When I ordered this coat, I already had a couple of wool,  full length coats for the chilly weathers.  But I was going to MN this time...and we're talking about single digit temperatures - high.  Coming from a much warmer climate, I really hoped this wouldn't disappoint me because I am a complete wimp when it comes to cold temperatures.

Well it passed with flying colors.

This is incredibly light and soft, making it very packable to a smaller space.  The material within is real down (they even have a little sample tag showing the down feathers inside.  The description says mostly duck down.) which I was glad about because it was hard to tell from the description.

Also nice that it's machine washable.  I haven't washed it yet, but it's good to not have yet another item to dry clean in the closet.

It's a stylish design.  It's simple, but also doesn't look baggy.  There are also two pockets that are pretty deep but also well hidden to keep the coat's overall structure.

Most importantly, it kept me warm when it was 10 degrees out.  The coat was tight, warm and light allowing you to move quickly through the cold.  I had to walk outside every morning and evening for about half mile in the freezing cold and I couldn't believe how warm this coat was.  It says the coat could withstand up to -2 degrees without moderate movement and I believe it.

The price is great and the sizing worked.  I'm 5'1" and ordered small because of my smaller frame and it worked well for me.  I wore 3 layers of clothing underneath and didn't feel like I was stuffed into a small coat. I was told that for coats you should buy one size up.  X-small definitely would have been too small.

A good investment for colder months ahead.
