Chicago winters are cold, but not always snowy. In order to deal with frigid reality, you have the Carhartt Men's Duck Traditional Coat. Insulated with a thick polar-grade polyester lining and nylon, this waterproof, windproof coat will keep you warm from the inside out when your friends decide that ice skating downtown is a good idea that evening and then follow it up with a walk in the frozen zoo. The Traditional has two interior pockets for storing you keys, wallet, and phone so no need to worry about flopping on the ice, you won't lose your valuables, aside from dignity, maybe.
