I have bought and returned 4 winter coats this year trying to find a warm, windproof, waterproof long coat. This coat met or exceeded all of my criteria AND it's good looking! The big BUT is that the velcro pulled fuzz on the coat's fabric when left open. I tried keeping it zipped up when walking through stores but almost passed out--removing it and carrying it around was cumbersome--then I thought "What am I doing?!" Marmot, did you field test this coat? Change the fabric or lose the velcro and you have a customer! Returning this coat almost brought tears to my eyes because I have been so cold! I usually wear a Medium and had to order a Large--5'7", 125 lbs--athletic shoulders.
