Reviews & Ratings for Outdoor Research Extension Down Parka - Women's — 5 reviews — Page 1

Grabbed this sweet coat for my mom a couple of weeks ago. She lives in Bend OR. She loves it so much she can't wait for winter again, colors are great and shipping was fast.Now my wife wants one in a different color. Thanks campsaver.

Doesn't have best looks on the market, but super light and warm coat. My wife loves it. It gives high mobility while maintaining thermal protection in cold windy winter conditions. Hood is warm and can replace headwear, can be adjusted to fit around the face.

To follow up on my previous review - I received the size S and it fits perfectly, and doesn't look like a shapeless sack. I ended up getting the purple color, and it is really nice. I liked the pewter, but it is a light color, and thought that if I was trying another size, may as well try the other color. The M is on its way back. Campsaver has prompt shipping and good sales on really nice stuff. I am very happy with the way this turned out. This is the perfect coat for long walks on frigid days, in the city or in suburbia.

I call this a suit of armor, as it blocks wind and is also the color of armor (I got the pewter color). It is so warm! I wish it had more shape, but it's not about fashion when the wind is blowing and it is 7 degrees F outside. I ordered and received a Medium, and subsequently ordered a Small, which is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The Medium fits okay, but is a little big, and I feel like I am "all coat" when I wear it. I love that it is long, (I am 5 feet tall), but it doesn't really suit my petite / curvy stature in a flattering way. I find that many upscale/ outdoorsy brands are designed for the gamine body type, and I have to size up to a Medium, which ultimately looks somewhat oversized. I may be returning the Small, as I may not be able to zip it around my middle or chest, but won't know until it arrives. I have worn the Medium once on a walk, and am trying not wear it in case I return it, in favor of the Small. If the Small is too small, I will most definitely keep the Medium, as it is amazingly warm, but not particularly flattering on a small person. This is a high-quality, very warm coat that blocks the wind. It's too soon to tell, but I don't think it will have problems with shedding feathers.
