This is a very nice winter coat. I actually purchased it for myself, as most ladies jackets are too snug across the chest for me. It is very warm, and water resistant. I purchased it larger than normal, because I also like to be able to wear sweaters or hoodies under my coat when I am going to be outside for long periods of time, and this coat goes over them nicely. Packs well for travel as well.  I would recommend it!
