Size runs small
Runs a bit small, but a good quality jacket. Should keep me warm during the winter.

Great mid level jacket!
Perfect for our trip to Iceland for the combo of wet and cold weather, but not too heavy for slightly warmer temps:

Decent for the price
It's very thick but looks like it's decent quality plus it's cheap so it's not that bad

Perfect fit
True to size, light weight!

Would you believe I'm complaining that it's TOO WARM! *updated mid-Feb 2021*
*I've rescinded my original review (which was a very positive review!) after a month of wearing this coat, because I now have a better appreciation for this coat, and what I can and can not do while wearing it.After having worn this coat on a wide variety of outings & activities, I feel I have a better appreciation for this coat. I had originally purchased this coat primarily to wear while riding my fat bike in the winter/snow. After several rides resulting in my peeling off layers from getting too warm, I ultimately tried wearing just a simple short sleeve t-shirt under this coat, while riding ~5-10mph in 12°F temperatures, and STILL had to take it off and put something lighter on! It was THAT WARM! So maybe that's too vigorous of an activity to wear such a coat....Then I started wearing it the few times I've had to shovel snow and use my snow blower. Shoveling snow is obviously a physical activity, and I once again overheated with just a short sleeve polyester t-shirt on underneath the coat. But when I found myself getting too warm while merely comfortably strolling behind my self-propelled snow blower? Seriously?I never once thought I'd be complaining about a coat being "too warm"! See, I live in a state where the temps have easily been in the single digits this winter, and a handful or -0°F nights, and I've been in need of a warmer coat for longer outings in the winter. But as much as I truly like this coat, the only time I feel that "I" can feasibly wear it is when I go outside first thing in the morning to warm up my car or other very casual/lazy activities where I'm not really doing anything physical, at all! I'm thinking this coat would be excellent on snowmobiles/quads in the winter, as you'd have that airflow from moving quickly, perhaps even downhill skiing, ice fishing, ice skating, hunting (under your orange vest or whatnot)... but fat biking through the trails, shoveling snow in the driveway, walking behind a snow blower... those things, "for me", this coat was simply too warm!Don't get me wrong though, I absolutely LOVE this coat! I think it's outright insane how warm I've been in this thing, and will do my best to keep it in tact for as long as humanly possible! But I'm also going to look for a milder coat to wear for my more vigorous activities... something with ventilation under the armpits and across the mid-upper back... like the old Gore-Tex jacket I had ~20 years ago in the Marines. (Extremely wind & water resistant, had zippers under each armpit to let those breath, and I think that one also had a small flap across the back with another zipper or velcro there).If Wantdo did that to a jacket like this... added zippers to the underarms at least, they'd have a phenomenal cold-weather active wear coat!(Oh, yes, I even let my S.O. wear my coat just to make sure I wasn't crazy... after all, she's always complaining that she's too cold, no matter what she's wearing.... Well, it should go without saying that I had to "make a deal" with her before she'd give it back to me!)I don't remember if I looked up to see what this coat was rated at, as in, what temperatures it's said to be good for, and there's a chance "I" may be biologically out of whack... but I did wear this on several sub-zero mornings without getting so much as a chill.

