I bought this jacket for a trip to Europe. We knew the temperatures would be cold so I was looking for something warm and stylish. This jacket fit the bill. It kept me toasty warm on the coldest days. I loved all of the pockets, especially the inside pocket where I could keep things secure while I traveled. I live in the Midwest, so the cold is nothing new to me, but I am excited to have a good winter jacket that will last me many years. Highly recommend. I normally wear a medium, but purchased a large and it was a good fit.
