Coze Down Parka - Women's

So warm!

Bought the parka for my wife and she was thrilled! She is hard to please, but this did the trick. The parka is long enough to cover her hips (she has SI joint pain, so keeping them warm is critical) and was super comfy. The parka was perfect for taking the dogs out for their walk in the winter. It may be a bit much for more strenuous activities given the volume.

Awesome Deal

This jacket is awesome. Wife uses it at our daughters nordic ski races and it keeps her warm.

warm and cozy

Great jacket, super warm. Perfect for wearing around the ski hill before/after hitting the slopes. Also cute enough to walk around town in. Love the thumb holes. I'm 5'9'' & 150#, got a medium. It's a little big, but I don't think the arms would have been long enough if I went down to a small.

Perfect

I am always freezing. I've tried all sorts of cold weather jackets but this one is by far the warmest and comfiest coat I've ever bought. I'm also short so added bonus for me is that it goes past my knees. This coat is definitely worth every penny!

Fabric is problematic

I am returning this because the fabric picks up every bit of lint and hair. If you have a dog this is not the coat for you. After wearing it for an hour it looked like it was 10 years old. Also for the price it seems cheaply made. No zipper cover, small pockets, no fleece lining like my last parka, and also not very warm compared to others I have owned. Do not recommend.

Not water resistant. Gets wet when it’s snowing ou

I had to take 2 stars off because it’s not water resistant. I tested it out outside on a day when it was 20F and snowing. This parka got wet within 2 hours. Pretty disappointing because I like the fit and it would be great to ware it in winter but I guess only on days when it’s not snowing here. Cons: it’s not heavy and roomy. (I’m 5’4” 143lb between size 4-6 and kept Small, M was too big).

Feels like a warm hug

Native Minnesotan here. This jacket feels just like a warm winter hug - I’m on winter #3 with mine and it’s the jacket I’m most excited to pull out of my closet every year. Frigid dog walks when your dog insists on the long route? You’ll be cozy. Bonfire hangs? You’ll be cozy. Deciding to leave the office to walk for lunch for a break from your coworkers after your boss forced you back to the office? You’ll be cozy. This is my most “recommended” product for friends - four of them bought it after trying my coat. It holds up, washes well, and is a warm dream. Seriously, get this coat. Originally, I order two sizes - a small and a medium. I opted to keep the medium to allow for layering under it and feel great about that choice!

Really warm

This coat is excellent. When I wear it I’m never cold. I really appreciate the extra zippers to help make walking easier.

Perfect for prairie cold

This is seriously the most comfortable and well designed jacket I have ever worn. The zippers are sturdy and the inside material is perfect for layering. The neck is high enough and the hood is lofty enough to keep me warm all the way to -25
