Outdoor VenturesWomen's Maryan Hooded Ultra Lightweight Warm Thermolite Long Puffer Coat

The media could not be loaded.  First, this is a beautiful jacket. I have the longer one though I had so much trouble deciding between the two, I may buy the shorter one in a different color if this proves to be warm enough for Michigan winters. The herringbone pattern of the puffs seems to be unique to this coat at this time and is one of the most flattering "v shaped" silhouettes one could wish for - especially in a winter coat. A puffer, no less! I do not like the look of most puffer jackets. The puffs all go straight across which makes your body look wider. Not this coat~! The gorgeous cascading v cuts your figure even if you aren't "cut". My body shape in this coat resembles (a much larger) Marilyn Monroe hourglass shape. I'm still losing weight (fasting and keto) and will probably buy smaller sizes if they keep selling these.Sizing: Amazon suggested a 3x for me, which is not available and would have been too large. My current measurements are 48"-44"-50" and the seller recommended which fits perfectly:Size: XX-Large | Color: （runs Large. Order Size Down) Ink Blue(shiny)-avg.36" Long LengthThe sleeves are very, very long. I have shorter arms and need blocks in yoga for some poses, too, though. I also don't always wear gloves, so really appreciate the longer sleeves. They can be pushed up a bit a la '80's or even rolled up.The hood is delightful. It truly blocks the wind and I was able to pull it over my ears and go without my constant ear muffs. Huge plus! It also is very light and doesn't get behind your neck or bother you when it's down.Quality on this is outstanding. This is one of the best zippers I've seen on a coat. It has no hanging threads or threats of coming apart any time soon! Again, the style is just fantastic, too! It would be nice if the pockets were fully lined for they are a bit rough on one side, but that's nitpicking! Compare the price of this coat to others in its class with far inferior styling and you'll have it in your cart before you know it!I will update this to address warmth as the season changes. I know people always say that and don't, but I do. lol Hope this helps!Lightweight. Extremely lightweight. I'm kind of skeptical that it will keep me warm during a Michigan winter, but like a review from Minnesota, we shall see and even if it's only for Fall and Spring, it's a beautiful jacket. I will not return it. I am hoping the technology mentioned works. I use an NIR light therapy and it's magical, so I am very hopeful.Update: this cost has been surprisingly warm during 20 below zero 50 mph winds. I won’t say it encouraged me to camp in the backyard, but going from house to car and running my dog in the backyard was doable! Whatever this technology is, it’s amazing because you can wear this inside the store and also not get hot. I don’t know if it’s warm enough to walk to school, etc outside longer than like 10-15 minutes, but it’s performing better than I expected.

Light weight and warm. Run large in body of coat, but sleeves are way too tight on arms. Too narrow.Unable to get the X-Large I originally ordered. Three different dates of arrival from April 8th to Mune 3rd

The coat is nice for the price. But I suspect one I was sent had been worn. I ordered two, and one arrived neatly in its own box with the manufacturer name on it. Obviously made just for the coat. That coat was too large, though, so I ordered a size down. It didn’t arrive in a box at all-instead in a plastic bag. It smelled of someone’s perfume very strongly. I had it since late November and today decided to keep it and wash it. It still had the perfume smell. And my dog was super interested in the coat as if another animal had been around the coat. When I decided to keep it and wash it, I looked for tags to remove and found none. Maybe I lost them. Maybe it didn’t have tags. I probably should have returned it.

I had doubts if synthetic insulation would be as warm. This was the fastest to get as replacement coat. I didn’t want to spend too much and this was reduced price. I got a larger size to be able to layer up underneath. It is not exactly a shapely silhouette. The fabric seems sturdy but haven’t been out in snow yet to see if anything seeps through. I am pleasantly surprised how warm this is for 30-45F degree weather. I usually get the brand name performance wear and I hope this coat will last as long.

Love how light weight the coat is but disappointed for what I paid when it came to the cheep zipper

I bought the long and short version last year and the size was perfect. I ordered a different color in both the long and short version. The first new order was too small body wise. It was so tight I ordered the xl. That is too big. I'm disappointed because I love the short and long coat.

First of all, if you are going to write a review, please don't just use the words "nice, like it, for a friend or just okay." Those words mean nothing. I am blind, so I highly depend on these reviews, so please be descriptive.I really like this coat! I am always hot so I didn't want a huge many layer coat. This coat is very warm and yet very light weight!! It is also very flattering. It drapes nicely at the chest, then kind of tucks in at the middle (but not in a bad way or not tight) just hugs/tucks a bit at the waste. I am 5:6, 155 lbs and a 36 C and the large fits perfect! It comes down so it is about 4 inches above my knees, hides my belly and flares out at the bottom. I highly recommend this jacket, very flattering and very thin but warm!

Because this jacket is very light weight it is not the warmest. However, it is perfect for that in-between weather in Wisconsin.
