not for cold winters
You will need a very warm sweater to wear with this coat. The sleeves are not insulated at all. I froze in 40 degree weather with a little wind. It is nice that the hood is detachable but I had to change the cheap fur attachment. Also buttons with the zipper would be better. Snaps do not stay closed. Land's End used to make better quality garments years ago. I wonder what happened.

I hope you never need this coat!!
This is a very excellent coat. I live in a Chicago suburb. So far this winter we'd "enjoyed" temperatures of -1 degrees. Yes, very cold but I still have to go to work. This coat allowed me to get to my car comfortably and then clean it! Very warm.

Absolutely beautiful - generous sizing on sleeves the ivory is very pretty like a wedding cream white - pockets and hood are fleece lined - warm warm warm - the longer length in the back is really nice -

A fortress
The coat was very beautiful but very big on me. I will have to return it.

Love this coat!
Perfect for when you need a very warm coat! It has great pockets inside and out. Huge roomy pockets that snap on the front and fleece lined pockets on the side. Love that the hood is fleece lined as well. The coat is a little heavy but it keeps the wind out. It zips up high to cover the neck and the sleeves have adjustable Velcro.

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.
