I don't own a heavy winter coat as I live in an area of the country where temperatures seldom dip below 40F/4C at night. I am about to embark on a trip where the forecast temperate will average -30F/-34C. A heavy winter coat was needed in short order, but as I will rarely use it, I didn't want to spend a significant amount of money on it. But I was having a hard time deciphering which coats might protect me in such extreme cold, so I purchased this coat as well as two others to try on. I am 6'/183 cm tall and weight 195 lbs/88.5 kg. I usually where a Large Tall in tops. Here is my quick analysis after trying each one on inside for five minutes each:JYG Men's Winter Thicken Coat Warm Parka Puffer Jacket with Removable Hood - I followed the sizing chart that indicated I needed an XL. However, I was swimming in it! I reordered a size L. This was by far the softest of the coats I tried on. The sleeves fit me appropriately. It is heavy weight, but after wearing for five minutes inside, the least warm. The heavy weight suggested it would protect against wind. I'm sure it is plenty warm for most cold temperatures in the US, but I need the warmest coat I can get for my budget. The chest pocket was rather shallow. I don't ski so unsure if it would hold a ski ticket, but it would only hold a mobile telephone on the smaller side. The front of the jacket, neck, and hood all close with buttons, which is significantly less convenient that snaps. The hood is definitely oversized. The fake fur lining negatively impacted my ability to see. Though I understand it is removable and would have done so had I kept this coat. There is nothing to secure the waist, so I feared cold air would easily invade my core area. I returned it.FARVALUE Mens Winter Coats Thicken Puffer Jacket Warm Winter Parka Padded Outwear with Hood. A Large fit as expected, and even the sleeves were a good length for me. But the overall length of the coat was the shortest of all three I tried on. I definitely felt it was not long enough and that cold air would easily invade from the waist area. The fact it didn't really have anything on the bottom to secure it, only magnified that concern. It was the lightest of the three coats I tried on, and although not the softest felt I was wearing a cloud. Although this is not down-filled, it certainly felt that way. But the lack of heavy weight also left me concerned it might not be the best in blocking wind. It was toasty warm wearing inside, so if that was the only factor to consider, I would have gambled it would keep me warm. The chest pocket was plenty deep for most mobile telephones. The front, neck, and hood snapped shut, which was convenient. The hood seemed a normal size. But, alas, I also returned this one.GAMYSE Men's Mountain Waterproof Ski Snow Jacket Winter Windproof Rain Jacket. This one fit as expected, with good sleeve length and appropriate waist length. It is heavy, though not quite as heavy and as the JYG coat. It was as warm, if not a tad warmer than the FARVALUE. It has a snap at the bottom that somewhat secures the waist. It gave me the most confidence of these three coats that it would keep cold air out. The front, neck, and hood also snap shut. It covers the neck very well and the hood is an appropriate size. It has a chest pocket that is on the smaller size; my iPhone 11 just fits. So this is the one I am taking to Northern Alaska. I will update my product review on that product page upon my return and real-life testing of how well it performs.
