Great coat. Can throw a t-shirt on under it and be comfortable when it's 40 degrees or 0 degrees

As someone who fell into the Canada goose trap, be sure you do more homework than I did. I think I bought a parka meant for Antarctica. All I do is swear in it so far 😂.

Fingers crossed this works out well for me in January.

I got a parka from Target 2 years ago from their Goodfellows and Long line I think and it was a steal for 80$ might be worth seeing if they will carry it this year. Very warm and highly recommend

Columbia, REI

Just got a jacket from Askov Finlayson and it’s unbelievably warm - updated from a 10 year old North Face puffer and it was long overdue

Eddie Bauer Superior Down Parka

I use Columbia lhotse. Works fine. Layer up if you need more warmth

Fjallraven

Tbh anything from Costco. I got a Ralph Lauren jacket from macys last Black Friday for about $200 (was normally like $800-900) and it’s down insulated and amazing

Been a fan of North Face

LL Bean Maine Mountain. There’s a spreadsheet out there that compares all the popular parkas across many different price points - the Maine mountain offered fantastic value for how much it cost.

My Superdry keeps me warm just fine

I use a Columbia with omniheat tech.

Light weight and keeps you warm using your body heat.

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
