I wanted a parka with a zip-out fleece liner to replace a similar jacket, and that's exactly what I got. The cuffs run a bit narrow, so it's not possible to pull my bulky gloves inside the sleeves, for instance. But otherwise it fits well.It's got a double-zipper so you can unzip from the bottom for sitting (or reaching my shirt pockets), and those things that look like vent flaps below the shoulder are actually zippered pockets (in addition to the normal hand pockets). There's a short vertical zipper by the top of the main zipper that you'd think might lead to a pocket, but it has no actual pocket inside it. Great for hiding umbrellas, perhaps less so for small notebooks... I'm American, so the zipper is backwards, but I'll survive.It's warm, apparently water repellent, and handles the New England snow nicely. I'd buy it again, but I doubt it'll be in stock in ten years when this one finally dies.
