I bought these coveralls for my husband as a Christmas gift. He uses them when he is blowing snow and says they keep him nice and warm, even when the temp is zero degrees. They are worth the price!

This is my first pair of insulated coveralls, so I am not going to compare them to other coveralls (if you are concerned with this, PUT DOWN THE COMPUTER!, get the first pair of coveralls you can find and get to work.) These coveralls are great, I recommend that you order one size bigger than the sizing chart recommends. I am 5'10", 34 inc. waist and weigh 193 lbs. size large fits perfect.

I was looking for a pair of coveralls for temperatures in the 30 to 50 degree range. These fit the bill nicely. The insulation is what I would consider "medium"; enough thickness to be warm in such temps, not so much as to restrict movement.

First, these coveralls are loaded with features. The front two-way zipper is covered by a flap that has two snap closures; one at the waistline (more on that later) and one at the neck. The waist has elastic sewn in. The legs have zippers from the cuff to about mid thigh for easy on-off over shoes. Leg cuffs have snaps to adjust their fit around your boot. Sleeve cuffs have a snap for wrist snugness. The material at the knees have double thickness, and high stress seams are triple stitched.

On the left leg is a hammer loop and a narrow patch pocket about 5" deep and 2" wide. The left arm has a pencil pocket with two slots. The right leg has two patch pockets, one over the other, both about 2.5" wide. The smaller is 4" deep, the other about 7". There are two front slash pockets, and two pass-through openings with snaps to allow you to get to your pants pockets. On the chest are two low mounted pockets secured with zippers. The seat has two more patch pockets, with the left secured by a zipper.

Inside are three more pockets. The one on the right is 4" wide and 7" deep, secured by a hook and loop fastening tab. On the left is a similar sized pocket, minus the fastening tab, covered by a mesh cell phone pocket 3" by 5" and secured with a flap and hook and loop tab.

I bought a large. Comfort and fit are excellent. I'm 5'11", 200 lbs with a 32 inch inseam. The leg length is just right when worn over boots, but if worn with sneakers the cuff may be too long without tailoring. The outer material is not at all moisture resistant, but that is of minor concern for my application.

One minor glitch: My order arrived with a defective snap on the zipper flap at the waist. Not especially critical to the garment, but inconsistent with the overall quality. I contacted Walls Customer Service and they are sending some replacement snaps. For me it's easier to replace it myself than the hassle of exchanging these over something so insignificant. I just mention it because the folks at Walls were very accommodating. You can be confident that they will stand behind their product.

Bottom line: A full featured pair of insulated coveralls at a great price. I even like the color.

I ordered the wrong size but they gladly replaced it with the right size. My husband loves them. He has wore walls coveralls all the time.
