Wm's Montreaux Coat Warm Down Jacket, Insulated Hooded Winter Coat, Canada Goose Down Parka, Lightweight Packable Outdoor Jacket, Windproof - Steel Onyx, M

This is a very warm coat as others have said and as some have tested in much colder climate than in the UK. It is very comfortable to wear, weight is probably appropriate to its warmth. There are two inner pockets which I find very useful. I think it would look better on taller people. I am 5 '2 wearing S, the coat comes down to one inch below my knees so it does swamp me a bit.Update: This is the second winter I have had this. I found this year colder than last and I have found that I can’t live without this coat. It is super warm so there is no need for bulky layers. I usually just have a cotton top underneath and the coat keeps me very well insulated. For comparison I also have the Northface arctic parka and the Patagonia tres 3 in 1 coat. The Marmot is by far the warmest and most comfortable. Obviously the other two have better weather resistance having water-repelling outer shells. That said I was caught in a heavy shower once while wearing the Marmot. The outer fabric looked pretty soaked but after I hung it up upon arriving home the fabric dried completely in no time. I am so impressed with this coat that I have decided to buy exclusively Marmot down coats for my children from now as I believe they are quality products and one of the warmest on the market.

The XS is for a 25.5 inch waist, any larger then this will be super snug - I only know this as I've gained an inch after the hols.The design is elegant; the length reaches my knees (5ft 4), and doesn’t make me look like a Michelin man.To compare it against my North Face Metropols, the Marmot is superior. TNF doesn’t look as elegant and isn’t as warm as the Marmot Montreaux for several reasons:Marmot has cuffed the sleeves meaning the cold can’t creep up the arms.Marmot has added a faux suede type fabric inside the arms and also inside part of the inner lining, which keeps you warmer.Marmot has a smaller hood that sits close to the head, whereas north face metropolis has an enormous hood that’s not only visually ugly but can be blown off the head easily.The filling is generous and the cut is flattering to the figure.Marmot keeps me warm in windy and cold conditions whereas my North face metropolis only kept me warm in semi-cold conditions.Hope this helps.

I was a little apprehensive when ordering this coat, having read a number of reviews, about sizing. However, I needn't have worried. I am a size 14, 5'10" and the Large was perfect, even with a thicker jumper underneath. The length comes to my knees, which I really wanted and didn't expect. I wore it this last weekend when going to Brugge in Belgium, where it's surrounded by canals, therefore can get really rather cold when the wind gets up. I was as snug as the proverbial bug. I love the lined pockets, which were cosy. The extra internal pockets are useful too. The hood is a little big, but liveable. The coat is very lightweight too. Really very pleased with this purchase.UPDATE: I originally bought this coat to travel to the furthest north you can go, in Norway, in November. I wore this, along with layers underneath and was toasty all the time. A brilliant buy!

I got it more than one year ago. I would say that in my opinion is overly priced. I bought for italian Winter and in my opinion it does its job only for not very low temperatures. I wear it with -2/-4 degrees and it is ok but not extremely warm, I mean cannot stay outside for hours feeling warm. I never tried on colder weather. Also the finish of the jacket and the general impression is that it is cheap, the fake fur is extremely fake and not very soft, the zip is hard to close. The good thing is that is very light and soft and confortable. It is made in Vietnam.

Great coat in so many ways. Very lightweight and very warm (I put it in for size inside and had to take it off really quickly as it’s so effective). Good mid navy colour, not that unflattering dark navy. Not fantastically flattering - think the model must have been very slim! Length just on knees - I’m 5ft 7 and a size 12/14 ....... BUT when I pulled on the hood (great fur, BTW) it was HUGE and flopped right over my eyes. All visibility gone! I tried to turn it up but because of the shiny material that doesn’t work. I’ve got other cheaper coats with hoods that are wearable. I needed an extra warm long coat - and the hood wasn’t ever going to be just for show. So if you’re never going to use the hood/you have a massive head .... it’s a great coat. A thought : it’s not because I have a short neck either, in fact the contrary. With great disappointment I’m returning it. I’d love to know if this happened to other people? Is it a one-off?

This is currently my favourite coat; it feels soft, lightweight and warm. Other reviews said they had a problem with the zip but mine is fine; it’s just back to front for me but you get used to it. The coat has a lifetime garentee for the zip if it breaks or sticks anyway. I love the soft lining and the long length. The only thing I would change is the cuffs being tighter and the neck being more padded to make it more snug but that is not a big deal as a scarf or wearing a polo neck jumper solves that problem. The coat is warm; I was in search of the warmest mid priced range coat I could find. I have really feel the cold and find i need an extra jumper underneath in anything colder than 3oc but I bought the size large although I am a size medium(12) to accommodate this and it’s a perfect fit.

I was in a quandary given the reviews as to whether to purchase the M or L. I'm 5'8", 34C and generally size 10/12 or M. Not wanting to feel restricted across the chest as I'm more broad in the shoulder, or by wearing a 2nd layer as mentioned in some of the reviews, it gets cold here... I purchased L! Delivery was super speedy and I'm truly delighted. The coat looks lovely, feels snug & cosy as soon as it's put on. It comes to my knees, light weight and water resistant. To date no down/feathers have appeared through the fabric. Highly recommended if you are seeking a very warm winter coat :)
