[Help] Warm coat recommendations

[zeetha]

My Barbour coat has disappointingly not lasted too well (holes that needed patching, and 2 zips broken so far) and I'm reluctant to spend money on another one. I feel the cold a lot (damn arthritis) so am after a long coat that will keep out the cold and the wind as much as possible as well as being waterproof for going to football etc.

Anyone happy to recommend their coat?

Thanks NSC!

Norse Project Goretex jobby. It is so warm I have not actually worn it yet

Canada Goose if money is no object.

Unless you're in a climate which is well below freezing a lot of the time, Canada Goose is a bit pointless. People just buy them to "be seen" in a Canada Goose jacket.

It also annoys the animal rights protestors, which I guess is a positive or negative depending on your point-of-view!

You know how to proceed from there.

My bench coat, bought from the club shop about seven years ago is still wearing well and keeping me nice and toasty during cold weather. Only coat #40 odd quid l seem to remember, probably a bit more expensive now, but l think you could do worse.

Depends how much you want to spend, and where you want to wear it I guess.

I just got back from the Amex having bought one of these https://www.seagullsdirect.co.uk/nike-products/nike-training-wear/adult-winter-jacket-18-19

Really warm and yet surprisingly light. Perfect for football although may not be what you are looking for as an everyday coat for work.

Last winter Mrs W brought me a Superdry coat ( I'm not allowed to buy my own clothes ! ) and it's wonderfully warm - not had to wear it this year ...... yet.

Bought Mountain Warehouse "Antartic" down coat half-price this time last year. Best thing I've ever bought, really warm and snug for WSU.

Half price again! You won't be disappointed. Buy me a hot chocolate if you like it!

Yep, that looks like the modern equivalent of mine.

North Face, light and warm.

Parkas are the in thing apparently. I'm too tight to stretch to Canada Goose but my Lyle and Scott one is warm and certainly kept the rain out against Leicester where I was right at the front of the WSL for an hour taking photos of my son who was a mascot. Even some discounts on some sizes

Is that fleecy hood detachable?

Is this “age appropriate” for you?

Surely that's completely subjective?

If someone feels the cold and likes being really hot all the time then they might as well get the warmest coat possible

And you can get mistaken for Liam Gallagher. Win win!

My advice is either buy a coat that is 100% wool or a coat that has a large percentage of duck down. M & S sell good quality coats at reasonable prices for the quality.
