The functionality of this coat is super. The quilted Primaloft inner lining looks great alone and for being so light, is amazingly warm. The liner adds a very warm layer when worn under/with the waterproof rain layer which blocks all the wind. The outer layer also looks great alone. Both the liner and outer portions are nicely fitted and feminine. The quality of the materials and workmanship are great. I only wish the pockets on the outside layer were not directly on the sides but a little more forward as they are on the liner. The zippers are solid. The liner pocket zippers could be a little firmer, but work well. I usually need two hands to close/open the liner zippers. The inside pocket in the liner portion has a solid zipper and the pocket is pretty deep and it's great to have the inside/security pocket. The hood is well-sized and covers well along with blocking the wind. I love this coat and wear it all the time since purchasing it in winter 2009/2010. The liner alone is good for 30-50 degree days. The outer portion alone, is good for 40-60 degree days. Both together, are good for below 30. The coat has kept me warm in single-digit windy New England weather. I have had no problems with the coat at all and it still doesn't show any wear. I've washed the liner in a front-load washer numerous times and it still looks new. I also love that the coat is made without any animal products and works just as well, if not better than any down or wool coat I've had in the past. The Primaloft liner is amazingly warm. I am very pleased with this coat.
