Karbon Odysseus Full-Length Coat - Waterproof, Insulated (For Men)

If you are a player, coach or parent and spend time on the hill, field hockey pitch or soccer fields this coat is a must. I highly recommend - only downfall to the design is the front zipper is not full length. Additional snaps or Velcro would improve the design.

This is a terrific coat for ski race parents or others who stand on-hill or in the cold for long periods. Both my wife and I have one of these and have found them to be super warm. That being said, I view this jacket as a piece of technical ski gear -- would not think it would be great as a commuter coat. The hood is great for over helmet use - smaller and would not work for that purpose. Am concerned about zipper -- first coat had to be returned because zipper teeth pulled out on first use. Replacement seems much better. My wife has not had any problems.

Wearing to sporting events

I bought two of these coats one for winter wear at my home in Utah and the other for my mountain ski condominium in Sun Valley, Idaho.

This is great for rainy cold days. Obviously, not for summer rain, nor for bitter (below zero) cold. I like the long length to keep my legs dry.
