First of all the color is perfect for a dark autumn like myself and the model. The beautiful sheen to the jacket and zippers really elevates any look. The zippers are easy to pull and high quality waterproof. The pockets are soft and deep and very well positioned (unlike the awkward position of Canada Goose). You can unzip the sides to use the bathroom without having to bunch up your coat. The hood is amply large and covered. Size up. I’m usually a 4 US and went with a 6 (36) because the 34 was small in chest and shoulders. When fully zipped you are going to have a nice cover of the mouth, ears and head to weather anything. While I wouldn’t ski in this jacket it will be my daily coat for years to come. Looking for a puffer look no more.
