So, the jacket itself is great. I love the design and style of it. The hardware, the color, the pockets, the faux fur on the hood. The jacket feels great...very cozy and the hood is nice a deep, offering great coverage. The ISSUE is the SIZE. I ordered a SMALL and it is HUGE. I know it is supposed to be a somewhat roomy/ oversize coat to fit over bulky winter sweaters etc....but WHOA! I read two reviews from women that are about my weight and height. I am 130lbs and 5'8" and I am SWIMMING in the size SMALL. I am reluctant to exchange for the X-SMALL, because I think that will be too big, aswell.

It is a nice parka but up here in minnesota with a second fleece under it I could still feel the cold on my back it was only 5 degrees but we have a lot of those days. Well built not super warm. If you are planing on working outside and moving around you should be fine.

Every thing is good with this jacket expect knowing the right size. Usually I wear xl but with this jacket I need medium.

It is a warm coat, but it is not a snorkel hood. The hood is removable, so it precludes it from being a snorkel hood. I live in Minnesota, so a warm jacket is a necessity. It is warm, but is not waterproof or windproof. 30 minutes running the snow blower and I was soaked. It is okay for moderate climates, but would not recommend for very cold areas. Would not recommend and will not purchase again.
