Expedition Long Down Parka - Women's

Best parka ever for tall girlies!

For reference I am W; 5'11, 145lbs, and purchased in size Medium. I live in Ottawa, ON, Canada, and it gets down below -20C routinely. I have had this jacket for a year now and could not be happier. As someone tall and with long arms, this jacket is a dream! Every time I slip it on I feel like it was made for me, the fit is that perfect. The adjustable drawstring at the waist and knees ensures that no wind is going up your back, but i still have room to layer a sweater underneath. This parka is also super toasty and does a good job of being wind resistant. The hood is also one of the best I have ever had. It offers the same insulation as the rest of the jacket, and when you tighten the drawstring it's then shaped perfectly to your head. No matter how windy or stormy the hood stays in place. As someone who used to dread winter because I was always cold/uncomfortable, upgrading to a quality parka that actually reaches all the way to my knees has been such a game changer. I guess it's true what they say, there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad outfits. I would purchase this product again and again. Please never change the fit or the quality!

Very Nice ... Runs slightly large ...

Got this for my wife, who is now VERY HAPPY. While it's been very cold in the mid-Atlantic this winter, this coat is just what you need if you like that comfy feeling. Lots of pockets, really nice feel and not super heavy for a long length coat.

Awesome and lightweight

I bought this coat about two months ago. I absolutely love it! It’s like wearing a nice fluffy lightweight down sleeping bag. It is great for walking the dogs on cold windy days. The one thing it is missing is some fleece on the collar when you zip it up by your chin.

Polar warmth

I bought this coat when I moved to one of the coldest cities in the US (Duluth). To those who think this coat is not warm enough… that is utter nonsense. If it is above 20F (-5C) I literally sweat in this coat, even just wearing a t shirt underneath. I have worn it to walk my dogs for over an hour in -40F windchill and still felt warm. I would say if you don’t live somewhere very very cold, this coat may too warm for you. I would absolutely plan to rebuy if ever needed but so far it has held up great! 155lbs, 5’7 SIZE M fits perfect

Warm Enough to Withstand Chicago Winters

As a native Chicagoan, I’ve endured some frigid temperatures (as cold as -20F/-28C with the windchill) and this parka is my secret weapon. It’s roomy enough to fit multiple thick layers underneath and super comfortable. The hood helps shield your face from heavy winds and doesn’t easily collapse. It’s a little bulky, but that’s to be expected for the type of coat it is. It is legitimately the warmest coat I own. I’m obsessed. I highly recommend this parka to anyone who has to deal with routinely frigid winters. It’s worth the cost.

My favorite jacket.

I absolutely love this jacket—it's hands down the best one I own, and I have a lot. The red color is eye-catching, and it's incredibly comfortable and flexible, not stiff or heavy even in the coldest temperatures. Living in the Northeast, I'm often outside in freezing weather, and this jacket keeps me warm without feeling bulky. After a couple of years, it still looks great, and I get tons of compliments on it. It's easy to care for too: I wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air fluff it on low heat, and it comes out looking like new. Definitely a five-star product!

I love this coat!

I love this coat! I live in Alberta, Canada and I am always cold (I keep my house at 22 C and also sit under a blanket). I have only had this coat a few weeks, but I LOVE it. As other reviewers have mentioned, it’s a bit like wearing a sleeping bag, but in a good way. I bought the navy blue, which is true to the picture online. I’ve already gotten compliments on the colour. I was so warm and cozy today at -25 C with only a light layer underneath. It is soft, wind resistant and light weight. I know it to continue to keep me warm below -25 temperatures. I ordered XS as per the size chart (the fit finder recommended size small). The XS fits perfectly with room for layers. I am 5’10 with long arms and find the sleeve length to be great and the coat falls just below my knees. I love all of the pockets, drawstrings and snaps. What a great investment!

Warmest Coat EVER!!

I recently moved back to Michigan after living in South Florida for 17 years. I knew I would need a solid coat to be comfortable this winter. This coat is a dream, literally like wearing a warm cloud. I love it. I got a size Large, to give me extra room to add even more layers - I am happy I did. Medium would fit perfect but I like it being more roomy and comfortable.

I bought this, but I send it back. I have the jacket, and love it. I was longing for the long one. The feeling was not the same, not the very full of down, not the feeling that it should be warm enough like the jacket😩

Totally recommend it!

I bought this 3 weeks ago and it is amazing. If I could give 10 stars instead of 5 I would! I stay in a mountain area, and in this period the temperatures drop below -15 degrees Celsius! I walk the dog in the morning or evening sometimes only with a t-shirt under the jacket and I am perfectly warm. I totally recommend it!
