Its long length offers serious protection from the cold and its tall collar is nice and soft around your neck. While the stretch inner cuffs that accommodate your thumbs are a nice touch, I will be supplementing them almost of the time with my black Rab Power Stretch Contact Grip Gloves or my wonderfully padded Rab Khroma Freeride GTX Gloves in Firecracker orange. The zip is easy to adjust due to its large zipper tag even with gloves on.I bought it in a size medium (colour: Deep Denim with the yellow lining) and like that it still has room to manoeuvre underneath. I can wear my business suit jacket underneath or even add my Rab Electron vest when it’s particularly cold. I'm a UK size 12 and the medium fits me perfectly. I’m 5’11” and it comes down almost to my knees.When I get to wear this outside, I’ll likely almost always fully zip the jacket when I’m wearing it, that way I don’t need a scarf and it keeps the wind completely out. After all you’re wearing a long Winter jacket for a reason right?I’ll probably wear this jacket as a casual jacket rather than while camping but it is a beautiful jacket and I love its longer length. On separate occasions I have brought my Rab Infinity G jacket, Electron jacket or Axiom Pro jacket while camping. On those extra cold nights, they are very useful to wear zipped up in your sleeping bag. This Deep Cover might be even better due to its longer length. You might not even need the sleeping bag with this jacket.I should have mentioned like any down jacket you can benefit by putting it on and zipping it up (the higher the better) about 5 minutes before you head outdoors. This allows the down to absorb your body heat in advance of being outside. The pockets are really warm with their soft lining and absorb your body heat from the baffles on the front of the jacket (inside and out).I really don’t like when the wind gets up your sleeves or into your gloves but that won’t happen with this jacket. The elastic stretch cuffs at the end of the sleeves will stop this.I don’t recommend wearing this jacket when you are sitting down. This can cause the down to lose it’s puffiness and the jacket will become flatter in the places where it is being compressed.Overall, its an excellent jacket that I’m looking forward to wearing in the Autumn and Winter. Thanks for reading.

The color combination and style of this jacket is really great. But it doesn't move with your body in a way that feels right. I only wore it around the house walking around to try it out, and in a few short minutes, I could see the coat and zipper around the tops of the thighs were already starting to crease, creating a pouch in the stomach area. It seemed impossible to sit comfortably or get into a larger vehicle without having to unzip the whole thing. I'm petite and the coat was not tight, but constricting for normal movement. Returning.

I love this down coat! Love! Love! Love! It is warm, lightweight and flattering. The best part is that it fits comfortably through my arms, shoulders and chest with a sweater on. The sleeves are plenty long and have thumb holes that are very comfortable. The pockets are deep and ample. I cannot believe how warm it is while still being flattering. I am 5'4" about 115-120 pounds and ordered a small.
