I only like hot weather but live in Kansas. I have had one coat for years that kept me warm, everything I bought after that was not as warm... Until now! This coat really keeps me toasty in sub freezing temperatures, the areas of my body that this covers are fine and the rest of my body feels cold despite layering, that's how good this coat is. It's beautiful and a gorgeous color that you don't see everywhere. My photo is a bit light, the true color is more like the model website photos. This is true to size and I can wear a fleece top underneath. I'm so impressed I have bought a 2nd coat from Alpine North. Thanks for a wonderful coat!
