This is a really great coat. I love that it has the vest that can be zipped in for the coldest days or playing in the snow, but left off during more moderate days and used alone in the spring / fall. The color and style are great, and there are a ton of little details that make this a great purchase. The lower front pockets zip, so no losing mittens, and there are two upper pockets with velcro. The hood is removable. The cuffs are elastic with an additional velcro tab to fasten them more securely when desired. There's even a reflective strip across the back of the hood. So many thoughtful little details, versatility and great style - not what I expected in my price range!
