I absolutely LOVE this parka!!
My parka arrived just in time for the cold, wet spring weather to hit and I couldn't love it more. As soon as I unpacked it I went straight out in a cold, steady rain to walk my dogs and was totally dry and cozy. The hood on this parka is big and deep, without being a so large you have to fuss with it all the time. With the neck zipped all the way up, no cold or rain gets in. I agree with some other reviewers and wish the side pockets were a little bigger - but the quality of this parka is so beautiful and that doesn't bother me enough to worry about. The sleeves are long, but roll up really nicely and the reflective touches at the wrist are a nice touch. As well, the sleeves are narrow enough at the wrist that if I lift a boat or board up over my head the water won't all run down into my armpits.
I'm 5'6" about 150 lbs. and I trusted the sizer on the website and ordered a small. It fits nicely, but still has room for a sweater underneath if I wanted one - but I can't see needing one - this parka is seriously cozy.
Lastly, the colour is called Rich Burgundy - but it's actually an absolutely gorgeous jewel purple. SO nice!
Yes, this parka is a bit of an investment, but it's well worth every penny!
