I like the parka, haven't wore it because it's been warm where I live. But the jacket is not too heavy .. nice and warm .. I'm thinking of getting another pair, of course a different colour ...
When sears was in canada i purchase alpinetek and was happy my jacket. Unfortunately someone had stolen my jacket. I have been looking for a few years. So i ordered this winter jacket and it was worth the wait.
OMG! this coat is AMAZING! it's beautiful, and comfy and it fits!! I am pushing 300lbs and I can wear a sweater UNDER this coat. It fits me perfectly, it is SO WARM!! and absolutely gorgeous! When I tried this coat on I almost cried. I can move in it. I can zip it up without issue, it doesn't restrict my movement, it's not stiff. Wearing it out in -25 wind chills and I am toasty warm(so much so that I'm sweating a bit) I've never had such an excellent coat before and I've been telling everyone about it. It is everything I have ever wanted in a coat.
