Columbia Men's Whirlibird Parka

I bought this for my husband. We recently moved from Florida to a colder climate. He had no jacket at all. He is 6'5 and to find even clothes for him let alone a jacket can be a chore. I found this jacket and we ordered it with our fingers crossed. It fit perfectly and keeps him warm. He loves it. I would definitely buy Columbia again.

i am very happy about my purchase so far,
good quality parka, fast shiping, so far so good

Really the title says it all. I selected this coat because it was attractive and made by a major brand. Really I figured I couldn't go wrong. Unfortunately, while the coat is attractive, it doesn't keep me warm. I have a small fleece jacket that easily keeps me warmer than this, even though it was intended to be little more than a windbreaker.

Also as a side note, today I cinched the hood for the second time only to find that one of the cinch cords was almost torn from it fastener. I did not pull it hard.

As a summary, this coat would be great for 30 - 40 degree weather. Doesn't do a thing for anything below 30.
