I finally bought a full length Patagonia in preparation for the frigid winter months to come. I was so excited when I first tried it on. The cuffs are comfy, the fabric so soft, love the length, and it looks good. My only complaint is how it does not keep me warm. Confused by all the warm reviews and not sure if the inconsistency is due to the recy... Read Morecled down? Maybe the soft fabric does not block the wind? Whatever is the reason this coat is cold. The right jacket for temps in the 40s, maybe early fall or late spring, but certainly not warm for the cold winter months.
I’m so bummed this parka was just too long. I’m 5’7” so I didn’t expect it to hit so far below my knee. The material is soft and so so comfortable and the jacket is very well made with nice features like the cuffs on the arms. Ultimately I returned it for the Jackson Glacier jacket
Happy with the purchase! The jacket is nice and good quality. Winters are about 40-55 degrees Fahrenheit where I live. The jacket keeps me warm enough on most days. Because I always run cold, I do always wear two layers underneath. Because of this, I sized up.
This coat is so warm & I love the color (purple). The only thing that would make it a little better is to have 1-2 inside pockets, for security. Size is M W’s which isn’t listed below.
This jacket is almost perfect! Super warm for MN winters and great for walking the dog. Just wish it was even a little bit water resistant! Snow or drizzle, this jacket will get wet and absorb it all.
I was hoping for a long coat that would be light, warm, and roomy enough to wear insulated pants and a bulky sweater underneath. I got it with this coat. The inside zippered pocket and the snapped outside pockets are bonuses.
I grew up in a warm climate and transplanted to a cold one about 15 years ago. I have never been happy with a winter parka until I found this one. It is extremely warm, lightweight, and cozy. I especially like the long length and the fleece-lined outer pockets to keep my hands extra toasty.
I am happy to report that the obsidian plum color is good. It is a dark eggplant shade that seems to compliment red and pink hats/scarfs/gloves. Size small is long and big on me- 5', 110lbs-- definitely room for layers.
My daughter is a nurse in the Windy City. Walking to the hospital on those chilling mornings requires serious gear. Well it was a holiday gift and she’s loving it!!
This parka is so light and so warm at the same time. I love the length and how comfortable it feels. I typically wear xs and I got xs and it fits nicely but if you are planning to wear big sweaters underneath I would size up.
I am heartbroken and torn because while I like this jacket, I have returned it to REI because I cannot stand that the external pockets aren't zippered. This jacket is a great, long length and super warm. The material is satin-y, and I love that the sleeve cuffs are a tight, stretchy material. However, I cannot stand that both of the external p... Read Moreockets are each held by a single snap closure. There is a small, internal zippered pocket, but I don't want to have to unzip my coat every time I need something from it, and it can't fit that much anyways. I do a lot of recreational outdoor activities in winter, as well as travel often, visiting large cities and taking public transportation. I don't like the fact that in such a pricey, luxurious jacket my phone, keys, or other belongings could so easily fall out or be pickpocketed since the pockets are so exposed :(
Given the description and reviews on this jacket I thought it would be a lot nicer than what it is. It’s not very warm and the feathers inside the jacket are starting to poke out and I’ve only worn it three times so it doesn’t seem like it’s going to last for more than one winter. For the price, definitely could find something of higher quality and... Read More warmer!
We're sorry to hear this Parka has been disappointing, Hayley! You may be able to keep the feathers intact by pulling them back into the baffle from the other side, and then firmly rubbing the fabric with your thumbs to “heal” any hole that has formed. In any case, we want you to be happy with everything you purchase from us, and if you like we'll be happy to help you [return](https://www.patagonia.ca/returns.html) it.

Great quality and super warm
I love this jacket!
But, I ordered the Obsidian Plum color online and it is absolutely not the color in the pictures. I was really hoping for the deep purple but it is a much more bright purple in person. It is still a great jacket and fits great but I had to exchange it for the black one.
This fits exactly as I wanted, with room for layers. I am 5.1 and 108 lbs and can wear a vest or big sweater under it which is perfect for being in snow country. I wish the side pockets had zippers instead of a snap. The inside pocket does have a zipper but it is not as deep as my previous Patagonia parka, which also had deeper, zippered side pocke... Read Morets. If the pockets matched my 14 year old Patagonia parka, I would have given it all 5 stars. This one does have snaps in addition to the heavy zipper, which my old one does not have, so thats nice!
Hello Dee, thank you for the review. We appreciate the feedback you've shared with us and hope we can make improvements in years to come with this parka. If you know the name of your 14 year old parka, you're welcome to check [Worn Wear](https://wornwear.patagonia.com/) so see if we have one posted!

