The coat is as advertised

Rating:****
I bought the coat for use only a couple times a year.
For sitting outside, in the wind, 20 degrees (F) at sporting events.
I got tired of getting cold.
After this past weekend I can safely say I'll be cold no more.
In truth the coat is overkill but I don't care.

On a side note, I'm a big person and bought a XXL. Marmot is honest with their sizing.

Dang !!!!

It is a little poofy but by far the warmest jacket I have ever put on, ever. It has been totally waterproof and really to warm for most applications. This by far is a jacket for the extreme.
