First, I have to preface this review by stating that I won't be wearing this parka regulary. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely as I hate being cold and where I am in the SF Bay Area, when those times do come around, and thankfully they are not too frequent, this is worth it's weight in gold.

Fit: I'm 5'11" and weigh about 205 and this parka is oversized on me. Enough for layering underneath for when the need arises. I've got the Phantom down jacket in large and that fit's spot on and this is bigger overall than the Phantom which is good as for when you need something like this jacket, you don't want to rely on just the parka alone.

The body of the parka is as a parka should be: Not like a jacket which comes down to the waist but instead goes down to around the seat level. Sleeve lenth is spot on with my 35 arm length.

Very comfortable fitting and I'm not worried about being back East again in DC when the temps are -15 with wind chill with this on and a sweater underneath it.

This parka is perfect! Frigid cold weather, I look forward to your next arrival!
