I bought this coat because I was looking for something to protect me against the frigid winter weather. It wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny. It is insulated with 600 fill down, which keeps me nice and toasty. There are two zip pockets in the front as well as an inside pocket. The coat is 3/4 in length, which protects more of the body from the cold and a nice hoodie that can be adjusted to cover your head. I can't say enough how much this coat keeps out the wind. And, it's not too shabby looking either. The coat comes in an assortment of colours from your basic black to "mission plum".
