Jack Wolfskin Women's Selenium Waterproof Winter Coat - Lightweight Windproof Insulated Parka for Hiking, Skiing & Outdoor Adventures

I was very lucky to get this on half price sale with free post to New Zealand, it’s a lovely warm coat. Was confused initially about sizing as the linked size chart has two ‘large’ sizes with different dimensions and two ‘small’ sizes with different dimensions. I found another Jack Wolfskin size charts online that said the ‘M’ is a UK 12-14 (US 8-10)and the Large is a UK16-18 (US 12-14). I ended up buying the Medium and the tag on inside says UK12. It definitely fits more like a UK12 than a UK14. Also I’m considered tall (1.8m, 5ft11”), this coat would also be OK for a shorter women as the waist feels a bit high although not too noticeable. If you’re tall you may find the Berghaus Barkley down coat a better fit as it’s longer.Very nice lightweight parka, very warm without the bulk. Elastic at the wrist so wind doesn’t go up your sleeve and a zip out hood. The navy is a nine alternative to the everyday black. Inside pocket is nice to hold a small card wallet. Deep hand pockets are nicely warm due to the soft fleece lining. Can’t wait to wear this during cold weather outings.Great coat. When I first got it, I thought it would be too lightweight to keep me warm. It's been great for weather from 20-40F. My only wish is that there was elastic by the wrists... they're loose so cold air gets in.This is a lovely jacket, well made and it kept me warm.My old Jack Wolfskin coat needed to be replaced and I am so glad I was able to find a close replacement. Handles the cold beautifully and is very light. I do wish it had both a zipper and buttons on the front but you can’t have everything.Great beautiful, warm jacket. Good wind protection, very comfortable hood. The jacket is very soft, light and fits well. I love this jacket!Love it. Nice and warmAwesomeI am a 1.64m tall person who fits well in UK 10/ EU 38. I bought S and it was a perfect decision. It is not too big and not too tight, thus I can still wear a thick hoodie or jumper underneath :) Moreover, it is super light but yet very warm. I cannot expect more than this. Highly recommended :)Ich war auf der Suche nach einem leichten, aber trotzdem warmen Wintermantel, den ich für ausgedehnte Spaziergänge bei Wind und Wetter nutzen wollte.Erster Eindruck: schicker, gutsitzender, sportlicher, bequemer, wirklich superleichter Daunenmantel. Leider kein sattes schwarz, für meinen Geschmack etwas zu glänzend, Kragen und Innentaschen aus kuscheligem Fleece, praktische abnehmbare Kapuze.Dann Ernüchterung: die Steppnähte gehen ohne Steg oder Zwischenfutter komplett durchs Material. Da die magere Daunenfüllung eher überschaubar ist, ziehen sich deshalb überall ca. 1 cm breite Kältebrücken quer durch den Mantel, bei denen Ober-und Untermaterial zusammen nicht dicker sind, als eine durchschnittliche Bluse!!! Nach nur wenige Probeminuten bei + 3° C auf einem windgeschützten, überdachten Balkon war ich komplett durch gefroren!!! Und das soll ein Wintermantel sein?! Zum direkten Vergleich habe ich mich in T-Shirt und Hoodie auf den Balkon gestellt. Darin war mir tatsächlich wärmer!Wenn überhaupt handelt es sich hier um einen wirklich sehr leichten Übergangsmantel. Die Ärmel an sich sind zwar weit geschnitten, aber die Übergangsnaht von Mantel zu Ärmel ist unter den Achseln relativ eng, weshalb man leider keine wärmende Fleecejacke drunter ziehen kann. Und dafür knapp 200 Euronen? Nee, echt nicht.I love the style and fit of this coat, but it’s definitely not warm enough as a winter coat even though it’s down filled - hence 3 stars. If it had been warm it would have received 5 stars. It’s simply a fashion statement. It’s too thin to be warm, there can’t be much down in there. I wore it this morning in 0 degrees, and I had on a long sleeved thermal vest, 2 long sleeved tops and a fleece jacket with the coat on top, and alas I was still cold. I’ve kept it because it’s a lovely coat (though way too expensive for something that’s just a lightweight coat), but the search goes on for a proper, warm winter coat.It’s true to size, I bought a size 10 and I am a size 10. There’s room for a thick jumper underneath (which you’ll need if wearing the coat in the winter!).This is probably the most comfortable coat I've ever owned, it's also lovely and warm. Nice that it's a bit longer.I'm a size 12-14 and M was perfect. L was far too big.Highly recommend - great coat.I was delighted to received my new coat after much initial uncertainly as to which size to go for. I am 5 ft 6 ins tall usually a size 10 ( 28 waist and 32DD chest). I ordered the smalland I’m delighted with it. It’s roomy enough to wear a jumper underneath( not that you really need the added warmth of a jumper) whilst wearing this extremely warm, comfortable and lightweight coat. The coat isn’t tight fitting but it is has a fitted shape and doesn’t make me look like Michelin man !!! Which is an added bonus. It’s stylish and practical and incredibly warm. I love the warm lining of the pockets and the well fitting hood which remains in place in blustery conditions. This has got to be the most comfortable and warmest coat I have ever purchased. The only thing I did notice is it’s smell! The smell reminds me of the smell of a dogs wet coat after it’s been out in the rain (it may be the smell of the feathers I don’t know).I’m hoping the smell will disappear after I have washed it. Otherwise fantastic investment - thanks
