Eddie Bauer review

Eddie Bauer's Superior Down parka is the pick for cold that comes with sleet. Its recycled nylon shell uses WeatherEdge seam-sealed construction rated waterproof and breathable to 5K/5K, with a StormRepel Super DWR finish that Eddie Bauer calls its longest lasting. The page says the shell turns away rain, sleet, snow or hail and that the down keeps you warm when the mercury goes subzero. Inside is 650 fill power down, the lowest fill power on this list apart from Canada Goose, and Eddie Bauer does not publish a fill weight or a temperature rating. Inner rib-knit storm cuffs seal the wrists. List price is $349, and it was marked down to $209.40 when we checked, which makes it the cheapest waterproof down parka here. It is a sensible coat for wet, cold cities, but for long hours well below zero the Canada Goose, Feathered Friends or Quince parkas carry more warmth.
