Recommend your insulated coat...for me!

[wendibird22]

I'm searching for a new insulated coat for me. I'd call it a winter coat but the reality is I need for fall outdoor sports spectating in lovely WNY where it'll get cold and windy soon once the sunsets and I'm watching sports at 7pm. My current coat is a Columbia similar to this: https://www.columbia.com/p/womens-he...8161_color=464. I like that it's not a heavy winter parka but one that I can wear for work throughout the winter (I don't have a long walk from parking to office) and can layer with under armor and sweatshirt as needed for sports. I'm needing to size up this year (thanks perimenopause!) so before I go and buy another one of basically the same thing, I thought I'd check in and see what you all own and love. I already have a heavy down parka from Eddie Bauer for those rare occasions where it's super super cold and I need to dress like I live in the north pole!

My mom has what basically looks like the Eddie Bauer version of the Columbia one you already have. She really likes it, but it is probably not substantially different from yours.

I have a version of this from a few years ago that I love, but I don't know how warm it is compared to your columbia, I don't know that I've worn it in weather as cold as you're describing.

They have a bunch of longer lengths available on sale atm. I got mine at Nordstrom Rack during the pandemic. I like that it's somewhat fitted and flattering, I never thought I could pull off a puffer jacket.

I've had a couple Bernardo coats over the years and been pleased with them.
