Robert G. from United States, MN Public Profile

I got this as an end of year clearance, so I haven't put it to the test in the field. But as a long time Minnesota resident, I can tell this is going to keep me warm. Funny story though, when I first tried it on, I zipped it all the way to the top, then when I tried to unzip it, it stock. OMG, that was kinda scary because the coat is so warm, I could tell that if I couldn't get out of it in a few minutes, I would have to cut my way out of it because it was a warm spring day. Fortunately, my wife got it open. Turns out, there was a bit of a quirky trick, you just have to make sure you pull the zipper away from you and then down. Since I learned that, no zipper trouble. I can not stress again how warm this coat is going to be. This coat would probably be overkill for anyone not living in a truly aggressive winter environment. If you aren't living near mountains, a state bordering Canada, or Canada itself, you probably don't really need this coat. I am anxious to put this to the test next winter.
