Columbia Men's Whirlibird Parka

I am a plus size so it's hard to find clothes in my size but this jacket fits just right. I bought it on September 30th and it came by October 3rd. There were no design flaws either. I was hesitant to buy online because you never know if something is going to fit right. But I was able to wear the parka with a sweatshirt on and still had room.

The jacket itself is very nice. I bought the black one so it looks very sleek. I've never seen so many pockets in my life. But they're all easily accessible. The hood is nice though not that thick. I also liked the 3-in-1 option.

I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a warm winter coat that is torso length.

This Parka is very nice. It is layered and keeps the wearer warm yet not to the point of sweating. The material is nice to the touch and the windbreaker properties come in handy during a brutal midwest winter. This is the perfect coat, hands down. Ive never owned a Columbia before but I can honestly say they make fine coats that not only get the job done but do it with style.

The fit and texture of this jacket were exactly what I expected from Columbia. The fit is reasonably good, but I could do without the velcro along the front zipper seam. It's certainly warm, though it lacks some of the internal pockets for cell phone etc. which I expected it would have. The jacket 'type' falls between heavy parka and light windbreaker. Sleeve length was true to the mfg. product description. Overall I am very pleased with this coat, but probably still need something a little heavier to combat the brutal winter winds.
