    Tried on the non-hooded version at a local EB store. The sleeves on the regular were about an inch short of where the guy at the store said is recommended, but the bottom of the coat was right around my hip. The tall was about an inch long in the sleeve but I liked that it hung a bit lower....so I went for the tall. Glad I procrastinated, online they are offering 20% off outer ware with free shipping...so I saved a little bit of money too good. You want the longer sleeves, guy doesn't understand winter. Gauntlet gloves mean you push them up a bit but when not wearing big ads gloves you'll be real happy with the length. Plus too short sleeves looks Iberian dorky

    Dynasty league in fantasy. I have the same team that was 3 points away from a Superbowl win last year and took home the best record as well. This year with exactly the same starters I haven't won a game yet. Holy hell NFL

    Zero risk. Could be ten times the size and you could be okay. It has a gain knob and you have a volume control. Use your ears and your brain.

    NO. For sitting doing nothing Down >>>> Wool. If doing exercise Wool >> Down. If doing UBER exercise Wool >>>> Down.I have never had an outdoor coat that kept me as warm as my wool/cashmere topcoat. My down coat was supposed to be the warmest out there, and was much thicker than the ones he is looking at. I had a down long coat and it was ok, but not as nice as my wool topcoat. Either way, neither could be used for activities other than driving or standing. as for fit, the down coat was correct, the topcoat was big unless I wore several layers. I never did. Just t shirt and dress shirt. If you aren't worried about your ass/thighs then the down jacket will be warmer. Down coat > wool coat for no activity. Benefit of wool is its moisture wicking possibilities but in a topcoat that really isn't normally the case in particular when they line them with moisture logging crap materials.

    I love being outside in winter though. By far my favorite time of year.

    I probably have more winter jackets than most of you have work shirts.

    EB FA quality is 10x or more the LL Bean stuff too. The FA is better than North Face of 10 years ago which makes current North Face look like Columbia garbage.

    Synthetic multilayer jackets are generally garbage.

    Quoted to highlight that fit is key. Poor fitting anything will be cold. That took me YEARS to understand. Always wondered why the little goretex Glenn Plake Northface shell I had was so warm compared to $800 3 in 1 coats. The shell fit perfect, the other jackets didn't. I'd take a $200 Eddie Bauer First Ascent Down over a $900 LL Bean 3 in 1 if it were really cold or I was doing mild exercise. And I'd be way warmer in all situations.

    I also don't think LL Bean stuff will fit you well from your descriptions of yourself.

    No comparison, the down will KILL it for warmth. You are WAY over thinking YOUR moisture levels. I am a sweaty pig. I wear down everywhere...including tonight. Primaloft is crap and ANY solution that requires you to zip it in is a fuck show.
