ALPINE NORTH Glacier Women’s Vegan Down Winter Coat with Faux Fur Hood - Parka Jacket for Women

Warmth/waterproof This jacket was actually really warm. I was snowboarding in 20 degree weather and I was actually hot. I also wore it around and it kept me extremely hot. The jacket was also waterproof. I was snowboarding in the snow and fell a couple of times and at no point did the jacket get wet. Color The jacket I got was the white one. It’s actually a very bright white color. It is also designed for high visability so I was actually kind of easy to spot even in low visability. Utility The jacket had a ton of really deep big pockets. It made carrying things around a lot easier. The only downside was that the “phone” pocket (located on the inside of the jacket near the breast area) is actually really small and didn’t even come close to fitting my iPhone 8. It does have a slightly bigger pocket underneath that pocket but if you’re snowboarding or skiing your phone would be in an uncomfortable spot as it pokes you. This isn’t a big deal but it was a little annoying. Material/quality The jacket is made from really nice warm materials. It is a bit thicker than traditional snowboarding jackets but it was still really high quality. The stitching was really well done as well. The fur is also really nicely made. It got wet a couple of times and it always dried nicely and has not gotten matted and gross like most other fux fur. Overall I would totally recommend this jacket. I used it around town as well as snowboarding and it did a great job at keeping me warm and dry. It’s a nice fitting jacket and looks actually quite stylish and it’s a thicker coat. The only downside was the phone pocket but it’s just a minor inconvenience.

This is a very well made, high quality coat. I would say it fit about to size maybe slightly smaller than expected but not necessarily to increase your size. I like that the hood was detachable and still left a collar to zip up around your neck. Cuffs in the sleeves to help keep snow out of your jacket. A thoughtful thumbhole in the cuff if needed for even more added stability. It is not as bulky as the popular puffer coats but it is fairly heavy and does have some bulk so for those looking for a light lighter midweight winter jacket this may not suit your purpose although it is not marshmallow man bulk. It had a lot of extras like interior pockets the thumb hole and other thoughtful things that you wouldn't think you needed until you have them. It's an attractive well-made very warm coat. I would recommend it for those who are active outdoors and in need of a warm coat.

I love this coat. Super warm. Comfortable.

This coat arrived just in time for the big storm. I really like how warm it is and I love the color (I got the red). The hood is nice and stays up, but the fur fringe can end up blocking a bit of vision. The coat is a great length, I wore it around Bryant park and the cold wind definitely would have frozen my cheeks if I hadn't worn this coat. The sleeve length is perfect and I really like that it is roomy enough for a thick underlayer to be worn on the coldest days, hasn't happened yet, but winter isn't over yet. The zipper is heavy duty and sturdy and so far, has never faltered or caught on my other clothing. My only complaint is with the way the hood is attached to the coat. It is attached with buttons! One of the buttons has already come off. The buttons are small (like the kind you find on a button up blouse) and they have just two holes, which means this one will not be the first to fall off. I can sew the button back on, that isn't the problem, it's just weird that they chose buttons for the hood instead of heavy snaps. Now I have to sew this button back on and I will strengthen the stitches on the other buttons as well because I am hoping this coat will last me for several more winters.

