Water-Resistant Insulated PolarForce Jacket with Performance-Flex, -40°F Rated Winter Coat (Black/Charcoal, XL Tall)

Warmest winter jacket I have ever owned! When the jacket arrived, it had warmed up and was in the high 20's to low 30's and was almost too warm. But as our winters go in northern Minnesota, it wasn't long before it was below zero again. That's when I found out how warm and comfortable this jacket truly is. I have always owned Columbia winter jackets and have liked them very much, but during cold snaps, you could feel it through the jacket and if I had to do things outside, I would always put on a hooded jacket under it to stay warm, but then it became too bulky to move.The RefigiWear jacket not only keeps me warm when I'm out in sub zero temps, I just wear a t-shirt under it, but the flex zones make it easy to move as well. And unlike others, when they get cold, they sound like they are cracking; this jacket doesn't have that problem. The wind doesn't cut through the jacket either, which is nice. The fit is nice, and there is enough room that if I wanted to wear a sweatshirt under it, I could and still be comfortable. I would order another one of these in a heartbeat!

Heavy coat, doesn't bind, well-made, metal zipper (!), good pockets, waist drawstring, tight sleeve cuffs . . . and a big neck-hole with a perfectly pointless nehru-style collar that lets cold air flood in. Why, God, why? Some designer wanted a look and forgot about function, that's why. It's nothing a muffler can't fix, but what I wanted here was a single garment I could put on and be warm. If I had it to do over I would get one of their boxy, Soviet-style older models with the faux-fur collars. Those things are like wearing a little well-insulated house.

This is one of my favorite winter jackets. It's very warm, but it doesn't overheat you when you walk into a warm building. The flex fabic on the elbows and back give the jacket an excellent range of motion. I don't feel constricted at all like in other jackets. The size is true to fit. If you normally wear a large jacket I would recommend the large. Tried the XL and I was swimming in it. The build quality is very good and feels like it will last a very long time. I primarily use this jacket when I'm working outside in Alaska.

I needed a jacket with a hood. It ran a little large (not a problem if you are going to layer underneath) and it had a large collar opening. The lack of a hood combined with the large collar opening nullifies the waterproof properties. That said, I never rain tested it, but after trying it on I felt that it wasn't going to suit my needs. I gave it 3 stars because the rest of the construction and the description were spot on. Perfect jacket for cold and dry, very warm. I wouldn't wear it in a rainstorm though.

My husband loves them he said you can wear just long underwear no clothes very warm

I drive a electric pallet jack in a coldstorage so i was looking for something warm without comprimising my range of motion during the day, this jacket is perfect for that, looks better in person than in pics.

This coat is very nice and is very warm.

Very warm. Needed to take off coat when temp was 17o
