Review on Waterproof Parka Puffer Coat For Women - BGSD Cherie (Available In Regular And Plus Sizes) by Scott Kulothungan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great coat - if you're sitting absolutely still.

The coat fits well, has very flattering lines, and is very warm, however the material & workmanship is sub-par. Right out of the box the elastic used to tighten the hood was broken, but since it was freezing outside, I decided to live with it. The second day I wore the coat the button flap got caught in the zipper, and despite the gentlest attempt to free it, the fabric ripped like tissue paper. I sewed the small tear together and decided to ignore it since the repair wasn't visible once the coat was on. The fifth day I wore it, I reached a hand in to retrieve my keys from the tight side pocket, which promptly ripped open at the zippered closure, scattering down and stuffing everywhere. So if you rarely move and don't interact with the real world, the coat is a stylish option for you.however if you actually plan to wear this garment outside where it might encounter physical objects, look elsewhere for more appropriate protection from the elements.

Pros
  • Roomy but not a tent. Exactly what I needed.
Cons
  • The puffer style might not be suited for women with broad shoulders
