THE LION COAT, v5

This coat is beyond what I could have hoped for. The intuition that went into the design surpasses all other coats I’ve worn. The level of adjustability makes this coat a perfect fit no matter what the scenario. The feel is great, the coat is amazingly warm, and it looks freaking awesome!

Got the Lion coat for Christmas and while I don’t ski, figured it would be fun to wear about town, especially here in Portland where "Keeping Portland Weird" is a motto. I wore it for the first time out and about at our Winter Lights Festival, and got many positive comments and lots of looks, which if you are going to buy a coat like this is kind of the point.

After I first got the coat, I was concerned that it seemed to be designed primarily to be worn over a helmet, and the hood kept falling down on my face, which while visually looks great - with your face not showing, you are all lion - it wouldn’t be practical to walk around in and see where you are going. I was about to complain and provide a warning / suggestion in my review that the hood needed to be adjustable, but then I finally discovered that buried under the long fur on the back of the head is this nice cinch cord that you can tighten and make it all good for wearing without a helmet. May be more obvious on the shorter furred species but for the lion the hood adjustment is really well hidden under the mane – might be worth a note with coats that the hoods are adjustable.

Coat seems well made and as described is the warmest coat I have ever worn, I suspect that for any temperature over freezing (maybe even lower), you wouldn’t need anything more than a T-shirt underneath it. Fits well and looks great, I am happy I got it.

I love the V5 lion coat, especially the magnets in the hood compared to my V4 tiger coat. I know all the other people that comment it also love it. I especially loved wearing the hood and sleeves with a Detroit Lions jersey. For those that are interested, I used a couple suspenders (one in front one and one and back) to hold the sleeves on, so I could wear the jersey with the sleeves oh and I also created a headband to put around my helmet that holds two magnets so the magnets did not have to be permanently attached to the helmet

Bought for the wife. She absolutely loved it!

The Lion Wildcoat is incredible. Super warm, extremely well made, and looks great whether you’re out to dinner or outside in the cold. The fit and quality are top-tier, and it feels like a jacket that will last for years. I get a lot of compliments on it!
