I bought a cold weather coat about 7 years ago. It doesn't get used much, because it is too warm and doesn't let any wind in. I have worn it snowmobiling, riding 4 wheelers at 9000 feet in elevation in montana, wet apple cups in pullman, and hunting vary rarely. It has to be pretty nasty to get that one out. However it was one of the best purchases I have ever made for the money. It has held up quite well over the years in the types of conditions that it has been worn.
