This coat is stiff to start but should loosen up with wear and washing.

The good:
nice and warm
looks to be weather proof
the inside doesn't grab clothing ( like fleeces) so it is easy to layer
plenty of pockets, easy to get to

The bad:
heavy
the hood doesn't detach and is hard to get out of the way
size appears to run slightly small

The ugly:
needs a commercial size washer to wash or by hand
