Pros:
Tough
Cons:
Sizing runs a little big
Best Uses:
Day trip, Hiking
For commuting into the city, I needed a coat that would keep me warm through the winter cold and chilling winds, and also withstand the rain. Additionally, it has a lot of pockets and provides good coverage. The McMurdo Parka is the answer to all my commuting needs; I am very happy with it.
Great Purchase!
