A great jacket- just change the pockets!
I love this jacket- it's such a beautiful colour and I love the seamless look of it. I'm a size 10 and it fits perfectly and I found that the sleeve length is great (although I bought that same Narvi coat in the longer length and found the size 10 to be a size too big and the sleeves way too long - I had to size down for that one but not this one). I also love the oversized hood. The one thing that I wish was changed was zipped pockets instead of the single press stud to keep them closed. Overall, a great jacket and I bought it on sale for an amazing price too!... Show more

Cosy stylish jacket for a proper winter.
Cosy and stylish, super warm. I wore this coat in northern hemisphere Christmas period, some days were negative and I was still cosy. Probably too warm for Aussie winters but great for a stylish coat overseas. The hood is big enough that you can wear a beanie easily underneath it for the extra layer of warmth. Lovely colour too - a nice change from black. Would have liked a zip pockets rather than a button but it's those features which make this a style coat rather than a ski coat.It doesn't squash up into a small jacket when travelling so be prepared to wear or carry on flights. I was happy with the purchase for my purpose overall. It made me feel good wearing it - you can look good even in an arctic chill :) comes to hip length.... Show more

Disappointed
I liked it in some ways but in the end returned it and bought a longer one (more like the Macpac Aurora one I bought last year).1 wanted a navy one and the blue of the Narvi was a bit too cobalt in colour for me. It was also shorter than the Aurora (I wanted a bit more length - to below my knees, not on them).There were other things I didn't like - the press studs on the flap over the sob were v hard to press in shut! And the pockets were not zip up ones but only had one press stud (with the same problem as above - hard to press shut. A zip would have felt more secure for any valuables I would want to carry. Finally it was more boxy and less shaped that the Aurora I bought last year. I liked the shape of the one I had need up buying this year instead of the ...

Fabulous Super Warm Jacket!
This jacket is amazing! It is the warmest jacket ever. The larger hood makes sure the wind chill stays off your neck even without the hood up. Shame it wasn't a bit longer but it's still rates as my No 1 "go to" for outdoors active wear in fine cold weather. Not tested it out in snow yet but at 2C is an absolute winner! I highly recommend this jacket. I am very happy with this jacket and probably one of the best purchases I've made to date specifically for my trip to the Australian Alps. Buy one, you'll be glad you did.... Show more

Great winter coat
I'm so happy with this coat.I'm 164cms and 69kg, size 12-14 . The large accomodates my broad shoulders and long arms.* smarter than the standard look puffer quilting*feels comfortably thick, but not bulky and restrictive and not noisy fabric*good length and not too narrow through hips like some*essential 2 way zip and removable hood. I probably wont use the hood much and also its huge and not adjustable, although you can fold it back around face.I didn't want black so the dark olive colour is perfect and looks great with bright scarves....

I can’t believe how much I love this jacket
I wasn’t sure as it was not cheap but now I’ve worn it, I wouldn’t hesitate and know I’ll love it for years.It’s so lightweight to wear yet perfectly warm. The warmth self regulates without that unnaturally hot feeling from cheap polyester fill.The outer fabric is so nice, a gorgeous matte finish and no top stitching so stylish for all occasions.Love the option of full length gunmetal studs or zip or both so you can do it up where and how much you want.Love the high neck collar that looks stylish and keeps the cold out and the generous hood is huge but light so you feel so cosy and protected from the elements.Great deep pockets that you can plunge your hands into at the right height and nice long sleeves.I wish I’d read about it being a little oversized.

I got the 14 which is generous when done up and a little too big to wear undone. Unfortunately I fell in love with it too quickly to wait to exchange it for a smaller size.I got the black which is a nice soft black but all the colours are gorgeous.I literally can’t wait to get outside on cold wintery Melbourne days....

Not as high quality as i had hoped but ok
The style of this jacket is nice and a lot of peolel compliment me on it. I was a little dissapointed in the quality of the fabric given the price point.... particularly the lining of the jacket. I didnt return it as i got it on sale but if i had paid full price I would have returned it. It is warm though. I have friends with macpac jackets from a few years ago and the quality of the fabric is much better than this one.... Show more

Stylish warmth for busy mums!
I don't usually write reviews but I wanted to let you know how wonderful this coat is. Warm enough that I can now stand on the sidelines in the freezing cold for late afternoon soccer training, instead of hunkering down in my car. In autumn, at night, I'm wearing it with tights and two layers of merino underneath. No need for bulky jumpers. And the mid-thigh length means it keeps you warm all over. The cut is very sharp, and it also looks good dressed up with jeans and a scarf. It's not bulky or puffy. Very happy.... Show more

Versatile, good fit and a cuddle from nana
Best Jacket ever! I'm 5"11 and always struggled with short sleeves. These are long enough for tall people so your writs are actually covered. The hoodie is gorgeous and it actually covers your head and half of your face if you're in really cold conditions.The style is amazing as well, really stands out from the normal puffer jackets in the market. So you can use in other occasions too.Not to forget that this jacket feels like a warm cuddle from your grandma and I have no issue with it!... Show more

Winter holiday ready
Purchased the plum it's such a great colour. The size is perfect, I like a little big so I can layer up and have plenty of room to load up pockets. I loved the long sleeves that are easy to roll up. Perfect length. The hoodie is amazing, keeps out the cool air. I purchased this for Queenstown winter holiday and it completely did the job. Kept me lovely and warm. Now wear it regularly because it's so cozy! I'll be buying another in a different colour.... Show more
