ROCKIN' PARKA

By SnowboardLaover Ranked #1488 - Women's Down Jackets January 16, 2008

This jacket just survived it's first bout of cold weather in December during a trip to NYC. Not only did I NOT have to bring a purse while trekking around Manhattan (thanks to the coat's many, many pockets!), BUT I was comfortably warm all day. I am a gal who is highly sensitive to extreme temperatures, so believe me when I say that this jacket is highly recommended for wintry conditions! You won't have to wear much underneath to keep warm (but please wear underwear!) For those who are concerned about fit, I am a size 2/4 with a medium bust, so if you like your coats to fit a little snug against your body, then get your true size.
Also, I had concerns with hand-carrying the coat on my flight to and from NYC, but it 'smushes' nicely into the airplane's overhead compartment without any trouble. I have received many compliments on the coat and have spotted several women wearing various colors/versions of the Arctic Parka. In short, people will say you look like a fancy Eskimo, but you know they're just jealous that they don't own the best winter coat ever made.
