Gear Review
Very disappointed!

I just returned this coat with great regret. Thought it would be as warm as my worn out Chalet Coat that I lived in as a school bus driver and winter car-camper for the past 7 winters. What ever happened to loft??? You can talk about your 700 goose down but it means nothing without 'loft'. Loft means the amount of fill and I found this coat no where near as warm as the old coat. Loft is not there and I've tried several different manufacturers of down coats this winter and they've all gone back. I froze in everyone of them when it got down around zero except for the old war horse I will continue to wear until I can find something, probably very expenseve, to measure up to the coat I bought so long ago. Screw fashion... I'm looking for warmth. So disappointed.... loved the length, the great hood with its snaps, fur trip that pulls out in storms and the look of it. Darn it..... put more down in it and it would be my perfect coat.

I think this reviewer may have been reviewing a different coat. The hood has no fur trim.
