Columbia Women's Lay'D'Down Omni-Heat Plus Size Winter Ski Jacket, Insulated, Hooded

I just love this jacket! It’s super comfortable and warm without being too hot and there’s lots of room in the pockets for my mittens

The jacket is comfortable, warm, and stylish. It fits true to size. Also appears to be well made.

Purchased this fabulous down jacket with lots of practical features. Bought a size larger than my norm to give me lots of layering options. Winters in the Maritimes flip from extreme cold ( -20 C to freezing rain and ice.) This coat has me covered!

I loved the fit and feel of this coat. I ordered it for a ski coat but it showed up too late to make the trip. I am still keeping it because its an excellent coat for cold skiiing and transitions well to casual wear. It is warm but flattering. I loved that this had pit zips for skiing in case you get warm under all the down. Its not a coat I would take for blue bird days or if the snow is somewhat melty or if there was a chance of it getting wet in a drizzle. I am 5'6'' and 230lbs and I got a 2x but I bet I could have fit into a 1x for a slimmer fit. I wish the pit zips had mesh to keep snow out but otherwise I am very happy with the quality of the coat and its feel. It has a high quality zipper ( not a waterproof one however but I wouldn't use this on a wet day anyways). I also can agree with a few other reviewers that claimed the fur was a lower quality and it kind of is. Im glad the hood can be fully removed though.

Beautiful coat. Would be great for cold weather or ski hills but a bit too warm for the "wet" coast of Vancouver.
