Great jacket

By Warren Chykowski Ranked #57 - Men's Down Jackets December 14, 2007

I have never bought a coat online before.I am very impressed with this jacket.I was looking for a down fill that would withstand really cold temps.Some friends at work told me of this site and this is where I found this coat.First of all,I ordered the stellar/tempest colour.I was not too sure about this colour.However,it is darker than the picture suggests.It is closer to a royal blue and the patches are very dark.I am 5'11" and it comes down far enough to cover my butt.This is what I was hoping for as I wanted to get something that would be more like a parka than a bomber style.I live in the Canadian prairies and it gets bitter cold here in the winter.I wanted a jacket that would do me in temps of -20C to -30C.It figures that when I received the coat,it was rather mild here.However,I did use it on a couple of nights when it was
-18C with a windchill of -25C.It worked great!!!! I was very warm and the hood kept me very warm as well.Also the hood comes forward a fair bit so that the wind was kept at bay!
I am so looking forward to a -25C day so I can really test it out.I also like the snap skirt on the inside.While it might have been nicer to have a couple of more pockets,it still has 4 which is more than adequate.I highly recommend this coat to anyone looking for a lightweight that really keeps the cold temps out!
