I have been looking for a long time for a jacket as warm as this

My mission this winter was to purchase a new winter coat that one would not be bulky, and two would be warm. I finally found the right jacket in the Kappa SV. I literally tried 3 different jackets this winter and returned them all until I finally settled on the Kappa SV. This jacket keeps every ounce of wind out and keeps the heat in. The lining is thin but ample. The exterior is sturdy. I was just outside the other day and the temperature was 8 degrees, and with the windchill was well under zero. The jacket may not have some of the bells and whistles of other jackets (ie. pit zips, powder skirt), but the key for me was warmth...and I was not disappointed.
This jacket was a replacement for a North Face tri-climate coat, but I was tired of pulling and adjusting my sleeves every time I put my coat on...not a problem with this coat.
Great coat, good luck.
