I bought this coat at Sporting Life just around xmas and it paid for itself the first time I wore it - really! It is so warm and light - it's a real joy to wear. Compared to cloth coats - it is so much warmer and weighs practically nothing. I have no fear of any weather now - I even like to go out in freezing temperatures because I know I'll be warm as toast. Invest in this amazingly warm and stylish garment and you will never be sorry for treating yourself as you deserve - winter can be fun in a Fire & Ice Anne style coat! This almost sounds like an advertisement but it is really true.