Its cons outweighed its pros
As stated above, I purchased this jacket off of Amazon. I read a lot of reviews before deciding to take a chance with this jacket. In the end, I was reminded (yet again) of the old saying, 'you get what they pay for'.I am 6'3" and about 225lbs. After looking at the sizing charts and the reviews I purchased a large. It arrived quickly, I unpacked it, and tried it on. It fit in the arms and the length came down to just below my waist. I was a little surprised to discover the inner cuff, thumb cutout. After I zipped it up, I would say the chest was 'snug'. I was worried about how it would hold up over time putting on a backpack after the jacket was zipped or any other body movements that would require aggressive arm/chest movements. If I were to do it over, I would probably try an X-Large next time to see if the chest were not so snug.I live in an area that gets a lot of rain/wind during the Winter months (I jokenly call it the monsoon season but it is not that bad even if, at times, it can feel like it.) I put up the hood on one of these windy/rainy days and found out just how the hood was designed. It does not have any adjustment on the back of it like several other coats may. When the hood was over my head and not fastened together under my chin, I could only look down at my feet for if I looked forward I got a wonderful view of the inside of the hood. The top of the hood came over my head and covered my face to approx the middle of my nose. However, when it was velcroed together under my chin then it fit like it should and I could see and thought the hood fit wonderfully. There are many reasons to put a hood up and not want/need to velcro it together, such as using it to block a wind guest or five and try as I may I could not find a way to get the hood to sit right without the under chin Velcro strips being put together. Thankfully, both my old jacket and this jacket had hoods that unzipped and the zipper size matches so I was able to take my old jacket's hood off and attach it to this jacket. Then I had what I would suggest was a usable hood.I mentioned earlier that I was a little surprised by the 'inner cuffs'/thumb holder. I tried these out for their designed purpose and have mixed feelings on them. On the really cold, windy, rain going sideways days I would put my thumb through the hole to pull the inner cuff down and then put on my gloves. They felt really strange but that may have been from my lack of being used to them. They did block the wind and rain from hitting my skin, going up the arms, and gave an appearance of keeping my arm/wrist warmer. They also made taking off the jacket, especially while wearing a watch, a whole new exercise. No need to go to a gym for an upper body workout; just try to take the jacket off while it is wet, without it pulling your watch up your arm so far it rips skin off, and/or pulling your long sleeves up so far it feels like you are taking your shirt off. One should not attempt to take this jacket off in a hurry!There are three outside pockets, all with zippers on them. I had the jacket almost a month when I noticed the seam over the left hand pocket was already starting to come apart. By the time I noticed it the seam opening was almost a thumb width in size. It wasn't apparent very easily due to the designers of the jacket putting a rain 'overhang' over this seam. I did like that part. After using the two hand pockets for things like carrying my keys, gloves, change, hands, etc I found a couple things that I was not the most fond of. One of them being is the zippers went down so far to the bottom of the pocket I was worried I was going to lose something just by keeping the pocket unzipped.Then there is the zippers themselves. I have had, on several occasions, the zippers of all three outside pockets get stuck in the closed position when fully zipped up. They took some surgical skills to convince the zippers that they should go back to working and open again. I tried to modify my behavior to not zip them up all the way knowing this would mean that it would be much easier for the rain to enter those pockets. The stuck zippers made it difficult for me to get my wallet out of the upper left chest pocket to pay for a meal with having to take the jacket off first (did I mention one should not try to take this jacket off in a hurry? I got reminded of that by my watch.) The stuck zipper made it interesting to get my gloves out so I could put them on and keep my hands dry/warm. The final downfall was when the left hand pocket's zipper got stuck with my house keys inside while I was trying to leave to catch a bus. I missed my bus trying to get the zipper to open and in getting the zipper to open this time I managed to rip the entire pocket open and away from the jacket. The zipper is still fully zipped but I was able to retrieve my keys and everything else in that pocket. (Edit: after logging in to post this review I discovered the keys' incident happened the day after my return window closed.)Due to this last zipper incident I have gone back to my old jacket. This jacket will probably be thrown out as its flaws have annoyed me way to much and outweighed its pluses. There are some pluses to this jacket. When it was on and working, it felt pretty warm. It did a good job of blocking the ice wind and rain. While I like my jackets to be a bit longer on me than this one was, I will say this jacket had a good length on it and not dig in for that. Amazon did a good job of getting it to me quickly and it was the jacket that I ordered.It is outside my Amazon return window (closed on Mar 10, 2018) and would probably cost me more to return it to the manufacture than the jacket is worth I will not be replacing/exchanging this jacket. In the end, the design of the jacket's hood and the fatal zippers sticking issues have doomed this jacket for me and the reason for my personal reason for this mostly unsatisfactory review of it. Others may have a better experience with this jacket, what I described was just my experiences.

