Glacier Women’s Vegan Down Winter Coat with Faux Fur Hood - Parka Jacket for Women

Warmth/waterproof This jacket was actually really warm. I was snowboarding in 20 degree weather and I was actually hot. I also wore it around and it kept me extremely hot. The jacket was also waterproof. I was snowboarding in the snow and fell a couple of times and at no point did the jacket get wet. Color The jacket I got was the white one. It’s actually a very bright white color. It is also designed for high visability so I was actually kind of easy to spot even in low visability. Utility The jacket had a ton of really deep big pockets. It made carrying things around a lot easier. The only downside was that the “phone” pocket (located on the inside of the jacket near the breast area) is actually really small and didn’t even come close to fitting my iPhone 8. It does have a slightly bigger pocket underneath that pocket but if you’re snowboarding or skiing your phone would be in an uncomfortable spot as it pokes you. This isn’t a big deal but it was a little annoying. Material/quality The jacket is made from really nice warm materials. It is a bit thicker than traditional snowboarding jackets but it was still really high quality. The stitching was really well done as well. The fur is also really nicely made. It got wet a couple of times and it always dried nicely and has not gotten matted and gross like most other fux fur. Overall I would totally recommend this jacket. I used it around town as well as snowboarding and it did a great job at keeping me warm and dry. It’s a nice fitting jacket and looks actually quite stylish and it’s a thicker coat. The only downside was the phone pocket but it’s just a minor inconvenience.

While I live in Charlotte, NC, where the winters are usually mild, we are traveling to Buffalo for Christmas and while there going to a Bills football game. I knew that I needed a heavy winter coat. I read so many reviews and decided on this one. Let me say that I am not someone that spends a lot of money on single items, but at $180 this coat is worth every penny and more. It is obvious why this coat is on the more expensive side - it's very well made and heavy. The pockets are fleece lined and big enough for hands and a phone. There is a pocket on one upper arm maybe for earbuds or something else small. There are also two decent sized pockets on the inside of the coat. The coat zips up easily and has snaps as well. The sleeves are cuffed with thumb holes. There are also snaps on the each side (outside of coat) where you can tighten the waist about an inch or two. The hat is heavy and the faux fur lining will definitely keep the wind out, but is a bit oversized so it may be hard to see side-to-side. I am 5'6", weigh between 165 and 170 and I got the XL to make sure I had room to layer if needed. The coat fit slightly big, exactly what I wanted. The length is just below my butt, which is perfect. And the blue color is beautiful and as pictured. I can't wait to test this in Buffalo next month. Update: We went to the Bills/Patriots game in Buffalo. Temperatures were in the single digits. I did have on layers with such low temperatures, but I did not get cold. In fact, heading back to our vehicle, I was actually too warm. I would have been warm with less layers. This coat is 10 out of 10 for warmth!

This is a very well made, high quality coat. I would say it fit about to size maybe slightly smaller than expected but not necessarily to increase your size. I like that the hood was detachable and still left a collar to zip up around your neck. Cuffs in the sleeves to help keep snow out of your jacket. A thoughtful thumbhole in the cuff if needed for even more added stability. It is not as bulky as the popular puffer coats but it is fairly heavy and does have some bulk so for those looking for a light lighter midweight winter jacket this may not suit your purpose although it is not marshmallow man bulk. It had a lot of extras like interior pockets the thumb hole and other thoughtful things that you wouldn't think you needed until you have them. It's an attractive well-made very warm coat. I would recommend it for those who are active outdoors and in need of a warm coat.

My husband and I were going to Norway and needed warm coats. I purchased 3 different coats and wore them around the house. This coat was so insulated, I was hot! I brought it on our trip and was warm the entire time. Travel guides said wear layers in below freezing weather. Nope. I wore a t-shirt and this coat. It was incredibly comfortable. The pockets were not zip and kind of hard to secure items in with only a snap and the buttons that hold the hood on are very flimsy. I considered sending it back but it's so cute and warm, I will save it for our next cold weather trip.

I love this coat. Super warm. Comfortable.

I'm so happy with this jacket! I purchased this coat after a lot of research to find a plus-size parka that would fit my bust and not make me look like a marshmallow. I was nervous buying based on the size chart but I knew I could return it if needed, so I took the leap. I ordered a 3xl since I have a larger bust and broad shoulders and I normally have a very tough time finding a coat that will allow me to move comfortably when fully zipped. I probably would have been fine in a 2xl, but the 3xl isn't overly big and I can easily move my arms and wear a sweatshirt underneath. The coat itself is great quality and I love the sweater-like cuff on the sleeve, it adds extra warmth and keeps snow out. It's a heavier coat and feels like it will keep me nice and warm in the negative winter temperatures of Northern New York. The fur on the hood is exactly what I was looking for, nice and fluffy and high quality. Overall I would highly recommend this coat to anyone looking for a fashionable and functional plus-sized parka.

This is a great coat. I bought an x-large thinking there would be room for a sweater not realizing that the coat would be warm enough without an extra layer. The hood is held on by a zipper and can be removed. The sleeves can be kept in place and not ride up by a thumb slit in the cuff. This is a vegan coat and is truly warm and light to wear. I would recommend this and find it is as warm as the goose down coat I wore before.

I have never bought a coat without trying it on , so this was very risky for me to spend this kind of money without seeing it first. I was so happy when I opened the package and put it on. It fit exactly as the ad said it would. I am an XL and this coat still gives ne room to put on a heavy sweater and not feel like it’s too tight. The sleeve length is perfect and it is very warm. I wore it while we had a couple of weeks of -35 weather. I fed horses every day and was very comfortable. The hood is nice and big and even has a drawstring to tighten it up around the face in a blizzard. I like that the collar has fleece on the inside so when you zipper it all the way up it’s soft and warm against the face. It also has a nice little waist adjustment on the side on the outside that allows you to bring in the waist a couple of inches if you want that trimmer silhouette. The only thing that I wish is that it had a real fur trim. Faux fur is ratty and so not high end. All faux fur is made from petroleum products and I would much rather have a trim that is organic. It would look and feel much nicer and be actually being warmer as that what fur does. Other than that I am very happy with this product and am impressed with the quality that Alpine North puts into this product as well as the sizing that is so accurate.

Très beau manteau, confortable, il me fait super bien (moi qui a du poids en trop). Il aurait pu être plus serré, l’air passe dessous. Il est chaud jusqu’à - 14 degrés Celsius. Plus froid que ça, il fait froid, mais c’est peut-être à cause qu’il n’est pas assez serré. Il a une belle longueur, pas trop long ( je mesure 5 pieds 6), le manteau fini sous les fesses. Il cache l’entièreté des fesses. Pour le froid, mettre une veste ou chandail chaud, ça règle le problème. Bon achat, je l’aime beaucoup.

Absolutely amazing coat. It's been great for winter so far. I barely notice the wind and cold, even in -23.

This is such an amazing jacket! It is bar-none the warmest one that I have ever owned. I only need one layer of clothes underneath it, where my past jackets have needed several layers to keep me warm. The fit is great, with long sleeves. The high neck has a soft lining, and snaps up comfortably, so that a scarf is not really needed. The main pockets are very large. The hood is simply fabulous! It is very large with alot of long fake fur. My head keeps warm even without a hat. The hood is so large that it almost covers my entire face if I pull it forward. I am so happy with my purchase! Way to go Apine North...you nailed it! 👍
