Patagonia does this, and they have ethically sourced down, too, but they are more expensive. When I was looking for a waterproof shell for our Alaska trip, I found several that were otherwise great except for the giant hood. One came down and covered my eyes, and obviously that was a fail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting/page/2#post-1986660 Sat, 29 Dec 2018 15:51:01 +0000 Anonymous 1986660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I checked Eddie Bauer in the outlets this week. Found one decent candidate, except for the hood...Kenny Every coat ive tried so far has had the Kenny hood phenomenon. Theyre so big they flop over my eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1985614 Mon, 24 Dec 2018 16:17:10 +0000 karen13 1985614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Found a longer version of my Sun Valley Parka. Sleeker with no chest pocket. But only in Atlantic, a warmer navy (the color I got in my link to my post above). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1985514 Mon, 24 Dec 2018 07:01:17 +0000 bj1111 1985514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a sort of review of orolay.

Nothing like being a finish line sequencer for a distance classic race in bitter weather when the wax is slow and the low elevation high school teams are dying at 7000 feet. Is it wrong to wish a teenager would drop out when they still have many km to ski and everyone else has finished? It is a long day of standing still. And I’m in California! I would never have learned to ski in the east or Canada. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1985383 Sun, 23 Dec 2018 16:32:54 +0000 Anonymous 1985383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordic races?

The fake fur is removable. Chevron, somewhat shaped, comes in a nice burgundy, dark loden green, cocoa, driftwood. Petite reg, tall, plus. On sale for $139 US. Toasty. Rated to -34F, but I can’t vouch for that. I’ve worn it standing around for hours in snowy 20F with comfort (timing Nordic races is cold work).</p> <p>Here is my K/R post from last year with IRL pics ad more detail on fit.<br /> <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eddie-bauer-petite-puffer" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....ite-puffer</a></p> <p>The Lodge is an even warmer option also on sale.

It ticks off many of the boxes you mentioned, but is outside the $150 price point, even when on sale.<br /> I have recently seen Orolay advertised......lots of great styles, Canadian down filled, wind and water resistant and at GREAT prices! I have no experience with this brand, but am considering ordering one after the holidays. I want one for dog walking that is a bit less bulky than the one I am currently using. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1984800 Fri, 21 Dec 2018 10:29:59 +0000 Anonymous 1984800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all-will check them out! The 150 isnt set in stone, but ive seen on Macys site a lot about that price (on deep discount). Just dont know know warm they are! The other thing is im planning to move so hopefully wouldnt need the coat more than one or two more winters. Ive checked consignment, no long coats at all right now, will check outlets too.<br /> And yes kkards, definitely would prefer ethical down. I dont want any birds or other critters harmed in the process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1984791 Fri, 21 Dec 2018 07:49:17 +0000 Gigi 1984791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with&nbsp;<b>Suz.&nbsp;</b>I think it's going to be really difficult to get all those boxes checked for less than $150. I think that it's worth spending a bit more to get what you want, because a good puffer can last for a long time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1984703 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 19:09:35 +0000 kkards 1984703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>these are both in your price range...but you may not like the fake fur on the cole haan and not sure if the tina turk is as fittied as you were looking for </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1984677 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:24:36 +0000 Suz 1984677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's going to be tough to get what you want at that price point unless you wait for Boxing Day sales or go the ebay or consignment route. I would definitely look at the usual suspects (Eddie Bauer, Land's End, etc.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1984675 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:17:29 +0000 LaPed 1984675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Patagonia "Down With It" parka comes in burgundy this year. Self-colour hardware. It is quite warm and fairly water resistant (if it's warm enough to be raining instead of snowing, I'm probably not wearing a knee-length down puffer!). Nicely tailored; nips in at the waist but I can still fit a cardi or hoodie underneath. I have a navy one from a couple years ago and it is holding up well. My most reached-for winter coat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1984667 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:11:00 +0000 Ginger 1984667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I concur with the Eddie Bauer recommendation. I've owned two and now my mother has gotten one as well. They do sales as well.

Last year, I ended up getting J Crew's Mixed-media Burbridge parka. It doesn't really meet your all requests, but is the warmest coat I've ever worn. Combined with an old pair of Sorel Manitous, I stay toasty warm. Suggested retail was $695. I believe that I paid $125 for a brand new one on ebay and could not be happier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1984568 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 04:13:32 +0000 JAileen 1984568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was given a down coat for Christmas from Eddie Bauer last year. They had a big sale before Christmas, and it was quite reasonable. I haven’t been in below 0F temps, though, but it *seems* warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/warm-coat-hunting#post-1984563 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 04:00:14 +0000 Anonymous 1984563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There should be some good sales in January.
