Though they are expensive, I like the 3 in 1 idea.....1 coat for 3 seasons.....When it's cold out, it'll keep you warm. When it cool out, it'll keep you warm, not hot....When it's raining, it'll keep you dry....If you were to buy a cold weather coat, a cool weather coat and a rain coat, you would EASILY spend what you would for a 3 in 1 parka...
