Finally, a Perfect Coat

I love this coat, and I can say this after having bought and returned multiple other down coats/parkas in the past year in my search for the perfect comfortable warm down coat.

What I finally decided I needed was coat with a snap storm flap(after trying them, magnets and velcro do not function as easily), a two-way front zipper, and a hood. How hard is that to find? Pretty hard, actually.

This coat has all of these things plus a sleek design and a great warm city walking length.

I purchased the Ink Blue, and as has been mentioned in other reviews, it's a great color and nice change from the usual black or brown.

I thought I would miss the knit cuffs that other parkas sometimes have in the sleeve, but the tapered and lined cuffs on this one are comfortable and less bulky than knit cuffs.

I hate the big logo on the front and back shoulder, but after resisting trying this North Face coat just for this reason, I'll put up with it because it's so perfect in every other way. I'm very pleased with this coat.
