Great design, innovative

This is a great coat. They have pockets everywhere, cinches in the right places, "extras," like the sleeve works as a fingerless glove (if you want) - little things that make you wonder why no one else thought of it. There is a design flaw, however. The placket (or whatever you call it) that rests behind the zipper to keep the air out is too soft of a fabric, and often turns in (leaving the zipper exposed). My plan is to buy some adhesive velcro, and run a line up the placket and the opposite side of the coat underneath the zipper. Also, if you care, the zipper (for the man's coat) is on the "other" side - i.e. the woman's side, so it takes a little getting used to.