I really like this coat!
I really like this coat! Its so soft and pleasant to touch! I am 5 ft 7 inches, 130 lb and I bought size S. It fits well on me and is a little spacious so I could wear a sweater or hoodie underneath.
This works so well to keep me warm on the sub-zero days. It very light and easy to carry indoors. I was concerned it would be too long on me but the length is perfect for keeping the cold out. Pockets are great for hands, phones, glasses, keys... I love not having to carry a purse! Great for travel.
I purchased the silent down shorter jacket and while the fit was not right on me, I really liked the fabric. I saw the long version and I'm in love. It's so soft, great quality and well designed. The double zipper and snaps are great and give you lots of fastening options. It's long enough to cover your knees and reaches the top of m... Read Morey snow boots so I'm very warm when it's really cold out. I walk the dog daily and having a long warm coat as an option is key - I also love the old school look. Being able to zip, snap and have it opened or closed is great as we're walking. A medium fit but was snug in the body. The arms were way too short though. The large fits really well with a little extra room. It's actually very flattering for a long down coat - sliming - even in the large size. Worth every penny.
This coat is beautiful, feels so luxurious to wear. Warm, light. I ordered large because I have sometimes found the fit between the shoulder and sleeve to be tight on Patagonia tops and I don't like that tightness. So my coat is a little big but feels great and will be great for layering.
I wanted a dog walking coat for the really frigid days. This coat is it! It is so warm I don't need to layer under it the way I have had to under other coats. Now I almost want it to be 20 degrees in the morning so I have an excuse to wear it.
I bought the silent down long parka to keep me warm on walks. The 2 way zipper is helpful for getting in and out of wearing it in the car. Love the snaps down the front ,also. Very soft, very warm and the brown color is beautiful. Medium was a good fit. I wear size 8/10.
This coat is lightweight, but super warm! I wear it for walking around nyc on extra cold and windy days. It helps get me to my early morning workouts. I'm 5'3" 125lbs and debated between the XS and S but preferred the XS for a tighter fit.
I love this coat! I wanted a coat for these cold MN winters that was longer and would help keep my legs warm. This is perfect and has the bottom zipper which is a necessity w coat this long. And its light weight. Its spendy and worth the investment.
I have been wearing this coat in the negative temperatures that come with Minnesota winter and it's everything I wanted. The length leaves very little of my legs exposed when I wear boots and the hood keeps my head warm. It's insulating, soft and warm without being heavy. Absolutely worth it.
This is my second Silent Down Coat. I loved my last one, and would wear it most of the winter, as it was light, warm and very comfortable, as well as flattering. I had hoped to get a navy or dark brown onethis time but those colors were not available. Although I don't love the colors this season, which is geared more for blondes, than brunette... Read Mores, I compromised, and bought the medium brown one. The coat fits a bit snugly, but still allows me to layer. I hope to love it as much as my last coat.
minus 5 here in wisconsin, winds blowing so hard its hard to think straight outside. I just got my long coat and couldn't wait to go outside and see the christmas lights, I was warm, wind protected and it was long enough that my knees were protected. it was so awesome.

I felt really protected in very extreme temps and was really grateful that you created such an amazing jacket. thank you so much Patagonia.
I have tried other comparable brands and have not been satisfied. When I discovered this coat in my local Patagonia store I was instantly sold. Its super warm (I live in Maine, warmth is a must), lightweight and doesnt look like Im wearing a sleeping bag. I am thrilled with my purchase.
This coat is very comfortable and lightweight and pretty attractive for a puffer. I love that it is reused down and the company ethical standards. But I dont find it that warm which is disappointing. At 25-30 degrees I was marginally warm. For the price and description, expected it to be warm down to zero. I will probably return it.
We're sorry to hear this parka isn't as warm as you had hoped, Irene! Thank you for this review. If you do decide to return it you can absolutely do that through our [Returns Page.](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html)

Best Jacket Ever!
Hands down the best jacket for the cold weather states. Paired mine with some tall Bog Boots and together they keep all the cold off of me! 10/10 would recommend this jacket.
Great coat for cold winters. I do not have to wear many layers underneath to keep warm even in freezing temperatures. I am good with this coat and a t-shirt underneath even in 20 degree weather. It is very windproof, which is good for Chicago winters. It covers my knees for extra warmth, too
Love it so far, we have not had temps in the 30's yet so not sure if it will be warm enough but so far has been exactly what I was looking for, the length, comfort, quality
Highly recommend
To get the top to right correctly I am a size large. The belly around this coat is BIG and bell shaped. I would have expected a more feminine shape or a draw string. But, I'm going to keep it - so so comfortable!!
Buying this coat was a splurge, and I'm happy to say I have zero regrets. This coat is so unbelievably soft and toasty warm. I'm a teacher in upstate NY, were we take winter seriously. The extra length of this coat is perfect for recess duty, running errand in big wind chill, and outdoor winter parties.
We're so glad to hear that our longest parka is keeping you warm out there on all your daily adventures. Thanks for the review, Susan!

Recomended!
I have not wear the jacket yet (that's why 4 stars) because the weather is still pretty warm but just after trying it I was very happy with how the jacked fits, looks, feels.

