Canada Goose Women's Mystique

I bought this coat to help withstand Korean winters. It is the warmest coat I have ever owned (and I have owned expensive ($400USD+) Northface and Columbia coats. This coat has kept me warm in -13c temperatures (And expect it will when the temp drops to -18c)Fit:- I am not a small woman (5'8/173cm and about 75kgs. I have broad shoulders) and the large fits me perfectly. I can layer up under it or just wear a thin shirt. However, even at my height, I find the length and arms of the coat to be very long. It is almost down to my ankles (Of course this adds to the warmth). If you are any shorter than me, the L size may be too long for you. Check the sizing guides carefully.Pros:-warmth and wind protection in extreme cold-don't need scarf, gloves or hat. The collar, pockets and hood keep you warm enough.-style - flattering and timelessCons:- Price. But I consider it an investment. I would recommend buying this coat if you live in cold climates with extreme winters rather than a series of cheaper coats.-Bulk - it can be a bit bulky on public transport (i.e. when you are sharing a seat with someone, you may accidentally take up too much space), but not excessively so, and you just need to be aware of yourself

I checked out this parka for three years in a row, because it was so expensive. By the time that, each year, I'd gotten to the point where I thought I'd spring for the $800, the parka was sold out in my size. So the next year, I'd check it out again.This year, my husband noticed me on Amazon, looking at the coat, and asked me about it. Hearing my story, he suggested a deal; he'd give me half the price of the coat as my Christmas present. I said "Yes!" and, two weeks later, the coat arrived.How many ways can I say that I love this coat? It is the warmest coat that I've every worn, but for my mother's old fur, which is about as warm. The hood is fantastic; when it's up, you feel as though you are encased in a very warm cocoon. While this winter has not been harsh, I wore the coat on the one single-digit day that we had, and was warm as toast. This is from someone who is always cold; my sensitivity to cold is a family joke. ("It's 65 degrees Mom; put on your hat and gloves.")Plus, the coat is good-looking, not clunky at all. One caveat: if you wear it over a business suit, purchase a size larger than your usual size.A week or so after I'd started to wear the coat, while shopping in a store on Madison Avenue in NYC, I was told by the sales person, who was European, that in Europe, Canada Goose coats are so prized that people steal them out of gym lockers. I can see why. Definitely invest in this coat; it's a keeper!

Warm and comfy. Be careful if you are not a tall person. I'm 5'3" 120 pounds, and I ordered a "small." It fits well, though I'm not going to lie, a little more room in the hips would be nice. The medium would have been too big though, of that I am sure. If were any shorter, the coat would be too close to ankle length to be comfortable. I usually unzip it a bit from the bottom to make walking and getting into the car easier. Eventually, I might order a jacket length, one that is suited for "warmer" weather. I was gifted this one in December and since then, there have been only two days were the temperature has been below 20 degrees, which for Upstate NY is unusual... or not, given global warming.

True to size, stylish and very warm. Not penetrable to nasty NYC winds. The hood stays on and protects from the wind, rain and snow. I can spend a few hours outside walking my dog in the middle of the winter without getting cold. The pockets are extremely comfortable and in the best and most comfortable location. The lining inside the pockets keeps hands very warm. The fur can be taken off the hood if needed! I wish I had enough space in my closet to get this coat in white!

It was not as warm as I expected it to be yet it was early winter with temps in the 30's and it's supposed to be for arctic temperatures. I was disappointed because of the rave reviews it had that made me buy it.

It must be a return from a previous buyer -- it smells perfume and has signs of wearing on the cuffs. And there is a dry clean slip attached to the label... It's good coat though...

Pros* VERY WARM. This jacket has transformed my experience of winter. I basically don't get cold anymore, especially if I wear this coat with additional layers underneath.* Snug fitting, warm collar and hood* Sleeves have a long, snug cuff which keeps wind from entering the sleeves* The hood has a brim which, when folded forward, keeps falling snow out of your face.* The two exterior pockets are lined with fleeceCons* There is only ONE PAIR of exterior pockets. (Try finding a heavy-duty men's coat with only ONE PAIR of pockets!) And they are placed too high. I have to keep my elbows at less than 90 degrees to put my hands in the pockets, which gets uncomfortable after a while.* The fur is real. :( Fortunately it can be removed.* The hood keeps coming unzipped from the jacket. I had to add a closure at the end of the zipper to keep it attached.* If you fold back the brim of the hood, it sticks out at the corners and makes you look like a nun.

I bought this coat after an LL Bean and a Patagonia weren't warm enough for the winter here in Northern Europe. This coat is amazing. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's not really comfortable, for me at least, above 15F because it's just too hot. But luckily I have the other, inferior coats for those temperatures! I love the way the coyote fur ruff can be tunneled forward to create a little warm pocket of breathable air in front of your face. I can stay warm for hours in this coat in temps as low as -20F. It is an investment, but it's worth if you know you'll use it over the long haul.
