This coat has really cheap zippers and the snaps that hold liner to outer jacket are broken. This also seems to run small, I normally wear size 6 womens. I got a mens because the sleeves are longer and this one the body length was also longer. The fit around the hips seems right compared to a different size m mens columbia jacket with a liner also. I had a womens columbia coat and that one has a much better zipper and seems to be made better.

I just bought my third Whirlbird IV jacket a month ago. My previous 2 coats had the main zipper wear out quite quickly. I actually had one replaced with a heavy duty zipper and that jacket lasted me a couple of years. On my new jacket I have noticed that the cuffs on the wrists seem smaller than the previous versions. They do adjust down but they are small. The front zipper is still a smaller zipper that is not very robust. The jacket is very warm and sized appropriate. The adjustable shock cord on the hood is confusing to tighten. The pockets are well placed and easy to access

Having owned predecessors of this coat, this being the fourth generation of my ownership, I

Nice fit and great colors. I miss the INNER lapel pocket on the outer coat but will survive. The Zipper on the Outer lapel seems cheaper so hopefully it lasts. Overall I am satisfied and the sale price was a great buy at under $100. Shipping did take a LONG time.

Not for canadian weather. They need to make ready for atleast -30C
