Warmth in this catalog is a five-point judgement made per garment, not a number pulled off a spec sheet. A 5 means you can stand still outside in real cold and stop thinking about it. A 4 means you can walk in it all winter and only regret it on the worst week.

The trade for that rating is almost always bulk, and the coats that manage warmth without bulk are the expensive ones. That is most of what you are paying for at the top of this list.

How to choose

  • Insulation type matters less than fit at the neck and wrists — that is where the heat actually leaves.
  • If you commute by car, a 5 is usually too much coat. Buy a 4 and a better mid layer.
  • Down loses to synthetic the moment it gets wet, which in a coastal winter is often.
