OrolayWomen's Thickened Down Jacket Winter Warm Down CoatGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

I did not go down in size as recommended by other reviewers. I am so glad I went with my normal size which is a size 14. It fits perfect in the arms chest and shoulders. It is a little bit looser towards the bottom but there is a inside cinch string to make it a little snugger in the waist. I am 5‘6“ and I weigh approximately 170. I like to put a sweatshirt underneath once in a while and the jacket fit me perfect! The quality and warmth of this jacket is very good quality. I got the green which is more of a a army green and I love it! I am not crazy about the fake fur around the hood so I did take that off. The hood is big and it comes with drawl strings to adjust it around your head. The front zipper zips all the way up to your chin and I do not need to use a scarf or a hat because the hood is so comfortable and cozy with drawstrings. Another reason I am glad I did not downsize is the sleeve lengths are perfect on me now and I would not want them shorter.

This jacket is very warm and cozy. I like the two-way zipper and all the pockets. It does seem to run on the small side, especially in the upper arms.

43° in Lake Tahoe:Light rainI was comfortable and if I moved around a bit, I got pretty warm.Hood stays put and works well, even with a top knot.Front hand pockets were good but would be better if they were at a more natural angle rather than opening straight up.53° but feels like 49° in Dublin Ireland.Intermittently windy and light rain.The front pockets continue to be an irritation. They simply are not a natural way to tuck your hands in for a little extra warmth or comfort.The inside "phone pocket" is just a bit too narrow that you need both hands to manipulate your phone into place, so kind of useless. The larger inside pocket, on the bottom is handy to keep your valuables safe. It is large enough for a passport with a cover if necessary. The upper outer zip pockets fit my small, flip wallet or my phone.Note on all the pockets, don't overload them with gear and items if you want to maintain a slimmer silhouette.Note on the waist shaping elastic cords. They cause the bottom to bunch and bulk in somewhat unflattering ways. I prefer to leave them uncinched. However, in the wind, I cinched them tight to keep the wind from flowing through my hood and down the bottom and vice versa.Note on the zipper. It is a good sturdy zipper but as a right handed person, the zipper feels "backwards" to me. The zipper comes up plenty high so you don't necessarily need a scarf but I wore one when not wearing the hood up. The inside was comfortable and did not irritate my chin or face at all.The hood performed really well, it stayed where I placed it and kept the rain off my face. I removed the fur since I knew it would rain and didn't want to look like a drowned animal.43° Ireland coast, Cliffs at the Moher:Moderate to heavy rain and wind at 16 mph gusting up to 40 mph. Along with the coat I wore an insulated base layer shirt and tights (also found on Amazon for $20), waterproof hiking pants, beanie, gloves, thermal socks (found on Amazon) and rainboots.The hood, completely zipped up, exceeded expectations and I was dry and comfortable. Just be careful when zipping the hood up all the way, I caught my chin a couple times. I recommend looking up towards the sky to complete the full hood zip.I stayed dry, warm and the coat dried quickly.If the coat had mittens with the same material and had naturally angled front pockets, it would be perfect!For the price, this is an excellent coat and I would buy it again. For those of you looking to find an alternative to that expensive bird brand, this is as good as it will get. You can also look up on YouTube how to DIY some shoulder straps if you want.If I head to the snow, I will update.

I was looking for a longer coat to cover my cheeks during the winter, had a decent hood, and one that was warm without being too bulky. This coat checks all the boxes and then some! I am tall, 5'7" with long arms and torso and broad shoulders, I went with the medium. I worried that it would be too big and bulky on me but it surprisingly fits me well. Plenty of room in the shoulders, sleeves hit me just right and I have room to wear layers if need be. Oh and I love the front pockets, they open on the top and are big and roomy for gloves, phone and keys...I always worry about the slit pockets because they are never deep enough and my phone always falls out. The bottom-front hem hits me just above the knees and that back hem hits right above the back of the knee. If you are on the shorter side, this coat might be a little long on you. I've only been able to wear this two times since I bought it, but both times it kept me very warm. All in all, a great buy, the fabric and stitching look/feel top quality!

This is my second one! First one is green different style. Both are incredibly warm and well made-Cute to boot!!!

This jacket is for very cold weather as it is super thick and heavy. Definitely kept me warm. Didn’t like the tight sleeves.

I just received the Orolay Down Jacket, and it appears to be a great winter coat--looks very well made and stylish, esp the rounded hemline. The fabric is very sturdy, maybe a little stiff, and the zipper was a bit hesitant. I might have to soap it up. Fair price too. Update: Two days after receiving coat, I removed fur from hood and washed this 'down' coat in warm water and dried it on high heat setting--because every new item that touches one's skin should be washed before using, of course. The problem is that I somehow forgot it was down-filled because I had been looking exclusively at polyester-filled, washable quilted coats. While it was drying, I remembered that I'd made an exception and decided to buy this coat because I so liked the style and the length. How relieved I was to take it from the dryer looking like it did when I put it in the washer! Washing directions aren't included in the description, but there is a note indicating buyers should refer to the tag inside re. cleaning. All that said, it looks great and fits better because it's just a tad smaller!

Was totally blown away by the quality of this jacket! Was expecting a cheap, semi-warm shell that wouldn’t last more than a few months. I could not believe the QUALITY of FABRIC, CONSTRUCTION AND GENEROUS GENUINE DOWN FILLING! This manufacturer is amazing! This coat is better than Eddie B and LL B! After opening the amazon box and putting it on, I WOULD HAVE PAID TWICE the price for this jacket! SURE TO LAST and keep you warm for YEARS! Highly recommend this BRAND!
