A third commented : "This jacket is so warm! It has lovely long sleeves which amply cover the wrists, and is a good length to keep you warm."
There has been minimal criticism of the product, but some customers complained about about the size of the hood: "I worn it for four hours stood outside on a cold winter day and felt comfortably warm. However, the hood feels very large even after using the adjustment at the back."
