Which is better for skiing?

The Bevel. It has taped seams, a DWR coating, a snow skirt and thumbhole cuffs. The Lane Bryant puffer has none of those snow-specific features.

The Bevel states medium weight insulation built for cold weather. The Lane Bryant listing gives no fill or warmth rating, so it is the safer bet for deep cold.

Is the Bevel worth about $8 more?

Yes if you spend time in snow. At $87.94 at Walmart versus $80.00 at Poshmark as of November 3, the extra buys real weather protection.

Does the Lane Bryant coat come in my size?

It runs from sizes 10 to 40, wider than the Bevel's 1X to 3X. Check the specific listing's measurements, since Poshmark items are often single sizes.

How do the lengths compare?

Almost the same. The Bevel is 31.5 inches, or 32 inches in 3X. The Lane Bryant front length is 32 inches but is listed as a short length.

Can I wash either coat?

The Lane Bryant is spot clean only. The Bevel gives no care instructions, so follow the tag on the jacket you receive.
