November is around the way and htat's when when is starts to get cold in NYC. What are some of the best wintercoats out?

A friend told me he had a North Face that he put on in February with nothing but a t-shirt underneath and it kept him warm.

What do you Northerners suggest?

Looking for a windproof, water proof, helmet hood.

PS: Please post links if you got 'em

for the longest time nothing was better than the Superior Parka by Eddie Bauer.. I still have mine. Although they cost a grip you cant go wrong with a NorthFace.
 
get a coat made for snowboarding, it'll keep you extra dry, may come with removable layers, and give you more freedom of movement then a parka would.

burton makes some good ones.
 
Looks bulky and no hood. What if there's sleet??

Get the matching hat or the A7 Parka

get a peacoat it's timeless stands the test of time. A warm winter coat is not about how big the coat is it's about how much air you trap and layers. A decent coat with a cashmere jumper underneath with gloves and a scarf will keep you good unless you live at the north pole or south pole
 
Crazy Eddie Bauer stopped making big coats cause niggas were getting killed over them.

I havent needed a big coat in a loooooooong time.

was that specifically the reason?

I checked for them online and they didn't seem overly priced (less than $200).

The superior parka used to be about $500.. they stopped carrying them a long time ago. People were getting robbed & murdered right & left for them in the DMV area.

Penfield got some nice ones.

It really depends on your style, though.


So what's your style?

Althoughthey have fans that are more than likely pat their 40s, LL Bean has some GoreTex winter coats that will do you proper. If you want something with a sportier look, check out Spyder.

Under $300

I have something like this with a fur collar - doesn't even have a name - it just says Etreme Cold Weather. I got if off Ebay for $89. I've had a chance to test it out on a cold January New York night with rain and crap going on - 23 degrees out wind whipping and i'm feeling like taking it off because it's so warm. I'm getting a Pea Coat for normal days and this is my storm coat - had it for 6 years

If you like to make a statement, Canada Goose is hard to surpass right now. But like homie said it might set you back a little bit.
