I purchased this coat to replace my original Carhart coat because the zipper on my original coat had broken (zipper teeth came off and the coat wouldn't zip closed any longer). I went with this choice because I'm cold natured and wanted something WARM. I spend HOURS outside every day, so I needed something that would break wind and help insulate the body heat. The hood on the coat blocks wind well. Keeps my neck and face warmer. I also love the fact that the pockets on the outside of the coat are place BEHIND the insulation of the coat itself instead of just plain fabric pockets stitched onto the outside of the coat insulation. I love how deep the pockets are, as well. The zipper being made of plastic makes me wonder how long it will last, but so far, it hasn't snagged or anything, and Ive had this coat for about a month now. I appreciate the draw string for the bottom of the coat to help keep wind from sweeping up under your coat as you move. My only issues with this coat thus far are: I think the sleeves need cuffs or draw strings to tighten them up around your wrists to block wind and cold from going up the sleeves, and the coat would be much better if it were much more water resistant. This one is for misting rain and snow. Full waterproofing would be amazing for torrential downpours.

I love the comfort the way it looks and the texture of the coat I use mine for style not for work

Warm coat. Like the way it handles the wind. I was wanting to by a coat like Carhart used to make, cotton outer shell, but I guess that is not available anymore.

Unlined pockets....and no vest pocket inside along with no snap or button below the zipper make this coat an overpriced disappointment...I was refused a return because I opened the package....Worst of the 10 jackets I've owned...Very poorly designed garment.
