Barbour parkas- arctic, peninsula, storm or bowfell?

Have been looking at these as I am cold already and hear the freeze is imminent! Has anyone got one if so which one? I like the look of the storm one but not sure can be assed with wax finish. The bowfell isn't quite as nice as others. Peninsula looks longer? Maybe arctic is the one as should be warm!

I got the arctic last year and wore it loads. Is very cosy and still looks immaculate.

Thanku Mrs CB . So it is warm and I suppose as stylish as these sort of coats can be?! Which colour did you go for? I like the olive but have something similar already so I guess black? The stone is too light.

I got black although did like the olive a lot too. You know its not as flattering/stylish as a smart wool coat but its warm and for 3 months of the year its the coat I wore pretty much everyday.

You are convincing me! Size wise how do they come up. I am an 8-10 normally but my Barbour international jacket is a 10 ? Need room for those other layers I guess!

I've got the Barbour Storm and I really like it. I've got the olive, in a size 10. It's warm and also quite fitted. I like the look of the Arctic, though, might get myself one of those next year....
