What to Look for in a Winter Jacket
If you live in a cold-weather region, you’ll want options aplenty, especially if you’re the type who needs a coat for more than simply walking to work or the store. A sleek peacoat, a tailored topcoat for dressy affairs, a durable puffer jacket, a rugged yet refined duffle coat, a warm and versatile parka, a hardy waxed jacket, a cozy fleece, and even a classic trench coat are all staples worth considering when choosing the right winter coats for you. Some jackets are extra versatile, while others are for more particular occasions. The Barbour Beaufort Wax Jacket is our pick for the best overall since it's a durable do-everything jacket, plus is a pure classic—and waxed jackets will never really go out of style.
Before purchasing, you’ll want to consider a variety of aspects of each winter coat, including shell materials, durability, insulating materials, and if there are any particular features you can’t do without. Knowing all these details will help you figure out the right jacket for the right situation.
