Who makes the warmest winter coats?

[Ricekrispie22]

Looking for a REALLY warm coat. Ideally slight stylish but happy to sacrifice that for the sake of warmth. It does need to be hip length, not long line though.

Didriksons?

I love my Jack Wolfskin. Warm, waterproof and wind proof.

I got a nice cheaper one from SuperDry. Very good (I bought a size too small for my NorthFace one stupid stupid stupid! )

Btw, the NF one was activewear but more stylish, black. The SD one was more young, red because why not for a year! (Still great! And I love it!)

The warmest coat I've ever had is from Superdry, it's like wearing a sleeping bag

I think it looks (a bit) more stylish than an average parka or puffer jacket because it nips in a bit at the waist and sits just nicely on the bum instead of flapping around my thighs.

Jack Wolfskin - really amazing quality.

Seasalt - my dog walking coat is equally brilliant.

I am an absolute perisher and live in my warm coats from now til April ...almost cant wait to pull them out again.

I have a Vila Clothing one- relatively cheap and cheerful. Long parka style, zip up, roomy, pull cord waist. Hood. Roomy pockets.
Perfect for sitting in a cold car, waiting to collect children from (....insert activity of choice). Not particularly stylish, but adequate to pop into a shop for milk etc.

Last winter, I spent a ridiculous amount of money on a North Face Arctic parka, with an extravagant hood.
Was it ever worth it last year...oh, yes.

Stylish- tick
Suitable for work- tick
Sit outdoors for coffee- tick
I thought I'd keep it for "good wear"... I didn't, twas too cosy.

My warmest coat is from Landsend! I'm not usually a fan of their stuff, but I saw a duvet coat which is ankle length last winter and it is so, so warm.

I got one from Hobbs. It is so warm, but not bulky.

Get a coat from a ski brand. Pricey but worth it if warmth is the goal.

NF Parka. But they are warm I. E. May be too warm for the UK, tbh.

Super dry or TOG24. I’ve got one of each and the coldness literally canny penetrate them. I love them.

Both mine have microfibre in them, I think that’s what makes them warm

Didriksons

Superdry here too. Look a lot like canada goose but without the real fur or the ridiculous price tag.

The trouble is it depends what you're used to. Years ago when I bought a wool peacoat from J Crew it was noticeably the warmest coat I'd ever had - I'd only owned high street coats before. Now I'd probably need to try a much more expensive brand to get the same feeling of "wow that's so warm". So I'd say just spend as much as you can on a coat that you like - probably a down puffer style if you like the look of those. A Superdry coat is definitely not going to be as warm as Canada Goose.

Canada Goose - but there are questions about how ethical they are.

I’ve had mine a few years now (DH too). We live in a Swiss ski resort and it was -17C last winter. Never been cold in that coat. If it’s higher than around 2C outside then I’m too hot in it!

I’ve been wearing my superdry coat for 3 or more years, cost me around £100 (which is a lot for me), I walk a lot and it’s really warm.

Waterproof or not? If so seriously waterproof?

Please don’t buy Canada Goose coats. What they do to the animals is absolutely horrendous.

Watching this with interest. Need a new coat this winter to keep me warm and dry while watching kids play football and rugby at a weekend. Debating whether it's possible to get a coat that is both warm and waterproof or if I need 2 depending on the weather.

Canada Goose is a monstrously cruel brand. It speaks volumes about those who wear them.

Waterproof or not? If so seriously waterproof?

I have the longer version and would say it’s water resistant. I haven’t tried it in a downpour

I’ve always found Lands End really good. And they have good sales.
