Is the Michael Kors bib snorkel parka warm enough for real winter?

Michael Kors rates it to a 20-degree warmth factor, and owners describe it as warm for cold weather. The quilted bib and long softshell body help, but it is a casual coat, not a technical ski jacket.

How does it fit, and should I size down?

It has a regular fit but buyers say it runs large and can feel bulky, so consider sizing down if you want a closer fit. It comes in S, M, L and XL only.

Is the hood removable?

The faux-fur trimmed hood is attached to the stand collar, so it is not removable. The trim is faux fur, not real fur.

You get the parka itself with its attached hood and quilted bib. No separate liner or detachable pieces are included.

Is $138.25 a good price for this parka?

That is the only daily price recorded so far, at $138.25, so there is no recent range to judge it against. Reviewers call it a good value on sale, which suggests waiting for discounts is reasonable.

Can I wear it for skiing?

It is listed for skiing and camping, but the polyester fill and softshell are not waterproof or breathable like technical ski shells. It works better for casual cold-weather wear and travel.
