ConverseMen's Lightweight Stretch Puffer Jacket

A good coat with some drawbacks

Overall, this is a good coat but with some drawbacks. By itself, it keeps me warm until the temperature falls below the mid-forties Fahrenheit. If it's colder than that, I need to supplement the coat with an underjacket. The hood is rather flimsy and does not protect the head against very cold temperatures or against a stiff wind. When the temperature gets cold, I'll put on a balaclava, and together with the hood that seems to do the trick. The coat has an inner zipper and an outer zipper. Not sure if the inner zipper adds anything to the warmth, but be careful not to mix the two zippers, or you'll risk jamming them. I like the simple strings that tie the hood securely to the head, but it's a bit of a pain when the strings get lost in the coat and I need to fish them out. Finally, the bright red color of the coat makes me more visible to traffic at night, a main reason why I bought it. Overall, I consider this coat a good value for my money.
