How warm is the Apres Arson II for deep winter?

It combines down fill with a thermal-reflective lining and a windproof shell, so it handles freezing city winters well. It is not a mountaineering parka, but for commuting and everyday outdoor use it is very warm.

Does it run true to size?

Reviewers commonly say it runs large. Many size down one from their usual Columbia size, especially if they want a closer fit under the belt.

Is it actually waterproof?

The laminated shell is waterproof and windproof, and owners report staying dry in rain and wet snow. Seams and the down fill still need care in sustained heavy rain.

What is the thermal-reflective lining?

It is a breathable lining that reflects body heat back toward you, adding warmth without extra bulk. It works alongside the down rather than replacing it.

What features come with the hood and cuffs?

The hood has a faux-fur trim, and the cuffs have thumbholes to seal out drafts. There is also an interior security pocket and a belt at the waist.

How does it compare with a shorter down jacket?

The long cut covers hips and thighs, which adds warmth and wind protection over a hip-length puffer. The trade-off is more weight and bulk.
