The store excitement trying this lovely jacket evaporates fast when taken outside, the first morning. Ottawa, Canada, -3C (this jacket supposedly is down to -25C). Immediately, notice that it impedes walking. Unless a skeleton, anyone moderately athletic will feel the bottom part of the jacket restricting leg strides. Ok, unzip a bit the zipper. Calm, windless Ottawa morning.. -3 to -5C, waiting 7 minutes for a bus. Then the cold sinks in, despite having two layers underneath. No cold spots, just overall, complete cold chill and cooling effect all around.. Conclusion? maybe 700 dawn but does not work below freezing temperature...Returned immediately.

This coat offers great versatility and adaptability to various temperature settings. When wearing the full parka with inner coat, it definitely keeps you warm and dry, though I would not necessarily describe it as life changing, just doing what it is supposed to do at the price point. It has handled the New England winter well so far to date with the several times I have worn the full 3 in 1 style. Earlier in the season, wearing the inner coat only was plenty warm enough, and I look forward to getting continued use from it in various situations.For me, the amount of pockets is adequate, and the pocket space is enough, though others may want more. The coat is clearly a little bit bulkier, but that is expected to combat the colder temperatures. I'd say it is ...

At full price, may want to think just a little harder about your options, but this coat would still be a good decision.

I made this review in January 2021 when I returned the item, but for some reasons it was not published; I am trying again:I purchased this parka a year or so ago and returned after a few-time wearing it. The problem was that the down filling comes out through the shell, which was quite disappointing for the price. In addition, although the jacket is highly stylish, I was somewhat disappointed with the level of versatility. I had a Columbia (Double Whammy) 3-in-1 jacket before for a long time. The Columbia is more versatile than the Patagonia Tres. Columbia does not make the same jacket anymore.I can live with the versatility issue as the Patagonia parka, in addition to being more stylish, has some features better than the Double Whammy (e.g., the outside chest ...

I just wonder if the leakage issue has been improved since then as I contemplate to order again.

Having said that I have just seen at least another review that brings up the issue of the inner jacket "losing a lot of its down and no longer providing the same insulation."
I wanted a robust, yet flexible winter coat, and this one certainly fit the bill. I am in the lighter side (130#s, 5ft 10in). The XS felt tight at the armpit, and the S fit right without feeling too bulky. I was afraid the fabric would be heavy and crunchy, but surprisingly, its is very pliant.The pockets, as others have stated, is a touch odd in its location, but it is not a Dealbreaker. I dot dislike the feel of my hands touching the zipper when I use the pockets. I gather it would feel worse when the weather is really cold. I gather Ill be using gloves though, so that should minimize the feel of the zipper. Thank goodness it is a plastic zipper and not a metal one.The front chest pocket is a key requirement.

I had a previous version of this parka for 10 years, and unfortunately it was accidentally destroyed. The Patagonia warranty department helped me replace it with this new version. It's largely the same, which is great given how much I liked the old one, but there are few changes worth noting.First is that the inner puffer jacket now has elastic cuffs on the sleeves. For casual wear, I prefer open cuffs, so that's not my favorite.Second is that the pockets on the shell are significantly different. My old version had pockets with vertically-oriented zippers on the side of the jacket, in the normal place where you'd expect a zipper if you wanted to put your hands in your pockets. On the new one, the pockets are more towards the front, and the zippers are a lot more ... MoreI had a previous version of this parka for 10 years, and unfortunately it was accidentally destroyed.

My old version had pockets with vertically-oriented zippers on the side of the jacket, in the normal place where you'd expect a zipper if you wanted to put your hands in your pockets. On the new one, the pockets are more towards the front, and the zippers are a lot more horizontal. Which means when you put your hands in them, you kind of have to stick your hands straight down, which I find pretty unnatural. In addition, there's a flap covering the pockets, and the zippers on the pockets have large, chunky plastic teeth. If it's cold out and your hands are raw, fighting the flaps and dragging your skin along those teeth is not very pleasant. The pockets seem like they are designed more for storage than for hands at this point.I expect to get many years of use out of this new parka, and I know it will keep me warm and protected, but the odd choices around those front pockets drop it from 5 stars to 3 stars for me.
This a great jacket, and I love the versatility of "3-in-1". That said, it really is a waterproof shell with a down-insulated jacket that is zippered in for warmth. I haven't had the opportunity to test it's waterproof-ness on a proper rainy day, but it handles melting snow perfectly. That said, this jacket falls short on the promise of warmth through all levels of cold.I bought this jacket after visiting in-store to get some feedback on what level of winter jacket I should buy for a Canadian Prairie winter. The staff recommended this jacket as appropriate for everything down to the bitter -40 Celsius we experience on a fairly regular basis in Canada. This jacket simply falls short of that promise.

The staff recommended this jacket as appropriate for everything down to the bitter -40 Celsius we experience on a fairly regular basis in Canada. This jacket simply falls short of that promise. The staff told me that the heavier parkas that Patagonia sells are too much (i.e. Frozen Range) and that going higher than this jacket would not serve me well, even on the bitter cold days. The limit of this jacket is about -25 celsius. Beyond that, you will need an additional decently insulating layer to keep warm, such as an additional fleece jacket. That isn't necessarily a problem, but had I known the limits, I would've bought a higher-level jacket. One of the largest downfalls of the jacket is that the insulating layer is waist-length, while the waterproof shell layer is ~mid-thigh length (depending on your height). Evaluate your needs before buying this jacket. If you don't plan on walking around town in something colder than -25 celsius, this jacket will work wonders. If you don't mind adding another layer to your wardrobe when it does get very cold, this will work as well. Otherwise, you might want something more hefty.
Love the parka, but after 4 weeks the outer material started to wear, especially where the buttons are.This is not acceptable for a coat this expensive. I think it is a design flaw. There is no padding over the buttons (like in other high end brands) so they wear the outer material.Furthermore in the collar and sleeves the innercoat is attached with very flimsy straps. In other brands this is also way more solid. I think this is also a design flaw and unacceptable for a coat this expensive.I returned the coat and got my money back from the shop. They wil send in back to Patagonia.
The jacket is warm and comfortable. Things I think would make it better:Interior pocket stuff sack feels like its going to pop when you shove the jacket into itself. Squatting can get a bit stiff in the jacket when the shell is on. It blocks your hips if you don't unzip. A few feathers started coming out already but not as much as other brands. A good interior pocket on both layers would take this over the top. I like to put a phone or wallet under there instead of on the outside. A slightly wider mouth on all of the pockets. Also wish that there was some type of soft backing when the jacket gets tight around your neck or chin so it doesn't scratch your chin on the zipper.Overall its warm.

Love the versatility and style of this jacket kit. I live in the PNW and it's perfect for year-round wear. Wear the full kit in the wet cold months - the puffer on dry cold days or just the shell on warmer rainy days.I got a large - I am 6'2 ~210 lbs. The shell without the puffer fits bigger than I would normally wear, but it's just right when the puffer is zipped in. The puffer fit is just right (and it's a nice puffer!)I do feel like the quality is a level above other outdoor brands - the fit and finish, zippers, colors, it's all very nice. Patagonia isn't cheap - but you get what you pay for. If you need one jacket that'll serve several roles that looks stylish enough for work, get this kit.
