I was sent this product in exchange for my honest review. I really wanted to love this coat, and while it does have some really great features, it ultimately falls a bit short for me.
Here's the good:
This coat is very warm and overall is a comfortable weight. It has a synthetic fill, and it keeps you warm, but not hot. The coat has both a zipper and snaps down the front for extra wind resistant warmth.
I really like that it has a hidden hood for wet weather as well. The hood is thin, but it is enough to keep your head dry for a brief period of time. The hood also has a "bill" on it to keep rain out of your eyes. The hood easily rolls up and is tucked under the back of the coat collar and is completely hidden. The pockets have zipper which is a big plus for keeping your phone and other small item secure.
There are other smaller features that are always good to have in a coat like elastic wrists and an elastic pull for cinching in the bottom of the coat. Additionally, the material has a slight pattern that is stylish and looks good.
Here's where it falls short:
The overall fit of the coat is a huge disappointment. While it is intended to be a loose fit, the result on me is boxy and unflattering. The fill of the coat makes it very puffy, but again, in quite an unflattering way. Unfortunately, it has quite the marshmallow look on me. I am typically a size XS and that is the size I got, but I feel like I need to go down a size for the body of the coat to fit properly. The arms of the coat are quite long as well and probably need to be a good inch or so shorter to be comfortable. Oddly enough, it feels too short - it at my hips but feels cropped. Lastly, the material is loud. It rustles noticeably with every single movement.
In the end, I like the IDEA of this coat as well as many of the features, but the fit is poor.
