Whistler - Women's Bellway Parka W-Pro 10000 - Parka

I bought this after returning the Didriksons Alicia Parka that was massively large.
Whistler Bellway Parka is half the price so a bargain in my opinion.
It is very long - mid calf in length on me.I am 162 cm.The recommended size was 40 , though I have 2 Didriksons((Hani) jackets that are size 38. A 38 would have been a better fit for me but I am OK with the larger 40 as it has not swamped me the way the Alicia Parka did. The Whistler Bellway is very comfortable to wear.It has a loose fit and has a very simple design which I like.The side pockets are deep.There is an inside and outside breast pocket, both of which are of a decent size and can comfortably hold a large phone. The hood is a decent depth and has a fleece lining, as do the pockets. Despite the long length on me, fast paced walking is possible, due to the slit at the back. It is a warm coat, probably warmer and less breathable than I was hoping for. This would be my only negative. Warm can be good but with that comes a need for greater breathability. I do like the coat and feel I got a bargain as the quality seems very good so far.