Read Morebut the jacket seems very well done. The color is beautiful, I will pair my coat with beige hat and scarf which look great together. I can't wait for the cooler days to actually wear it outside, I'm sure it will keep me warm from head to toes as it's nicely insulated. I'm happy with it!
I put this jacket on the moment it gets chilly in the fall and until it gets too warm in the spring. I live in Montana and will wear this for easily 6 months out of the year. It's like wearing a toasty sleeping bag. It comes to my mid-calf and wouldn't have it any other way. It's so soft and quiet and people comment on it all the tim... Read Moree. (I'm sensory avoidant / sensitive to sound, so the quiet aspect of this jacket is really noticeable.) Highly recommend!
I bought this coat to replace a shorter one and I am really happy with the fit an feel. I have not had a chance to wear it in cold weather yet, but know it will be warm for the cold and show we get here in Central Oregon. Perfect for dog walking and errand running.
I love this coat. The color, size, fit and quality is amazing! I will wear it proudly and take very good care of it for many years of joyful wear! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this review. Kim! We're thrilled to learn this Silent Down Parka has gone to such a good home! Please let us know if we can be of any help at all!

Like wearing a comforter
The best softest lightest fluffier jacket I have ever owned. Great purchase! Nice big pockets and a perfect fitting hood. Maybe a tad long but a keeper!
I was worried I ordered a size too small due to other reviews, but this jacket is true to size and you can definitely layer underneath. This is the best item I've ever bought from Patagonia. It's so soft, I feel like I'm wearing a down blanket or sleeping bag.
While I LOVE this coat, there are a few random things about it I'd like to change. I wish that the exterior hand pockets zipped closed rather than a single button snap closure. That's not very secure so when I'm sitting in the stands watching hockey I fear losing my keys into the abyss below. But there is an interior zip chest pocket... Read More so I guess you use that instead..
I am 5"8" 135lb and I find that I needed the medium only because of the sleeve length. The sleeves are too short in the small, like so short. So the coat isn't as fitted if you size up to accommodate the sleeve length issue. Medium the sleeve length is great, and I suppose now I just have more room for a big layer underneath.
Otherwise I am so in love with this coat. It is warm, and the entire reason I wanted it is due to the length- it hits me mid calf. It has been -22 ° in Montana and I walk around comfortably in this coat, it's awesome.
I always love the way Patagonia improve and strive to be ecologically correct with their products. Not only so warm and light weight, this product in my mind, one of the best !

I'm a little petite and was afraid that the length would be too long all around. To my very happy surprise it was perfect. The arms were a great length and I love where it hits at my shins.

Read Moreon it every time I wear it - I got the Dusky Brown color and it's stunning. I typically wear an XS in Patagonia and this fit true, the sleeves are a tad too short but perfect otherwise.

Having pockets that zip is extremely important. Every large winter coat I've had- even from Patagonia has zippered pockets. But this is a single, extremely cheap looking single snap in the middle. I am contemplating returning it but I really need it. Very frustrating.

Almost perfect coat
This coat is very warm, material is soft. The zipper is very sturdy, I feel like zippers can be a weak point in a jacket. I really love that much of the coat comes from recycled materials.

Warm
Love the coat. Not massively warm but warm enough. Fits well but love overall your commitment to the environment.
For the jackets can you come out w a bright green color please? Thanks
Love the length! It hits me at about mid-shin. There's enough room that I can wear a thicker layer underneath. It's SO WARM! The inner cuff is nice, but wouldn't mind an extended cuff with a thumb hole. Pockets are deep too, nothing is falling out of those.
I traded in my glacier parka for this jacket and am very glad -- living in NYC, the length and warmth have been excellent to get me through the worst of winter. I wish Patagonia would make more jackets with an extended hood that better protects your face during high wind/snow/rain. This hood doesn't do that, but it is fitted around your head a... Read Morend keeps your ears warm. Be prepared for your face to get wet and windblown -- but the rest of you will be warm!!
This is the warmest coat, by far, that I have ever owned. I am 5'2 and its right at midshin. Not super body contouring but I love it. It is my favorite winter coat. It is super soft, creamy, fluffly, and withstands Chicago winters.
I was a but skeptical about ordering the jacket without trying it on but man oh man. So cozy! Feels like a cute sleeping bag I ordered medium I'm 5.5 +130. Now my jacket did have a tiny hole so I mailed it back but I received a new one less than a week later no questions asked. For reference I live in Seattle, WA.
We purchased this for my wife after moving to the Midwest and it has been perfect. She went with the medium normal fit so it could be layered for extra warmth in the single to negative degrees.
After four purchases and returns, I finally have a coat that is comfortable and warm. A few thoughts: 1) it doesn't have an exterior Patagonia label which surprised me because I'd wear it proudly. Why not offer it as an option?; 2) the hood doesn't detach. What not offer that as an option or simply design with a zipper hood?; and 3) ... Read MoreThere's no inside hook/tab for hanging it up, hence, when not on a hanger, it's hanging from the hood. Seems an easy fix.

This jacket has a looser fit. It fits just slightly bigger on me than the Dusty Mesa Parka, which I have in the same size. I think the fit is very flattering though, and it leaves room for a sweater underneath the jacket. For a calf length parka, it is one of the cutest options I have seen on.

This coat is so close but theres a few issues that make it a coat I cant recommend.

The biggest issue is this jacket constantly leaks down. Ive had it about 2 months and down is still coming out of the seams of the... Read More jacket. Im picking feathers off myself every time I wear it.
Otherwise the fit and fabric is lovely. Not terribly warm, either. Theres other coats that are worth it for the price!
