Much I can not really tell. The statement that the mantle fails rather bigger, I can agree with. Even if I would qualify it more. It is a mantle of women fits with larger bust. That has always been the "problem area" my wife. Ie other coats squeezed rather a chest. This is not the case here! The sheath holds, according to my wife warm and was also supported / tested at low sub-zero temperatures. Positive are also the slanted side pockets and cuffs with thumb loop to mention. The other winter jackets and coats hang only in the dressing room after delivery. Better feedback you can not get in my opinion.
