I can't quit you babe

So here's the skinny. I bought this coat the 18th of November (I reviewed it below), had it all set to RMA before the S&C 30 day return. It was sitting in the bag. I was on the fence. I even brought it to the FEDEX place to return it, but something wouldn't let me go. The 17th, the temps dropped down into the teens. My old coat just was not cutting it. So I ripped into that return bag, and have been happy ever since.

Seriously. All I have been wearing is a tee and this coat during the work week. Today was some sledding with the kids (wind chill puts us at 14 F, 87% humidity). I was wearing some thin thermal underwear, jeans, boots, gloves and the Welder. I originally had my hat on but then just went to the Welder hood. I was toasty. My rear was cold but the torso was great. It breathes really well.

The key thing about this coat is it has excellent wind protection. Again, this is an athletic fit. Size up if you think you'll be in the sub-zero's most of the time so you can add a layer. But honestly if you are at all active outside I am beginning to think this coat can handle it.

5 stars (up from 4) because this coat seriously rocks. I am still concerned about abrasion resistance but time will tell on that issue. For the money (especially if you nab it off of S&C) this coat performs really well.
