So far it has proven to be windproof & very warm. Fit is true to size. I ordered a medium based on the hip size and it fits perfectly. I am 5'1" tall.
The one improvement that I would like to see is more definition at the waist on the outside back when the inside bungee cord is tightened.
I almost returned this jacket because the color wasn't what I expected: the navy blue is closer to black and the shoulders looks quite square and bulky. I ended up keeping it anyway because it was so comfortable and warm. The lenght is great and the hood is so cozy. For cold Montréal winter, I like it. I do wish the pockets were placed more on the sides so that it would feel more natural to put my hands in.
LAURENTIAN | WOMEN'S VEGAN DOWN (RECYCLED) LONG PARKA, NAVY
I bought the navy one, but the 'fur' around the hood is grey in colour. It looks great. The size is perfect. The waistline cinching works well. I really like that the hood does not come off. The inside of the hood is lined with dark coloured 'fur'. Feels so soft and luxurious. The wrists and neck areas are well-designed to prevent wind from entering. Feels like a cozy hug. Nice parka.
I received the incorrect color of hood fur on my jacket. I was going to return for the right one but was told they no longer stocked the one I ordered (pictured on their site). So they did reimburse me 15% which was nice, but I feel like they should be more organized.
Other than that the jacket is very nice and warm. But in the heavy side but good for winter and I do love the coat.
