Praise vs. Criticism

Delighted

I've had this coat a couple of weeks and couldn't be more pleased. It's a great length with a fashionable hemline. Zip fastener instead of fiddly buttons, big hood with a high closure at the neck, quilted without being too bulky and 100% waterproof. I've walked in driving rain, I've taken the dog to the park, I've even worn it out at night! Favourite new coat that I've no doubt will last for years.

Definitely not warm enough for a winter coat

I've only given 3 stars as this coat is only useful for autumn in the wind and rain.
I wanted to replace my old Didriksons winter coat which I have had for over 10 years which was extremely warm and heavy - the only issue I have with it is that the colour is starting to fade so I was looking for a replacement but, unfortunately, this is not it and by the time I realised, I had already worn it out several times so I couldn't return it.

Good waterproof and windproof warm parka

It is a bit bigger and wider than expected, but very cozy and nice to wear and wind and waterproof. Take one size smaller than you normally would.
