This winter coat is great for keeping you warm during the cold months. You can wear it over your regular clothes when you go out. Just zip it up and adjust the hood if you need extra protection from the wind. When it comes to cleaning, you can simply throw it in the washing machine on a cold - water cycle. Then, tumble dry it on a low setting. Remember not to use hot water or high - heat drying as it might damage the polyester material. Since it's not lined, it might be a bit more breathable, but you might want to wear a warm layer underneath if it's extremely cold. Also, check the size chart carefully before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
