Is this parka warm enough for deep winter?

It is a padded quilted coat, so it handles typical cold, wet city winters with a sweater underneath. In hard freezes or long outdoor stretches, a down coat or an extra insulating layer will be warmer.

Is it actually waterproof?

The shell is listed as waterproof, which suits rain, sleet and snow. Seams and the zip are the usual weak points on quilted coats, so heavy downpours may still get through over time.

How does the length fit?

It is an extra-long parka, so it falls well past the hip toward the knee. That coverage is the point, but it shortens your stride and adds weight compared with a hip-length puffer.

What sizes are available?

It comes in XS through XXL. The long, quilted cut runs roomy, so if you plan to layer thick sweaters, your usual size should work.

No hood is listed. Plan on a hat, scarf or separate hood for head and neck coverage in wind and rain.

Is it machine washable?

The polyester shell and lining are generally machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle. Check the care label inside the coat before washing, and tumble low or hang to dry.
