FEATURES, COATS & HOODS
We always work to improve the realistic facial features in each of our coats from year to year. All of our v5 coats have had their hood improved, and we've launched two new v5 styles: the Lion and the Eagle.
All v5 Feature Upgrades:
- Hood/Helmet Magnetic Connection
- Sleeve Pass Pocket
- (2) Massive Hidden Stowaway Pockets
- Inner Pull-String Waist Cinch Cord
- Mitten Thumb Loop & Mitten Cinch Cord
- Slightly Reduced Sleeve Length
All of our adult coats include detachable hoods, sleeves, and mittens.
See the full feature breakdown here.
All Wildcoats are unisex with sizes ranging from 2XS to 3XL.
Our coats are designed to be on the roomy side to allow for layers on the mountain on those bitter cold days.
The sleeves are also slightly extended to allow for winter gloves to be worn under the mittens.
Our Kids' coats come in Youth Small, Medium, and Large. On average, Y-Small fits 4-6 year olds, Y-Medium fits 7-9 y/o, and Y-Large fits 10-12 y/o.
Check our Size Guide to determine your perfect fit.

Do bears sh*t in the woods? Short answer – heck yea Wildcoats are real winter coats.
Weatherproof and designed to shred the mountains (plus maximum snack-storing-ability across nine pockets) — this bear is made to be your go-to winter coat.
Not to mention these babies are warm. Like really, really, ridiculously warm (in a good way).
For the love of Berenstain, no! We love animals and use 100% synthetic materials in all of our coats and hoods.
We are not exaggerating when we say each Wildcoat has the temperature rating of an actual bear.
If you tend to run hot (especially while skiing) you will not need many layers. We recommend simply wearing a long-sleeve tee underneath.
Adjust accordingly for those springtime turns, and you can zip off the sleeves for especially warm and sunny spring days (though we prefer ditching the ski pants for some short-shorts).
We are ski bums at heart, so we prioritized FUNCTION while creating Wildcoat. All of our coats and hoods are designed to be your go-to, every day gear on the mountain.
We've worn our original samples from 2021 across hundreds of ski days, sporting events, and everything in between and they still look brand new.
The hood stays up even when you’re ripping down a groomer, and the active fit combined with the 2-way zip allows for free flowin’ movement on any terrain. Not to mention our v3 and v4 coats have zip-off-everything — bring on the Spring ski!
Yes! Designed to be worn with a brain-bucket on the slopes (smart bears protect their noggin) or sans-helmet out on the town.
Our adjustable hood cord allows for 360˚ of free-flowin’ comfort no matter the occasion — all discreetly hidden within low profile fur pockets.
We've also embedded hidden magnets in the hood to keep it snuggly affixed to your helmet. We provide the complementary magnets for you to attach to your helmet.
And you can full detach the hood if you're feelin' a hoodless or "just the head" kinda day.
Wildcoats were designed with snow sports in mind, but you can rock this beautiful, beastly coat anywhere.
Tailgates? Prepare to be the #1 fan.
Camping? Yes, just don’t forget to double stack your s’mores.
Festivals? Fur sure.
Out on the town? Pics or it didn’t happen.
Cuddled up with boo on the couch? Obviously, bear cuddles > all.

WARRANTY & CARE
Our coats are built to last and have no issues with repeated exposure to snow, ice, and all that comes with 100+ ski days.
If wet, simply hang to dry as you would any other winter gear.
Hand-wash + hang-dry only. Washing machines are too rough on the accessories and the dryer will damage the faux leather and could melt the fur. The inner liner can be thoroughly cleaned with gentle soap and water, and can be used to spot cleaning the fur.
These aren’t your average show-bears (and wolves)! Our coats and hoods are designed to be used on the mountain, and are built to withstand the regular demands of the winter season. Wear and tear will happen, especially around frequently used areas of the coat. However we’re happy to assist with any extraneous craftsmanship or material failures.
Please email Teddy@wildcoat.com with a lil description + pics of your coat should your Wildcoat have any issues!
