Wildcoat

I was skeptical about purchasing one of these coats. Mainly because of the cost. I also wanted something that I could stay warm at a football game and also be unique jacket. I decided to splurge as a Christmas gift for myself. The real test was at a -15° windchill game in Chicago. And I can tell you it passed the test with flying colors. I wasn’t cold at all with the coat on. In fact, I was sweating. One of the few purchases recently that I am happy that I bought. Five stars.

Huge hit with our crew this Christmas

I'm the media person for my local ski hill here in Alaska; I often wear fun outfits (animal onesies!) to help generate morale on the mountain. Putting on onesies over my gear is a pain, so I ordered the Grizzly Bear v4. I didn't think it could be warmer than my Cabela's parka or my biggest down puffer but here I am at 0°F and colder, with wind, and I'm sweating in my T-shirt in this coat – definitely warmest coat I own! I'm glad the arms zip off or spring would be un-BEAR-able. XD. I do think a big part of the warmth factor comes from the hood and high collar, preventing cold air from going down my neck because a strong wind WILL get through the fur but at that point I'm not skiing.

I thought the paws would more gimmicky than functional but I can still grip my ski poles while using them and I can actually operate my lens zoom with my left hand (I still have to fold back the right paw to shoot). My fingers get cold doing photography on the mountain all day but the paws make a huge difference in warming up my gloved hands between shoots.

I get a lot of compliments on my coat and parents with little kids seem to get a kick out of it, so that's a major bonus. Plus it's just FUN.

My only complaint would be that the fit is definitely for men. I'm a thin woman and at 5'6" I fit the XS (S was too big - arms too long). I don't have particularly wide hips but I feel like I have to clench my butt to get the zipper started, and then unzip it a bit from the bottom, so women with hips be warned. With all the cool details, bells and whistles, I imagine it's fairly cost prohibitive to have both mens and womens cuts but maybe some day.

Bought my husband one of these and he loves it. Super well made and warm enough for the frigid Chicago winters. I just bought one for myself as well. Keep up the good work!

This coat is the best thing i have ever bought for snowboarding season!! The warmth this jacket is unmatched!! Very durable as well! Looking forward to buying another one! Thanks wild coat!!

The exact words of my seven year old step son, “there is nothing cooler in this world, than this coat”. He got the lion youth coat and it is amazing. My eleven year old step son got the grizzly bear and he loved his as well.

My son requested this as a Christmas gift and he was SO excited when he opened it. It is exactly as pictured, very good quality. I needed help with my order (nothing big, just needed an update) and the founder emailed me back promptly! Great service, great product!

This coat was everything I dreamed of. All the features that were described in the photos were done perfectly and most of all this coat is so so warm!

I love my new coat, it’s super warm and turned a lot of heads in public

Waited until Christmas, she is IN Love with it!!

My kids are in love! Bought slightly large so it will fit as they grow, but still works perfectly!
