So warm!
I live in Vermont, where winter is cold, snowy and stormy. I went from my 7 year old, packable, down jacket to this, in part because I run colder as I age. This coat is exactly what I was looking for! Its tall neck keeps the wind from blowing down my neck. It’s got so much ease that it will easily take a thick sweater under it, but it’s so warm that I don’t really need one. It’s so heavy (6 or 8 pounds - I haven’t weighed it!) that it’s almost too heavy. It cuts the wind, so you literally can’t really feel it if you have your back to it. Once the heat comes up in the car, I’m sweating until I get it off. But I love it! i love being warm! It’s great for winter walking and window-shopping downtown, at an event or even going to and from the car. My girlfriend once loaned me her expensive fur trimmed Woolrich parka to walk around Manhattan, and I do believe this is every bit as warm as that coat at half the price. It’s a little heavy getting it in and off, but once it’s on, it’s joyously warm. I do highly recommend this coat if you have cold and snowy winters.

Not for cold climates!
I bought this coat back in September but have not had cold weather until the past few weeks so could not rate this coat. I will give credit that it has nice features & is true to size. However I HATE this coat! It is noisy & stiff with movement. It is not warm at all. There is no insulation in the sleeves, only the two fabric layers. My back & especially my arms feel chilly even with a sweater on. In order to make this coat serviceable for cold weather I am going to have to make a lining for it but the sleeves will still be very cold.

Disappointed
Disappointed in this parka. While it's sturdy, and fits well, it is not "engineered for extreme cold". Walking my dog while wearing this parka in 23 degree weather that "feels like 10 degrees" due to the wind chill, I would quite literally freeze to death were I not wearing a second hooded jacket underneath this parka. It is not as well insulated as its described. For such a heavy coat, I expected better. I also take issue with there not being a drawstring waist. The cold seeps up from underneath the parka as a result. I do not recommend this product.

Short Sleeves
The sleeves are SHORT! I’m not even tall, I’m only 5’5”. The overall quality is great, the sleeves are just short. Women’s 3x plus size.

Toasty warm!
I live in Upstate New York and we get plenty of lake effect storms. I bought this at the end of winter season last year and I'm glad I did. It's warm, breaks the wind, and keeps you dry. Love the pockets. I've also received positive comments on the color.

Style, comfort, and warmth!
Coat feels heavy and that is what I wanted. When you put it on, you know you will be cozy outside in lower 20s and teens. Very stylish with removable faux fur lined hoody and ability to cinch waist. The proof will be in January in Breckinridge!

A mixed bag
I wanted to love this parka. The pockets are perfection (small vertical pockets with tiny zipper pulls are useless when you're wearing gloves). The patch pocket holds keys, wallet, etc., the handwarmer pockets are nice thick fleece, and the stash pockets are great. But I had to return it as the filling in the back and shoulders just didn't keep me warm (on a 2-mile walk in 20 degrees F). If you're looking for a nice winter parka that's not super toasty, this is great. Lands' End, please keep doing these horizontal outer pockets and roomy stash pockets. Just plump up the filler a bit more!

Lovely cold weather coat
This was a great coat, only I realised not what I was looking for. I wanted a replacement for my twenty year old Squall jacket. This new jacket was too warm for me. Sadly returned.
