Best men's insulated winter coats

Top pick: Fjällräven Nuuk Parka — a proper deep-winter parka: long back, storm-ready waterproof shell and heavy insulation, so it's the one to trust in real cold, wind and wet. It's the bulkiest and priciest of the group.

Who the others suit:

• Patagonia Jackson Glacier — recycled 700-fill down, warm and lighter-feeling for everyday city winters.
• The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse — the classic down puffer; warm, packable, casual rather than weatherproof.
• Columbia Delta Ridge II — medium-warmth 650-fill down, a good lighter layer for milder cold.
• EMS Tech Down Heat Sealed — 700-fill down, thermal-tested, strong value for a down coat.
• CAT Heavy Insulated Parka — budget workwear-style warmth for shoveling and errands.
• Garrick Insulated Jacket — lighter synthetic insulation, best for active use and layering.

Check the temperature rating and whether you need waterproofing before choosing.
