I was skeptical about this review. \u00a0When I saw the coat online, I wasn\u2019t sure it was the type of coat I would really frequently wear. \u00a0Then the package showed up and I put on the coat. \u00a0I was HOOKED! \u00a0I have to say I really felt quite cute in the jacket, and boy was it warm. \u00a0I am impressed how a few more inches on a coat can really keep you just that much warmer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The first time I wore it out, I was flooded with compliments. \u00a0I have now had the coat for just under two months and have still received at least one complement each time I wear it. \u00a0The quilted lines are very slimming and the drop bottom makes you look just a little taller. I saw a similar jacket on another woman and was impressed for the same reasons. \u00a0The colorways \u00a0for this jacket are also a noteworthy subject. \u00a0I read through the reviews of the jacket on the site and there were several mentions of the great color. \u00a0Mine is the Nebiola color, which matched everything wonderfully and isn\u2019t too \u201cout there\u2019 for my taste. \u00a0If you don\u2019t have a long jacket, it\u2019s a great investment for the performance and the style!<\/p>\n
There are several great features in this jacket. \u00a0The zippers pull from the top and bottom so you can just zip the middle for a warmer day, or zip the whole thing for those chilly winter nights. \u00a0The cuffs are fleece lined to keep your wrists and arms warm. \u00a0The collar has a fleece lining to help keep your neck warm, and the zipper is covered so you don\u2019t get and chaffing.<\/p>\n
There are a few things that I would love to see added to this jacket. \u00a0I would love to have thumb holes in the cuffs for a little bit of a hand warmer. \u00a0There have been several days that I wished I had just a little something for my hands and I go for the cuffs and they are not there. \u00a0 The other thing is a little more water resistance. \u00a0The jacket is marketed for a winter sport jacket, but if you get wet, you freeze! \u00a0Make sure you don\u2019t sit in snow, and if you are out in a downpour, it will keep you warm for a moment, but you do need to seek shelter as this jacket will not keep you warm and dry for long.<\/p>\n
I was lucky to find this out as I was holding my 8 month old after I took a picture of him sitting in the snow. \u00a0His bottom was still wet and I set him on my arm. \u00a0After just a minute, my arm was really cold and I noticed I was soaked. \u00a0I didn\u2019t even think about the fact that down coats are not typically very water resistant. \u00a0As for being out in a nice snowfall, the jacket is great. \u00a0Just don\u2019t stay out too long.<\/p>\n
I use this coat more than any of my other winter coats for the sheer comfort and warmth. \u00a0I have to say it is nice to get a compliment here and there too. \u00a0Overall I think that Mountain Hardwear has created a great out and about jacket, but I wouldn\u2019t wear it skiing or snowshoeing or even out in extra cold temperatures. You can check it out on their site here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.mountainhardwear.com\/Women’s-Citilicious%E2%84%A2-Coat\/OL4145,default,pd.html<\/a><\/p>\n As an aside, I was able to try out a DOHM beanie and received it close to the same time I got the jacket. \u00a0It was a perfect color match (I have the Pattern One Berry) and I have LOVED wearing them together out and about. \u00a0The DOHM Beanie has been a very comfortable beanie with a lot of warmth. I have long hair and have worn it with a ponytail and without and it fits great with both. \u00a0I am typically skeptical of a one size fits all beanie but this one worked great for me. \u00a0 This is a very classy looking beanie made from 100% virgin wool. \u00a0It has a recycled polar fleece headband liner and is a DOHM classic. \u00a0Check it out at http:\/\/dohmhats.com\/index.cfm?pageName=Dohm Mountain<\/a><\/p>\n Product provided for free by the manufacturer for review purposes.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was skeptical about this review. \u00a0When I saw the coat online, I wasn\u2019t sure it was the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9045],"tags":[9474,9475,9473,9476],"class_list":["post-4409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-winter-sports","tag-beanie","tag-berry-one","tag-dohm","tag-mountain-hardwear-citilicious"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4409\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"MH_CitiliciousChrissy\"](\"images\/stories\/MH_CitiliciousChrissy.jpg\")
