Caterpillar Mens Heavy Insulated Parka - Breathable Water Resistant Windbreaker Coats With Zip Off Removable Hood

This coat, parka, jacket.... whatever you want to call it is fantastic. For this review, I will be calling it a coat. For the upcoming winter season I needed a new coat. My last one did great until it fell apart from over usage in many Midwestern winters. My the stupid thing rest in pieces. So, Rather than going on to wal-mart or (insert name of store here), and deal with people, lines, my habit of compulsive buying (one day i went out for soda, came back with a laptop and a new dog. Forgot the soda. True story.) I figured i would purchase online from Amazon. After hunting around the website for a good bit, i found this, and purchased it. (as well as a dog collar and some DVD-R's that I probably really didn't need). When i got it, i was impressed. Oh my the pockets! So many! Not to mention it looks great... seriously. People at work won't shut there pie holes on how great the coat looks. It's very warm. Seriously. For as thin as it is, It has kept me warm so far this fall season in tropical Michigan. Word of caution to potential buyers of this coat: People may think you work for Caterpillar. Had a gentleman approach me and tell me that he use to service caterpillar equipment and shook my hand. I thought at first he was just reminiscing about his days of working for the company. Then he asked me if "Dave" still worked there. I said, "wait, who?" That's when it dawned on this gentleman that i was in fact just an imposter, poser if you will. He walked away confused and i think he muttered something under his breath about how i wasted 12 seconds of his life or something. Poor guy. At any rate, don't waste any more of your time with my review. Buy this! I promise you will not regret it. Pro's: Pockets - lots of them! Reflectors on front and back so you don't get run over or something. Warm Hoodie stylish Cons: None ... go buy the thing already. gesh. UPDATE: Two winters of use - This was my coat for 2013/14 Winter (one of the worse on record for my area) AND for the 2014/15 winter. It's still ticking along as if it's new. Unlike my dog. It likes to use my floor at times as its designated bio disposal location. I have asked him to stop, even offered the four legged thing money to stop. He just sniffs me and farts. Right, back with the coat review: It still looks new, as if I just bought it yesterday. It has not disapointed me. Unlike my laptop, that died a horible tragic death after if fell off my balcony and bounced on the concrete below bounced like 3 times and then landed in the yard, right on top of a rare pile of my dogs magical bio waste. The one time the thing decided to use the outside as it's bathroom destination, my laptop finds it. Fantastic. Summary: Laptop dead, Dog is confused on where it should go. Coat, awesome. Buy the coat. UPDATE: Thanksgiving 2016: The dog says hi. I think. I don't speak Dog. But he just barked when i started to type. Ok, so I bought this coat three years ago. It is still in tip top shape. Still like new, still awesome. I named it Gary. Gary the awesome coat. Don't judge. You probably had an imaginary friend when you were younger. Well my imaginary friend is my coat, Gary. If you are still on the fence about buying this, i have a few words for you. First, get off the fence. That is just awkward. Unless you need to be on it for the free wifi signal you are getting from your neighbor or something. This coat has paid for itself over the many years i have owned it. I can't stress to you enough to just buy it. The fit is good, easy to clean and looks pretty good. Stay warm my fellow internet shoppers! LAST UPDATE! (7/17/2018) It's July of 2018. My coat is sleeping comfortably in the closet waiting for winter to spring upon us once again. While it still has some time to slumber before it is awaken, I am comforted to know that it still is in fact the best coat that has ever been created by mankind. That's right, i went there. I have not had to buy a new one for five years now. Half a decade. I'm pretty sure I can call the coat a good purchase now. Dog is good. Farts a lot. He has faults but i love him. Coat? No. It doesn't fart. It's not alive. Still in perfect condition after five years. So, after half a decade of reviewing the coat, if you still are not unsure, then i would just recommend moving to Arizona. I don't think you have to deal with coats then. This will be my last update of this coat. I am now retiring from this review. I wish you the warmest of winters and a happy and healthy life my fellow amazon shopper!

This jacket is amazing. It’s waterproof and windproof without being bulky or heavy. The number of pockets is astounding. My normal size fits comfortably with room for a hoodie underneath. It’s also long enough to keep your butt warm in the cold without getting in the way. I have worn this at -14°F in active wind and snow with a zippered hoodie beneath it. I was surprised at how well this jacket kept me warm and dry. I’ve also worn it at 30° and not been too warm. I like this jacket enough that I have personally recommended it to others who work out in the elements. Everybody has been happy with it.

