Thanks, everyone.
There are a lot of things I hadn’t considered, like the fact that the length of the g-star might actually be *too* long. I am 5’5” and the g-star looks long in the tall models.
I hadn’t considered two-way zips and snaps to do a quick do-up.
I don’t do a lot of intense walking, but do walk every day. I could see stride restriction being an issue. Taking smaller steps would annoy the heck out of me. I don’t stand around much in the cold (but I can see how a long puffer would be awesome if I did!).
I definitely like short puffers too, and always feel so free when I wear my daughter’s. I actually don’t have a thick short puffer (only thin ones) and am thinking that this would be a good addition (in addition to a longer one).
I don’t know if you can tell, but I am pretty much paralyzed by indecision. This is always the case when I online shop for clothes, and is why I don’t do it much anymore. (In-person shopping works way better for me.)
I’m now scouting out thigh/knee length puffers!
Even though it will probably take me another week or two to make the decision, I am grateful for your help in clarifying my thoughts on what I actually want and need in a winter coat. Thank you!
