Im in the market for a new coat. i need something that is extremely warm, waterproof, breathable, comfortable and nice looking?

I was looking at The Northface but are there any other companies that are better or just as good as Northface?

 

Patagonia makes great thick fleece coats. Not the cheapest but it fits all your qualifications. Also, try REI, Columbia Sportswear, or Marmot...they're all good.

 

iv got a london fog jacket that is water proof (err it dries up in 5min ) but it keeps me 100% and warm and it looks good.

 

I have a Columbia. Like RB says, they're all about the same, get whatever is on sale

 

I'm thinking about getting a carhartt jacket. I've heard good things about them.

Extremely warm, the best you can get is Canada Goose, http://www.canada-goose.com/

I have this one

The Constable

A bit on the pricey side, but these are the stuff eskimo's wear... seriously.

 

I have a London Fog down parka but honestly I hardly ever wear it. I don't like wearing a big floofy jacket like that.

For dress-up I have a navy blue wool peacoat that goes over a suit. Between the suit and the peacoat I'm plenty warm.

When I'm not wearing dress clothes I wear a corduroy bomber jacket (I dunno what it's really called, it's got that thick wool on the inside and poking out of the collar and cuffs) from The Gap. It's reasonably warm by itself, if I need an extra layer I put on a hooded sweat shirt underneath it.

If I absolutely have to have something waterproof I have a Black Dot (basically London Fog's snowboard/"extreme" brand) waterproof shell that I put assorted layers underneath.

Layers > big huge floofy outercoat, imho

 

Nelson. is that the Expedition model? Where and how much did you pay for it? Some sites are selling it for around 300 and another site is selling it for 500. i really like that coat
