about that glaring bicep patch, I’ll live with it.

It would be better if the patch was more toned down and/or had the background of the coat color while still displaying the brand. Get it if you can. The TSV price is what allowed me to buy more than I needed and still be extremely happy with my purchase.

The Artic Expedition coat that I purchased last year fits great–size Medium. I had to return last year’s coat, size large, for a medium because it was way too big. Because this year’s coat was a bit shorter than last year’s coat, I decided to purchase the medium.

When it arrived and I tried it on, I could barely move–the sizing was too fitted, despite the fact that last year’s coat still fits great. After visiting Woolrich’s factory store, their coats fit exactly like this year’s Artic Expedition coat.

After speaking with the Woolrich clerk, they said their coats are sized in European sizing. That explains the fit of the new Artic Expedition coat. I would ask the designers of Artic Expedition coats to use American sizing rather than European sizing.

As a result, I must return my beautiful Artic Expedition coat with the hope that their next year’s coat is sized better–American rather than European sizing.
