It's hard to believe the price on this parka is in the $50 range. First, it is very warm/insulated. The material quality of the shell is excellent, as is the inside of the coat.  Pockets are large, zippers/buttons top quality.  The hood is nice and heavy/insulated so it stays up when it is 0 degrees in ohio. Will also be perfect for wearing to Heinz Field for a January 2012 playoff game.  Minus 10 is no problem for it. The design and cut of the parka make it good for wearing to the office or taking the kids sledriding.  I got mine in black and it's very sharp.  I also like that to get to one of the zippered pockets you need not unzip the coat, the inside pocket is accessed inside the zipper flap. perfect for storing the blackberry.  If I had seen this coat in Macy's and was in need, I'd happy pay $100+ for it.  another great buy from amazon!
