Customer Reviews Khombu Down Parka

I was worried about that strange zipper before I ordered it and I was right to be. I had trouble getting it zipped up right from the start and it felt like it was only a matter of time before it broke. It is also a strange color, a dark red that has a hint of raspberry to it like red wine. It runs quite big but not everywhere, for me it was big all over except around the armpits so I felt like it would rip if I lifted my arms up. Sadly it's going back.

This coat is made of great quality and will keep you very warm. I was worried about the fit based on a review however fits very well on me. Cannot wait for the weather to get cooler so I can wear this coat everyday.

This coat is absolutely perfect! I was looking for a nice down coat with a hood that would keep me warm in Canadian weather and I must say I am very impressed with this Parka. I already own two pairs of KHOMBU boots and I will now be purchasing a second KHOMBU jacket a little more lightweight as this coat is a beast! I highly recommend it!

I am a chesty gal (38H). I usually have to buy things for my chest and they run huge everywhere else. Some peoples' reviews said it ran a little large, I think it runs small. I do not see a size chart so I went ahead and ordered the XL. It is a little tight across the chest. If you have curvy hips (size 16 or greater) this may not be the coat for you. It is very straight. It seems warm though, I don't want to wear it outside until I decide if I am keeping it. I am running out of time and though it is a bit snug it may have to do the job. I got the red color and it is gorgeous, almost more like a burgundy, like wine! The hood also fits nicely, sometimes hoods are too room and they slide down and cover my eyes but this ones doesn't do that.

This was a cute and cozy jacket. I would have kept it, liked the fit, had ample room for curves, and fit them nicely. However, the arms were sewn on strangely. I could not lift my arms without pulling at the should seams. I am a seamstress and I think I may have gotten a mistake! Very strange. If not for this, I probably would have kept this jacket.

Boo! LOVE the color, the down, the zipper, the fit of the bodice (which is even a bit too roomy) - BUT the arms are designed for someone who is skeletal.