OMG! This thing has so many pockets! I owned a green version of this same coat in previous years, and it never wore out. No issues with zippers breaking, tears, or anything else. The old coat is still perfect. After losing 130 pounds, I needed to find something that fit better and made me look less like David Byrne in every music video he did in the 80's. I downsized from a 4X to an XL. It fits like a glove and is warm. I still have room to wear a fleece hoodie underneath it for added warmth in the Minnesota winters. The oversized coat allowed for too much wind circulation beneath the jacket. The properly sized one does not have this issue. That is not the fault of the coat. That is all on the purchaser. Make sure you buy the right size. There are like 14 pockets in this thing! My biggest problem with that is trying to remember which of the pockets I put which belongings in. That is not a complaint. I love being able to have pockets to carry everything around. I just have to improve my recall to remember what went where. The hood is fully removable with a zipper. This is a personal favorite of mine because most winter jackets (including this one) makes a terrible racket when donning the hood. Hearing aides pick up the sound even more. I only use the hood on extremely cold days, and rely on a double-knitted beanie and scarf most of the time. (Did you know that -40 celcius is the same as -40 fahrenheit? I learned that firsthand by living in Minnesota.) The reflective stripe is a nice addition for walking the dog. Since it is dark when I arrive at work and dark before I leave work, the reflective stripe is a nice addition to remain visible without looking like a construction worker. Buy this coat. You will not be disappointed.

This was purchased to replace a 20+ year old parka that had finally given up the seams and this cold spell was a perfect time to fully test out this jacket. The quality of the jacket seems to be exceptional, both in material and in workmanship. I would easily rate the construction with 5 stars. This jacket should last a good while. In design, it has more than adequate pockets, maybe too many. Zippers are everywhere. The big front pockets and hand warmer pockets were not as large as I would like or am used to, but they are adequate. A little bigger would be appreciated. I would fully agree with one review that the collar is stiff and is in the way. I would happily trade a pocket or two for two collar snaps to keep them out of the way. So for the design, I rate it about 3.5 stars. Many of the reviews rated this jacket as very warm, even to quite cold temps. Walking the dog in early mornings in breezy, below 10 degree F. weather needed more warmth. The material, although very strong, did not completely stop the cold wind and I needed an extra layer below the jacket to keep warm. My old jacket never had that issue. This jacket will likely serve me well for most conditions, but I will need to be extra aware of actual conditions before stepping out to ensure that I have any needed layers. For warmth, 3 stars. All in all, it is a good jacket and I am pleased. A little extra wind block or insulation and a couple of collar snaps in trade of a few zippered pockets would make this a 5-star.

Buen material muy cómoda y caliente

I bought this item just because it was on my cart for a way long time.Talking about this product its marvellous.Its 100% Polyester.Polyester is known for its high water resistant capacity.It have lots of pockets.Any one who is seeking for warmth must buy this item.My only concern is about how long it can withstand heavy rain.It was after purchasing this item I come to know about CAT 'TRITON RAIN JACKET'.For any one who wishes to buy this product must come to know about what is your purpose?.According to my job, irrespective of time and weather conditions, I used to work outdoors for continuously extended periods where ordinary rain coats aren't supposed to perform good.Any way this product is value for money.Excellent.....I am 5'9 and I purchased large(L) but I think medium is better.

Very nice jacket! Well designed and looks sharp. I am 6’1” and 270lbs. I normally wear a 3XL jacket, so I ordered this in 3XL also. It is a little large but I think a 2XL would have been too small. There is plenty of room for a sweater or sweatshirt and not be too tight. It is nice and warm at -10C and I suspect it would be comfortably warm at much lower temps (with a sweatshirt underneath). Be aware that this is not a Parka. I don’t think it could handle -40C. Overall it appears to be really good quality, fit and finish. The zippers are plastic, but they are heavy duty compared to my current jacket. There are lots of pockets inside and out. The zipper took a little getting used to, as the jacket has a large double zipper flap (that also buttons up) to protect against wind, cold, and rain. Another reason I like this jacket is it’s machine washable (hard to find in a good jacket). Overall I am quite happy with this jacket and would recommend it.

Está lo que sigue de increíble, el material se siente de una buena calidad, muchas bolsas, el diseño y el color están bonitos. Amazon me recomendaba la XL, pero leyendo algunos comentarios, decidí comprar una G. Y fue perfecta, incluso me queda ligeramente grande, pero nada significativo al menos que me ponga a dieta. Es por mucho, una excelente compra, un excelente producto, y se siente que calienta muy muy bien. Me urge que haga frío para poder traerla todo el día.
