Great Buy!!

Rating:*****
Great product! I bought this coat a little over a week ago and have already gotten my moneys worth. Yesterday I skied Snowmass, in Colorado, where the temperature was a balmy 40 degrees. The coat kept me cool on the decent and comfortably warm on the chair.

Great coat. Great buy.
