This is actually a very good value for the price if you buy it 3-4 sizes too large for you. Amazon reviews are so helpful. I have always worn longer coats to stay warmer in our northern winters but I the bulk of the longer wool coats gets uncomfortable and annoying while driving. These long hoodies are a great compromise if you wear layers on milder days. It's also comfortable enough to sub as a robe for a morning chill. I will get a lot of use out of this. It's not going to replace a parka or a heavy wool coat for severe winter storms or sub freezing temps but I'm very happy with it.
