Customer Reviews
De*****ong
Warm enough, but took longer to arrive than expected. Jacket itself is solid for cold days.
Lin******ter
After struggling with back pain from cold exposure during outdoor work, this parka made a huge difference. The coverage and insulation target exactly where women need warmth. It’s lightweight but powerful—no more shivering while shoveling or waiting for the bus. Finally, a winter coat that solves real problems.
Jes******ee
Perfect winter coat for harsh weather. I was tired of jackets that look cute but don’t perform—this one actually keeps me warm during Chicago winters. Great hood design blocks wind really well. Finally found a coat that meets both style and function.
Rya******es
Solid jacket overall — warm and well-built. Took a little getting used to the weight, but it's growing on me. Does fix [痛点3] pretty well: transitions smoothly from outdoor freeze to heated offices.
Mar*******son
Solid jacket. Warm, fits true to size, and looks good. Just wish the pockets were a bit deeper.
Chl*******ett
Stylish, functional, and actually comfortable for daily wear. I get compliments every time I wear it.解决了[痛点1]：finally a coat that looks good AND performs in brutal weather. 10/10 would recommend.
Chl*******blay
I needed a coat that could handle Quebec winters but still look decent around town. This one does both. Warm, well-designed, and doesn’t feel like a sleeping bag.解决了我的保暖困扰，同时穿去咖啡店也不显得臃肿。
Der******en
Love the warmth and fit, though the pockets could be a bit deeper. Still, it’s my go-to jacket for icy mornings. Handles [痛点2] like a boss — zero wind chill sneaking through.
Emi******ter
I bought this parka for my trip to Banff in -20°C weather, and it kept me so warm even on the windiest days. The down insulation is amazing—no cold spots at all. As someone who always struggles with staying warm in winter, this jacket solved my problem perfectly. Lightweight but super cozy, and fits well over layers. Highly recommend for anyone needing serious warmth without bulk.
Ama******iz
As someone who walks her dog every morning at 6am in Minnesota winter, I was tired of being cold. This down parka keeps me toasty even on the worst days. The length covers my hips, so no back pain from the cold anymore. Lightweight but seriously effective. Worth every penny.

I’ve had the Zamberlan 309’s for a month now and have put about 75 km on them. They fit great right out of the box but have been getting even more comfortable every time I hike. I like the lacing system and the ability to adjust the tightness in different parts of the boot. Although they’re fairly new they are definitely waterproof and have good grip. Hopefully they hold up over time.

One of the best all around boots you can buy. Good for 2 hour hikes or 4 day backpacking trips. Not too stiff, but lots of support. Ama*******ots

I bought these last month at the tail end of winter. I am 5 ft 7 woman approx 160 lbs. They are a great size and weight for me. I wanted a pair that would be easy to strap on as I have arthritis in my knee. The harness is easily adjustable. The back strap is a little fiddly to connect the hole into the spike and to insert the extra strap into the holder. However that is minor and after a few tries I got the hang of it. Only reason for the 4 instead of stars. Great product and I look forward to many years of use. kh*****tfg

My wife and I traveled for two months last winter. These were the only shoes/sandals I brought, and they served me well through some of the harshest conditions including the desert outback in Australia, the rain in New Zealand, and several encounters with saltwater... They are the perfect everything sandal/shoe for hot, warm, and moderate climates. When we were traveling, we did lots of walking, hiking, beaching, etc. These sandals were up to the challenge of a good hike, or just recreational walking around town. While they are comfortable and breathe well, They don't easily dry while being worn, and because of the toe cap/footbed design, have a tendency to sometimes trap pebbles or sand, requiring that your remove them to shake it out. Also, after time, they really started to stink and required a through cleaning/bleaching which is strange for me because none of my other shoes ever stink. Overall, an excellent comfortable everything sandal/shoe with a few very minor flaws. df*****hk

I bought this during the MEC sale. I wear a size 6 women boots and the size small fits my boots. I can't compare to size XS which is what is recommended for my boot size as they didn't have it in the store but my size small works and fits me well so no complaints here. Haven't used it for that long so I can't talk about the longevity but I did use them for winter hiking and they are 100% waterproof and the velcro still works! b***gh

l love these gaiters. They kept my feet dry in 3 days of continuous rain. I find them easy to adjust and don't budge or slide down as I am a small human. I recommend them to all my friends who want quality gaiters for a modest dollar amount. Would love to see more colours in the future! kh****lh

I am in my 3rd year of wearing Keen boots and will not buy another brand period. They have always had a great fit and no break period. I wear them everyday at work and for pleasure. f***dg

Had these a short time but so far they seem pretty nice. Good quality and comfortable. My previous Targhee III’s were splitting at several seems, but these are reputed to be less prone to this. vb*****fn

I bought my first pair back in 2006 and last year replaced them with new version. Materials are high quality and very durable. We wear them 3 seasons fall/winter/spring when they are needed. Definitely happy with them. Follow sizing chart which works well for me. h***h

I recently bought a pair of these from MEC and have not yet tested them in the field, but I love their hand-made Italian construction and strength, their good Vibram soles, and their general feel and good quality. They fit well, feel supportive enough for most hiking, and are a very good price. Unusually, the tongues in these boots have no seams, but are directly part of the outer boot leather, which is a bonus to not have leaking tongue seams as in most boots, and it's a sign of high-quality design and manufacturing. Zamberlan have been making boots since 1929, almost 100 years. I love these boots. Thor*********boots

Loved the Targhee III's, they did start to crack after countless miles and several years of abuse, the IV's have addressed this while keeping the same comfort. I was able to take them out of the box and hike a rough 10 mile hoke with np break in. yt*****urt

Bought these for a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier National payl for light, waterproof hiking needs. Very comfortable through miles of walking and hiking. hn*****gjh
