Eddie Bauer is famous for his high quality and warm parkas. This is no exception, love the insulated hood and down padding. I would rate this as a medium warm coat, fairly light weight and not very puffy. A major downside is the frustrating zipper, after I smeared it with silicone it took 10 minutes to get working. For a parka of such high quality this is absolutely disappointing. 5 stars for the jacket, 0 stars for the zipper.
