I would recommend this if you're looking for a good down coat. It's very warm and stylish; however, the overall weight of the jacket/coat makes it feel too cumbersome for me to wear. I suspect it's due to the nylon type of material, which I understand is water repellant. While that is a plus, it's far heavier than my full length down coat. Furthermore, I found the size to be rather snug at an XL. I usually wear a large, but sizing chart indicated an XL. Unfortunately, I am returning the item.
