66° North Esja Insulated Parka Jacket - Waterproof (For Men)

This is a great coat. I would not pay the full price for it. This is my first 66 North gear and the coat does live up to the goal of the company. The only drawback is that the zipper jams a little and it takes a while to put on. It is VERY warm, I'm in Alaska, and blocks the wind well, but I wouldn't take it hiking or backpacking (wrong cut). I would wear it for short easy hikes. It breathes well and offers great face protection so you don't need a scarf. The sleeves are long and overall, the coat is easy to operate with gloves on (except the zipper). Nice draw-cords and great pockets. The coat is roomy. It also takes a short time to dry. I love the hood which blocks the wind and cold. Pity the cut isn't good for extreme winter adventure-as it is a too little long, heavy and bulky for extreme winter adventure, but I wouldn't return it. This coat will probably last a couple of years.

First of all, VERY nice looking and stylish. Its very elegant and although the color is a bit different than in the picture but its still very nice. Very lightweight and comfortable. I tested it in like 10 below zero weather with winds of about 30-40 mph and it kept me comfortably warm. The hood is very nice as it averts the wind. Its much better looking than any down filled jacket or the run of the mill brand name jackets available. You have to wait for the price to be right but its worth the cost.

High end outdoor gear at a great price.

I live in northern Maine, purchased jacket to hit trails on foot to walk dog a few miles a day...it's a perfect fit especially if u are taller...I'm 5'8" female & it's hard to find winter jackets that are made long enough in the torso and in the arms. If u are using jacket casually u will want to layer up, however..the arms of the jacket could use a little more stuffing, so I wear double flannel shirts underneath, but other than that...it's the best jacket I've ever owned.

best winter coat i've purchased! very stylish and comfortable.
