Haven Outerwear Women's Zip-Front A-Line Parka Puffer Coat

Update: This coat is sooo warm! I have had it for a year and a half and I love it so much! I have never had a coat this warm, and I live in Wisconsin so I have had many winter coats in my life. Even when it is windy and the temperature is below zero, my torso stays warm and toasty (compared to my face and legs which feel like they are gonna fall off...or hurt so bad I wish they would). I don't know why I wasn't in love with this coat when I first received it, it is super cute, but I guess I wanted something more form fitting...which is idiotic. If my figure can be seen through my winter coat, there is no way it is warm enough for Wisconsin winters. And after having it a year, I am glad for the extra room...it allows me to layer sweaters or wear a vest under it.Original Review: I love the style of this coat, but at 5'3"/110lbs/34B the XS was still too large. I kept it because I desperately needed a warm coat, but even with a thick puffer vest underneath it is baggy.I really wish this ran a bit smaller. If so, I would order another one in beige (to wear with black pants/leggings and dark jeans. I love wearing leggings, but the black coat with black pants makes me feel like I am going to a funeral).Update: A year and a half later...This coat is sooo warm! I have had it for a year and a half and I love it so much! I have never had a coat this warm, and I live in Wisconsin (so I have had many winter coats). Even when it is windy and the temperature is below zero, my torso stays nice and toasty (compared to my face and legs which sometimes feel like they are gonna fall off...or hurt so bad I wish they would). Luckily the faux fur around the hood is really effective at blocking my face from the wind (although there is an issue with the hood which I explain below).I don't know why I wasn't in love with this coat when I first received it, it is super cute and can be worn with just about any outfit (well, probably not formal). I think I wanted something more form fitting...which is idiotic. If my figure can be seen through my winter coat, there is no way it is thick/warm enough for Wisconsin winters. I still find it a bit roomy...but really, not that much and frankly I am glad for the extra room...it allows me to wear thick sweaters or multiple layers under it without feeling constricted (I can even wear a sweater & puffy vest under it comfortably).The coat has held up wonderfully. I wear it to campus everyday in the winter; during which time, I always have a super heavy backpack on and am constantly getting rained/sleeted/snowed on (not to mention covered in salt from rubbing up against cars that are coated in dirt & road salt). Despite all that wear & tear, it basically looks the same as the day I got it. This is a very high quality coat.My only complaint is about the hood. It is really big & there is no way to fasten it under my chin, so the smallest breeze will blow it off my head exposing my face to the wind/cold. When it is really cold, or raining/snowing, I have to walk holding the two sides of the hood tight under my chin so it stays in place. I have thought of adding some kind of button or tie...unfortunately I have no idea how to do such a thing. That is the only way I think this coat can be improved. It really is the nicest/most effective winter coat I have ever had. And for such a high quality item, the price is amazingly reasonable!

Warm coat but I wish it ran a little longer. Since I'm 4'11" and usually wear a 2P or 4P in a coat, this has to be a first, especially since I sized up to a regular size small to fit over bulky sweaters. I wish I'd gone with an XS, since the coat is already roomy. It has a long rounded hem in back, so I thought it would be a good car coat, keeping away the chill on cold winter mornings before my seat warmers have actually warmed up, but it is a tad too short for that, which is disappointing. I discovered this after I had already taken the tags off, sitting in my car when the temperature was below freezing. Wish it had inside pulls to cinch the waist. Having opted for a roomier size to accommodate heavy layers underneath, I can feel strong wind gusts when I wear a lighter layer underneath. At this price I'm still very happy with the coat. When the wind isn't blowing hard, it keeps me warm even with light layers on in cold NY weather. With a bulky wool sweater underneath it should be a good choice when I'm hiking. It has nice hand warmer pockets and two zippered pockets at the chest level that can accommodate my iPhone 6s with a case. To my surprise, despite the odd placement on a women's coat, you can't tell the phone is there. The warm hood stays up when it's windy and the faux fur doesn't block my peripheral vision - a problem I've had with other furry hoods. Although I'd love it if the longer back actually covered my seat and there were strings to cinch the waist, I still like the coat a lot. It's a well made warm jacket, comparable to those I've paid several times more for, and even having gotten a larger size than I needed, it looks nice on and is less bulky than most parkas.

I am a petite 5' 1" 120 Pounds woman and After reviewing some comments I decided to go with the x-small . Let me tell you I am glad with my choice . It fits perfectly and has extra room for bulky sweaters . But I have narrow shoulders and 32B bust so if you are bigger than that I do Recomend going a size up because even if it has plenty of room on the body and hips area it will be a little tight on the shoulder and arms .. Some people make comments about the zipper that can be jammed with the fabric and that's true if you go too fast because the inside fabric tends to go near the zipper when you are pulling it up . That's something that with an inside stitch the designer would have avoid that , maybe for a future style they might take that into consideration . But for me that's not an Issue at all . It's warm and cozy , I bought it for New York winters so I think it will accomplish keeping me warm !!!

I tried on this jacket (size L and I wear a 14 in most items right now) and it fit pretty well and looked very nice - enough that I cut off the tags to wear it right away. Unfortunately though, I didn't try on the hood first before doing so and the hood is huge! I can hardly see with it on as it hangs down enough to almost cover my eyes. It's annoying enough that I would have returned the jacket had I not cut off the tags. I wish the hood was removable but only the faux fur collar is. Which is a bummer as it's very real-looking and feels very nice too. So the fur collar had to come off and the hood is just tolerable now.I would have given it five stars had the hood been proportionate to the jacket.

There's just one thing that keeps me from loving this coat. It's a minor thing but creates a big hassle. The lining of this coat is kind of loose and baggy and it is constantly getting caught in the zipper. I don't have 20 minutes to unstick the lining from the zipper every time I want to take my coat off!! Other than that, it's a nice looking coat and it's pretty warm. I wouldn't really recommend it on days when the temps drop into the single digit range, but if it's 20 degrees or above it does well. It's a nice longer length, covers your butt. If it weren't for the lining/zipper issue, I would be really happy with this coat.

Esta chamarra es sin duda una de las mejores que he comprado, yo uso tamna M y compre la XL porque me gustan amplias y con suficiente olgura para usar suéter abajo. La talla es correcta.

Buena calidad y bonito color...un pocomas verde oliva que la imagen.

Buen precio y buena calidad
