I took this coat on a camping trip.  Didn't need it until the last day when I had a problem with my trailer that required me to sit out in the windy, snowy 36 degree weather for 2 hours fixing it.  I was freezing with my old reliable champion jacket.. My wife brought this to me, I put it on and within 10 minutes I was TOASTY Warm!!!  Wow.  This thing is very warm, very comfortable and looks terrific.  I love it.
