Interesting. I just bought a Helly Hansen winter jacket (on clearance at Sportcheck for $80 down from like $~300ish!) and it is easily the warmest piece of clothing I've ever owned and I was born here. I can't imagine wanting a warmer jacket.
Although the time I've spent typing this post now exceeds the time I've spent thinking about what type of coats other people are wearing lifetime. Maybe that's self-centered but I basically don't care what other people wear.