I absolutely LOVE my new jacket!! For reference I am: 5'8 1/2" 300 lbs Pear Shaped Hip: 60" Waist: 46" I ordered a size 4X (which is roomy for layers) in the Grape color. (I honestly believe I could have ordered the 3X and it would have fit perfect) Here's a little backstory...We moved to Bahrain 2 1/2 years ago and left all of our winter clothes in storage back in the states because who needs winter clothes in 120 degree heat?? Well, we planned a trip to Germany for Christmas this year and guess what? WE NEED WINTER CLOTHES!! I am plus size woman and have had to order all of my clothes online while living here. (This stresses me out because I am so hard to fit!) I am pear shaped, I carry my weight in my butt, hips, thighs, but also my arms...I usually need the waist of a 22 and the legs of a 24/26 depending on the cut...so lets just say online clothes shopping/trying to determine my size from reviews is EXHAUSTING! I went round and round for months researching winter coats for myself and wondering "would they fit??" We were getting down to the wire and I needed to make a decision. I fell in love with this coat online but desperately wanted it in black but they were sold out in my size :( so I kept shopping around but found myself always coming back to this coat. I bit the bullet and ordered the coat...praying it was true to the color on the computer screen (wine) and not bright purple. The coat arrived on time and when I pulled it out I was instantly in love! The color was even prettier in person!! It's a beautiful deep wine color! I love that there is small high-vis piping on some of the seams that will definitely come in handy at night wearing a dark coat. I love the color of the fur trim (tan), the fur is big and fluffy just what I wanted. There is a bungee around the hood to pull it tighter to your face, but I do wish there was also an adjustment on the back of the hood. The hood is rather large and could definitely use that extra adjustable feature. Also, for me I wish there was one more snap or interior bungees on the sides to cinch in more but I know that I have this problem with just about every top. The jacket is super warm and has tons of pockets! I honestly don't know if I will need my "extra layers" I purchased to keep me warm. All in all I am super happy with my purchase and would absolutely order this jacket again! I hope this helps :)

This is a great coat. I bought an x-large thinking there would be room for a sweater not realizing that the coat would be warm enough without an extra layer. The hood is held on by a zipper and can be removed. The sleeves can be kept in place and not ride up by a thumb slit in the cuff. This is a vegan coat and is truly warm and light to wear. I would recommend this and find it is as warm as the goose down coat I wore before.

I have never bought a coat without trying it on , so this was very risky for me to spend this kind of money without seeing it first. I was so happy when I opened the package and put it on. It fit exactly as the ad said it would. I am an XL and this coat still gives ne room to put on a heavy sweater and not feel like it’s too tight. The sleeve length is perfect and it is very warm. I wore it while we had a couple of weeks of -35 weather. I fed horses every day and was very comfortable. The hood is nice and big and even has a drawstring to tighten it up around the face in a blizzard. I like that the collar has fleece on the inside so when you zipper it all the way up it’s soft and warm against the face. It also has a nice little waist adjustment on the side on the outside that allows you to bring in the waist a couple of inches if you want that trimmer silhouette. The only thing that I wish is that it had a real fur trim. Faux fur is ratty and so not high end. All faux fur is made from petroleum products and I would much rather have a trim that is organic. It would look and feel much nicer and be actually being warmer as that what fur does. Other than that I am very happy with this product and am impressed with the quality that Alpine North puts into this product as well as the sizing that is so accurate.

Très beau manteau, confortable, il me fait super bien (moi qui a du poids en trop). Il aurait pu être plus serré, l’air passe dessous. Il est chaud jusqu’à - 14 degrés Celsius. Plus froid que ça, il fait froid, mais c’est peut-être à cause qu’il n’est pas assez serré. Il a une belle longueur, pas trop long ( je mesure 5 pieds 6), le manteau fini sous les fesses. Il cache l’entièreté des fesses. Pour le froid, mettre une veste ou chandail chaud, ça règle le problème. Bon achat, je l’aime beaucoup.

Absolutely amazing coat. It's been great for winter so far. I barely notice the wind and cold, even in -23.

This is such an amazing jacket! It is bar-none the warmest one that I have ever owned. I only need one layer of clothes underneath it, where my past jackets have needed several layers to keep me warm. The fit is great, with long sleeves. The high neck has a soft lining, and snaps up comfortably, so that a scarf is not really needed. The main pockets are very large. The hood is simply fabulous! It is very large with alot of long fake fur. My head keeps warm even without a hat. The hood is so large that it almost covers my entire face if I pull it forward. I am so happy with my purchase! Way to go Apine North...you nailed it! 👍
