I was waiting to see if this coat would make it through the entire winter.  It passed with flying colors!  I've worn this coat in the rain and snow,  had dogs jumping on me, caught it on branches and briers and it still looks brand new.  Easy to wash and very durable.  Also very warm.  This is the best coat I've ever bought.  I'm excited to be able to use it again next winter.  The only tiny complaint I have is that the metal zipper is very cold on your neck if you don't have a high collared shirt on.