A decent Autumn and light winter jacket for Canada
I'm prefacing the review with a statement that i'm a DUAL winter coat user. I have one ultra warm special duty coat that i wear on the occasional -25to-35C nasty days. Living in OTTAWA we definitely have those freeze overs. But for the most part of the winter, i find it too thick and hot. For that reason i normally wear a light duty coat that isnt meant for those nasty winter days. My previous coat had to be replaced so I bought this one because it was fairly similar to the one i am replacing.A few things i like:1. This isnt a heavy coat. It's light duty --- so naturally It gives me some range of arm / body movement and flexibility. I dont feel pudgy or puffy with it. At the same time, it is fairly warm for its lightness. I was hanging out outside -15C weather. I did not feel cold. my head was warm too (With the nice fuzzy inside of the hood.). I will say, i was also wearing a long sleeve shirt inside my coat.2. water resistance is fairly good. Felt no leakages after playing in the snow and then entering the house. so it indeed is fairly water resistant as claimed.3. I love that it has a ZIPPERED inside pocket. many coats offer inside pockets without a zipper.4. Sizing is fairly OK compared to my previous coat made in Canada. This one is made in China so i was worried about the typical "smaller" sizing that China brand clothing products I've previously purchased but I knew that already before buying. My height is 5.8 and weight is 179lbs. I bought a large. fits perfect minus a few awkward areas i mention below. ( this is even after i washed and dried)5. the label says handwash. No thanks. i dont like hand wash clothing. I washed it anyway in c old and then i dried it in my machine. For whatever reason, this coat takes a LONG LONG time to dry. took me 2 hours in the drier! initially i tried air tumble dry but that failed to do anything so I just made it hot air dry and it finally dried up good. So yes, it does machine wash and machine dry fine ---- your milage may vary according to your washing habits/machine.6. on the inside, i love the waist band snap button belt to keep snow out. I use it often. fitment is spot on for my 32 waist. i like fastening the inner belt and keeping my zipper down for when i transition to indoor mall walking. having said that, i do like that this coat breathes ok. I can wear this inside and not sweat.So here are things i really thought shouldve been better made for even a $100 coat:1. hood has a somewhat stiff flap. This is a velcro flap that is supposed to cover the mouth. for me , this flap is too short so it just BARELY reaches the other end to velcro together. at the end, i'll never use it. that brings me to the next point which is , it looks really silly. with the hood on, there are two flaps that stick out like "doggy" ears. i wish the flap were less stiff .2. the pockets are NOT WARM AT ALL. if you forgot your gloves, and you try to find warmth in your pocket, then youre out of luck. so many coats fail in this area... this is no exception. my previous coat also failed. but this one is worse i would argue.3. zippers are cheap. all of them. i hope they last a season. For this pricepoint i really wished they spent more attention to the most important part of the coat that gets the most duty cycle, wear and tear.4. this coat offers a wrist spandex collar that is extended to provide a thumb anchor. The coat fits me fine. except this wrist collar does not. It's simply sized too short compared to the rest of the coat. when i slot my thumb in, i feel very uncomfortable because of the excessive stretch. Thereby making this feature useless. My previous coat has this feature and it fits perfect --- the sizing of the overall coats are identical too. So i just think the proportions are just wrong (similar to the hood flap length issue).So all things said, for $100 price point, it simply isnt the perfect autumn-mildwinter coat for me. I will obviously wear it til the end but i just wished i got more out of this coat for my money . There is a lot to like about this coat but then at the same time, some of the annoyances are just too hard to ignore.Update:After a year ... All of the zippers fell apart. Coat is unusable. Don't buy this coat. Unless you're into buying winter coats every season.

Me gusto mucho es exactamente como esperaba, muy buenos acabados y super abrigadora, el único detalle es que si esta un poco pesada pero se tolera muy bien después de un rato se olvida el peso.

Winter coat
Good quality. order up by 2 sizes as Asian sizes are small. An okay coat for the price, I'd recommend the coat if you are on a budget with respect. Thank you.
