This jacket is very warm and is true to size.  Unlike some down coats I've owned, there are no leaks or drafts at the stitching.  It's a big, puffy parka and not something you'd wear over a nice dress or your work clothes (unless you work in Minnesota, which I have, and I definitely could have used something like this), but it will keep you nice and toasty.  The down and feathers leak out a bit, so watch out for that.
