Eddie Bauer Women's Sun Valley Down Parka

Bought this coat to wear in winter Carnival in Quebec. Thought I wanted a Canadian Goose... But too expensive... We faced Sub zero temps (C) my body stayed warm whole time! The best feature is the hood... We live in Buffalo and the hood has additional snaps to keep wind and cold out...it's so comfortable I never want to take it off. Best coat I've ever purchased...

I live in Wisconsin. I bought the coat prior to a trip that included Chicago, Minneapolis, and Amsterdam. One coat had to handle all three places. This one was absolutely perfect! Chicago was cold, Amsterdam was cool and overcast, with rain thrown into the mix on our last day, and Minneapolis was downright frigid— meaning never above zero and as low as 19 below. I was comfortable in all three places, as well as at home since I returned. Another advantage is that the coat stuffed easily into the overhead compartment on the airplane without taking up much space. A nice feature is that it has a zipper pocket on the left chest that fits my iPhone 8 Plus. I am particularly pleased because I returned two or three disappointing coats before I finally got this one. It was definitely worth waiting for.

I am 5'7", 135lbs, and originally ordered a small, despite other reviews. It fit well, except that it was too tight across the chest (an unusual problem for a small-chested lady), and after a while it became hard to take a deep breath. Returned for a medium, which fits much better.Pros:Wind-proofWarm (it was 9 degrees and windy here in WI yesterday, and I was comfortable, if not toasty, running errands).Sleeves are long enough (!!!)Sleeve cuff and pockets are very soft.Hood is generous, and stays up. Haven't had problems with the snaps yet.Haven't had problems with feathers poking through yet.Cons:Still a bit tight across the chest/shoulders. I feel restricted when reaching for anything.Pockets could be deeper. My wrists stick out if I extend my fingers.Another thing I noticed is that this coat is warm except when leaning up against anything outside/in a cold car. Unlike other down coats, which provide an insulated 'cushion' (can lie on a snow-covered ground and not feel the cold seep through), the lack of bulk on this coat (a plus!) doesn't provide that same cushion.Overall, it's my new go-to winter coat, and I am satisfied with it.

This coat is amazing. Fits beautifully, flatters the figure, and is very warm. I live in Fairbanks Alaska. I waited until a cold week to review. This last week we saw temperatures as low as -42. I stayed very comfortable in this coat. I love the minky lined cuffs and pockets. Breast pocket is perfect for my iPhone 8 Plus and keeps it inside the down layer. I ordered a xxl for my large bust and it fits perfectly. I’m 5’4” too if that helps. I had to have this color too. I did order and try two other Eddie Bauer coats but this is the one I kept. Will definately buy from them again.

I looked at many other brands including the north face, and this coat looks higher quality than any of them. I wear a size 12 in a dress and the large fits perfectly, with plenty of room for layering. Doesn't look puffy. I love it!

Bought the coat after reading a magazine article which described it as one of the top warmest. The ticket labels indicated it can tolerate -30f temperatures, however I put the coat thru the test wearing it during the recent frigid cold wave in NY! It didn’t work as expected. I’ve already contacted Eddie Bauer not sure what they could do, though

Coat looks good, but the hood is a problem.it would work better with a zipper to take it offif desired. Generally I don't take my hoods off my coat.If it had two more buttonsor snaps at the front to hold the nice furry bit in placewhen you're not wearing the hood over your head would improvethis coat also, the hood collar was not well designed. Ifyou hang the coat up by the hood, which i like to do, thewhole thing comes right off. I don't love this coat.For size, it runs small in the arms midriff, a belt would be nice.The fabric is wonderful inside, but the outside is a bit rough andnoisy when you move your arms. The finish at the wrist isvery basic. Some might consider that a flaw.

Buyer Beware. I get tiny down feather fragments all over the back of everything I wear with this coat. (Of course, I discovered this 8 days after the return window closed.) I have never laundered this coat; there are no excuses for this. $178 for a brand new down-leaking coat. Disappointing!
