I just bought the down for it all men’s jacket in Size M yesterday for myself and i did try on the women’s one but it really was tight around my stomach area and chest and I like a loose fit to put a shirt on underneath but I can’t help but like feel like I just don’t look like the models wearing the women’s down for it all jacket and so I went for the men’s and It’s comfier, has a double zipper! I started looking at the men’s clothes and some of the stuff looks comfier so does anyone else by stuff from the men’s? Like I hate a tight fitting shirt around my chest / armpits (love a loose baggy tee) but all the women’s ones seem to be tighter (minus all yours tee, I know that).

    Hi neighbour! I lived in Niagara for 3 years! I was up in St.Catharines! The wind off the falls is no joke 😭😭

    I’m perpetually cold, but I can overheat easily. I’m also that looney toon walking around in -15 with my coat open and a hoodie 😂

    I had an older long lulu coat and hated it. The zipper stuck constantly (and is now kind of broken? It’s hard to explain), and it was just a pain to wear because it had only 2 pockets. I might get a super puff this year. I just picked up a men’s parka from my work for my heavy coat!

      Oh ya I live in st kits hahah all my life. Did my undergrad at brock! Niagara on the lake and the falls can be WINDY but tbh I always feel like it’s windier in Toronto? But that’s cuz I’m usually around the harbour front or at Budweiser stage. Also yes I am also that person that it could be windy af and I’ll still have my coat undone and a hoodie as well. I also eat ice cream in that weather too outside haha. I had a rain coat from a while ago and it also got stuck and actuallly the hook for u to be able to hang ur coat up also ripped on it. But im actually Impressed w the mens down for it all jacket. But mainly cuz I had a gift card and then my mom (bless her soul) paid for the rest of it so it was 23$ after tax haha otherwise I usually get my coats from Patagonia

        Yes lake effect! Where I am it’s not as bad. I got my puffer with a bunch of gift cards for returns I did. I paid nothing! It was great.

        The bulk of my coats (now) are L.L. Bean, since I work there. Otherwise I own stuff from multiple outdoor brands. I love Patagucci for the fleece! I own multiple synchilla fleece and love them all.
