The is a nice solid jacket. I sized by using Old Navy sizing. I wear an XL/1X or a size 16. The site recommended that I purchase a XL. I am 5'10" 222lbs and an XL did fot really snug no wiggle room at all. I should have purchased a 2X or even a 3X for some wiggle room. I like to have room to move around and not feel so tight.
I ordered a 2X and this is the most amazing jacket I have ever owned. Went to walk the dogs today in 35 degree weather and I didn't even get a chill. I would order this coat again if I needed to. A must buy if you are looking for a nice Jacket to keep you warm.

Ordered this for the current "Arctic blast" in the Northeast and got it just In time. Put it on and Wow! I have bought a lot of jackets by Cole Hahn, Helly Hanson, Andrew Marc, Northface and Marmot. THIS coat beats them all! Hands down. I ordered a small and it fit just right. If you want to layer maybe get one size up from what they recommend. I am size 6 or small usually and got a small. It is perfect without layers and is warm enough in this arctic air tonight. The fabric and warmth are amazing! The hood is lined with fleece and I didn't have a problem with the fit as others mentioned for the hood it was just right and stayed on with the wind. There are snaps on the hood to keep the fur higher or lower which is nice. Snapped back or unsnapped. The coat has snaps also and a zipper. The pockets are perfect and also have snaps. The sleeves have the cuffs and hand thumb holes so if you don't hVe gloves it helps. The coat is windproof and waterproof. It zips all the way up so it kept my face warm and protected without a scarf and hat. I only had one layer and it was three degrees with sun zero wind chills tonight in the northeast. It performed beyond my hopes! I don't like down coats or fur and find this coat warmer and better made than the brands i mentioned above. I was skeptical of trying it because of not knowing the brand and for the price, but I am so glad I did and that it came on time for the Arctic blast here. I don't know why people gave it any negative reviews for the hood or lack of a waste etc. it is the best coat I have ever purchased for winter in a store or online. I hope they make it forever! Honestly, JUST GET ONE! You won't regret it! I can't say enough good things about this coat by Alpime North! Except thank you for making it!

I love everything about this jacket. EVERYTHING! It is incredibly warm, comfortable, and just beautiful.

I live in an area that is below freezing for several months out of the year and this jacket was perfect! I walked around town a lot in this and felt super cozy! I love the orange lining and the material and a perfect matte. It compliments everything. Well made - so worth it!

I bought this coat for my upcoming Alaska trip. I live in Florida so I didn't want to invest a lot of money on a coat I may not wear again. I love North Face but I have to say this coat was a great dupe at a great price point. It has a thick and luxurious feel about it. I love all the pockets, you can cinch at the waist so it won't look boxy and the length is perfect, hits me right past my knee.
