If anything, city girls need more protection from wintery weather than their country cousins, since they're so often expected to be running around in fashionable skirts and flimsy fabrics. The Marmot Women’s Chelea Coat gives them an unbeatable combination of high-loft warmth, extra coverage, and a waterproof breathable shell, along with city-smart sleek lines and fashion details like a removable faux fur ruff on the hood and attached half-belt.

  • MemBrain two-layer fabric and fully taped seams block moisture
  • 650-fill goose down offers supreme coziness
  • Hood with removable fur ruff zips off on sunny days
  • Zip handwarmer pockets lined with soft fabric

Bottom Line: Serious warmth for city denizens.

Cute, but not warm

By:
December 30, 2011

I bought this coat after searching long and hard for a fashionable, yet functional winter coat. I wanted something that would be extremely warm, but also be dressy enough to wear out at night. I think this coat is cute, but it was not as warm as it should be for the down fill and the price.

Just got mine! I love it

By:
November 28, 2011

First let me say I went through a nightmare trying to find a coat that fit me! I tried on all the similar North Face and Columbia jackets and finally decided on this one. I live in Chicago and Toronto so having something warm, water proof and long is really important.

The reason I love this jacket is because it is so much lighter then the other but without compromising the warmth. I just wore it to walk to the pharmacy and it was perfect.

I did order a small though, I'm 5'2" and 113 ibs I carry my weight in my rear and thighs but this coat with a little roomier then I wanted, I think I may exchange it for the xs but first I'll try layering it! If you wear a lot of thick clothes stick with a small. For reference I know how hard this can be my measurements are 33,24,36 hope that can help!

Warm and stylish

By:
December 24, 2011

Kudos to marmot for designing this warm and functional but also stylish coat. I love the zippered cozy pockets, the beautiful navy color and texture of the "black" material, the way the collar looks good either zipped down or up, and the removable faux fir trim on the hood. This coat is of much higher quality than the mountain hardware coat which I had ordered previously and returned. And kudos to backcountry for their friendly and accommodating customer service

Perfect.

By:
December 15, 2011

I had tried on other mid length coats to find that they all fit me quite wrong so I was a bit leery about this one. However, when I got it I was thrilled. The somewhat fitted waist is actually at my waist and not half way up my rib cage. The length is good on me at 5'3" being long enough to keep me warm but not so long as to end up with snow ans slush splatter all over the bottom of it. Unbelievably it has been too warm in upstate NY to wear the coat so I can't speak to its actual use out of doors. As to fit it is just slightly smaller than my Marmot Whitestone jacket but I think that makes for a better fit to keep me warmer in the Chelsea. I am a bigger extra small and smaller small with wide shoulders and no chest. If I went by the measurements I should be a medium-but that would have been too big. I got the Moonstruck and to my eye it is a nice shade of deep off white or perhaps a very, very pale taupe, but not white.

Finally had a chance to wear the coat in the cold. It was wonderful. Kept me warm with only a summer weight sweater underneath. The length of the coat and the fact that the zipper stops before my knees is perfect for walking in town as it keeps my legs warm warm but doesn't trip me up.

Stylish warmth

By:
December 16, 2011

I only gave 4 stars because we've not gotten our minus degree temps yet, warm enough when hovering at the zero temp. I really like the style, doesn't feel like I'm wearing a sack, I did get one size up to allow for my work blazers and bulky sweaters...just right for comfort! The collar is very stiff (where the hood attaches) and rubs on my chin but I'm short so this may not affect most. On the whole I am extremely please I purchased this coat, just waiting to see if I made the right choice when it gets -22 up here in north central WI.

I have heard that this coat runs a little small. I'm trying to figure out what size to buy,.. I am 5'5 and 150 lbs. Not sure to go Medium or Lrge? I don't want it to be too baggy but would like to be able to wear a single sweater underneath. Meaurements are 37-33-41

I am the same nearly the same height and weight.
In everything I buy at this weight I am a medium. Even when Im thinner I often wear a medium bc of the arm length or fit across the back/chest.

I drove to two REIs to only find the coat in the wrong color but was able to try a medium and a large. Medium fit snugly in the body (which would be okay if I was wearing a long sleeve knit shirt but not a single thickness typical midweight winter sweater).Certainly couldnt wear layers. Shoulders fit fine.

The big problem was that the arms were too short by about an inch. The fit was what I would consider a classic "small" type fit in anything else.

The large was not baggy. It was appropriate fit for what I would typically call a medium. Don't get hung up on the tag "L."

LOVE IT!

By:

The weather in NYC has been pretty mild but I've been wearing it for a couple of weeks now and it's kept me warm so far. It looks like it is very well made and I love the fleece at the wrists. The only qualm I had is with the color of the coat. I got the coat in black but it's navy blue, not black. Lucky for me I like navy blue so I kept it. I went to a retailer than sells the Marmot and all the "black" coats were navy blue.

This Jacket Runs True to Size

By:
December 6, 2011

Based on numerous reviews of the coat running small I ordered a size up only to find the coat too large when i finally received it. I'm 5'5", 118lbs...measurements are 33/25/35. I usually wear a size 2 or Small. I have broad shoulders and long arms so I opted for a M to accommodate for this and winter layering. The M was huge even with my thickest hooded sweatshirt on underneath. I've returned the M and am waiting for the S to arrive. I think this coat runs fairly true to size...at least for me it did.

I can't comment on the warmth of the coat as I didn't wear the coat outdoors but I will say the coat is very lightweight and thin. So if this coat delivers and keeps you warm and looking sleek then thumbs up.

Not a good fit.

By:
December 1, 2011

I got this coat and it's just a tad too small. It actually fits perfect if I have just a t-shirt on. Anything thicker than that, it gets snug. I ordered a Medium. I'm 5'3" 130 lbs. If I order a large then the arms are going to be too long. Bummer. I think it's a well made coat, but I had to return it.

Guaranteed for Life! And better than my NorthFace!

By:
November 30, 2011

This coat is cheaper than a Snow Goose, yet it is designed much better in my opinion and has been manufactured just as proficiently. Plus it is guaranteed for life and uses 650 fill goose down.

I received it today, 2 days after ordering it.

This is an even better coat than my calf-length down NorthFace coat - a coat I really love. The marmot coat has a classy yet more rugged shell that won't let down escape. And it won't catch and rip on the least little thing. I'm overjoyed.

I just tried the coat on, checked the great fit, the seams, the clever hood adjustments, the pockets, the zipper quality. They are all excellent. I can't the coat off, I'm so happy with it
