“Great Coat for Ski Race Parent”

“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.”
