Best down coat!

This is the warmest down coat I've ever owned, and I've owned a few. I used to have the NF Metropolis Parka and it was warm but wouldn't stand up to wind and rain. I wanted to get a really warm coat that would and this one fits the bill perfectly. I looked at every other down coat (NF, Patagonia & others) and none had all the great options of this coat along with being waterproof & windproof. The other coat I was looking at was the Arctic Parka from NF. Also a very nice coat, but felt heavy and as reported by others, I had trouble with the zipper. Also, the hood isn't removable which I didn't like.
The Marmot Chelsea performing even better than I expected! It is sooo warm! It got tested out today in -20F windchill and I wasn't even a bit cold! The hood is awesome and kept my head toasty. I love that it's removable. This coat is the perfect length as well falling just above my knees and it isn't too heavy either.
Overall, this is a fabulous coat. After MUCH research, I couldn't be happier with my choice. I definitely recommend this coat to anyone.
