Not a real parka

I got one of these for Christmas and I have to say its a big pile of garbage.
The hood snorkel is to short. There is no support for the hood so you can't see out. There are gaps between the fake fur and the hood so wind can blow in. The velco is missing on the fake fur so why make it removable?
The cuffs are to short and don't bellow out of the sleeves. There is no inner draft flap.
Whoever designed this parka obviously has not spent any time in REAL cold. But if you live far enough south you may be ok.
I could go on but I won't. I took it back and bought a Canada Goose Resolute.
This coat may be ok if you want to wear it shopping or whatever. It should not be sold in Canada (Saskatchewan) where I live because it gets cold here. To cold for Chinese junk like this.
It does not belong outside in cold temps for extended periods. I work outside in -35-45 for extended periods and I would not wear this thing.
Save your money folks.
