I did a lot of research before buying this jacket and I have to say after 3 winters (3 years), this is definitely the best winter jacket you can buy, for temperatures ranging from 5 to -20. It is very obvious how much thought the 10tree team has put into this. I absolutely love the ease of access of the hidden chest pocket for your wallet and other key essentials.

It is very obvious how much thought the 10tree team has put into this. I absolutely love the ease of access of the hidden chest pocket for your wallet and other key essentials. I love how much other pockets it has for all the accessories you usually carry in the winter - gloves, scarf, hat, and tissues. There's an inner pocket inside the jacket that's super helpful for just stuffing big bulky accessories. The side pockets are numerous - a flip top pocket, inner hand pocket, and a zippered pocket underneath that. I use the hidden zippered pockets on the sides to keep my phone and keys. I love how the jacket comes up all the way to your mouth (optionally, if you zippered it up all the way to the top), to protect you from the wind. I love the elastic straps near the hood to tighten things up for more warmth. The jacket keeps you warm period. Even with that, I find I don't sweat too much underneath but can't avoid it. Sweating in the cold is just one of those seemingly unavoidable winter things I think haha. The jacket is also not too heavy considering all that. The zipper on the jacket is top notch. I find once in a while if you're stretching it the wrong way, it comes off, but that's only because the jacket is so long (on purpose), so it's not a big deal. Speaking of the length of the jacket, it makes it super stylish. Just overall, the design is fantastic.
On top of all this, it's sustainably made? What more could you ask for?
My only design feedback for this jacket would be that if there was a warmer lining in the hand pockets so I could put my bare hands in there to keep warm, rather than sliding my hands into the zippered hidden pockets on the sides. The material inside the hand pocket is the same as the outer layer of the jacket, so it's not the most warm/comfortable.
