If you’re looking for a winter jacket that’s cruelty-free and contains no material sourced from animals, you can’t do better than a jacket from Noize, which has the PETA seal of approval and makes a wide range of vegan outerwear.

And with nine lovely shades to choose from in sizes from XS to XXL , you’re sure to find one that suits you!

I was skeptical that this coat would be as warm as my North Face down coat but it is above and beyond. I’ve tested this out in subzero New England conditions for several weeks and it lives up to all its promises. It’s so warm I can wear a thin shirt under and feel warm and toasty without all the bulk. Quality of coat is amazing too. Fits true to size.”

It’s not every day you come across an incredibly warm winter coat that also looks cool and chic, but when you do, it’s not surprising when it turns out to be from The North Face. One of the most popular brands in winter outerwear, The North Face strikes just the right balance between form and function, and this Sierra Long Down Parka is no exception. It comes in four lovely colors, and features a removable, adjustable waist belt to add some definition (something that’s often missing from thick parkas!). You can also remove the hood, depending on how frigid it is, as well as store small belongings in the interior zippered chest pocket.

While proper cold weather gear is worth the investment in our book, there are budget-friendly options out there that will get the job done.

Choose from one of five colors, all of which feature chevron quilting that keeps the insulation evenly distributed. For extra warmth, this coat has a soft fleece lining, along with a snap closure over the zip-up front to keep the elements out. It’s also water-resistant, and comes with a removable hood and comfy pillow collar. What more could you ask for?

One Amazon shopper called it a “great coat for the price!” and said, “I’m trying to stay away from down, and it’s surprisingly hard to find a good, warm winter coat without it. This coat is GREAT!” She went on to say, “I live and work in Chicago — so I walk outside a LOT and commute on the train. This coat is nice and long and very warm… I highly recommend!!!“

Buy from Canada Goose, $1,495

Little Red Riding Hood was never so warm — but maybe she would have been, if she’d used that big bad wolf’s fur to line her cloak! This gorgeous red jacket from Canada Goose has a hood trimmed with genuine coyote fur, and is insulated with 625-power-fill down to keep you warm on the coldest days. The pockets are lined with fleece, the hood is adjustable, and the jacket hits at mid-thigh. We love the red, but it comes in 11 other colors as well! (And sure, Canada Goose parkas are pricey, but they’re worth it if you are looking to invest in a winter jacket that will keep you warm and dry in any weather).

Happy customer: “I bought this jacket a month ago. We have had a few frigid days already and it’s kept me so warm even on windy days! I love the lined pockets that keep my hands toasty.

Happy customer: “I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this coat, love everything about it! The quality is outstanding! I have had every expensive brand name winter coat, but have never ever had one that has kept me this warm! I I’m not even looking forward to the warmer months because I don’t want to put this coat away! Every time I wear it, I get at least one, ‘I love your coat!'”

Buy from Jack Wolfskin, $244.99

This sleek winter jacket is deceptively lightweight, considering how warm it is. Icy winds don’t stand a chance of penetrating the 800 fill-power, RDS-certified down insulation, and an attached hood offers extra protection from the cold. Generously-sized interior pockets will hold not only your keys and phone, but can even accommodate a water bottle or other bulky items, while zippered outer pockets keep your hands warm and your stuff secure. You can even bundle it up and store it in its own inner pocket! This ultra-light, super-soft jacket comes in a deep blue with hot pink piping, or a bright red with gray accents, and will be your go-to jacket from fall right through spring.

Happy customer: “I have a closet full of winter coats, but this is the one I always grab when I’m running out the door. It’s lightweight enough to work in the spring, but the down filling makes it warm enough to wear even on the coldest winter days. For those unexpected March breezes, it was a godsend — I stayed toasty warm but didn’t overheat. Plus, it’s super cute! I love the hot pink detailing on the indigo, and the slim silhouette keeps me from feeling bulky and shapeless. Love it!”

Happy customer: “Got this in black and wore it on vacation. It was perfect for the cool spring weather in Melbourne. It’s lightweight yet kept me warm, and surprisingly I did not overheat as the temperature got a little warmer. Enjoyed having a hidden zippered pocket for valuables too. Only improvement would be just a tad more room in the waist/hip area. It’s also easy to wash and quick to dry.”

Buy from Canada Goose, $1,150

If you’re tall, it can be tough to find a winter jacket that keeps you warm through the hips and fits your long arms without tugging. Luckily, this Alliston Parka by Canada Goose is extra-long, and features wrist cuffs with convenient thumbholes to keep sleeves from riding up! Besides that, it’s filled with down insulation from head to toe (or, mid-calf!), its ‘feather-light’ ripstop material keeps it from feeling too heavy or bulky, and its streamlined silhouette even looks quite stylish.

Happy customer: “Warm, stylish, and full-length! Runs big in my opinion: I am usually a size large and had to go for the medium. I am 5”11 and the medium fit just right, including my long arms!”

Buy from Nordstrom, starting at $1,600

When it comes to warm winter coat fillers, down is one of the most sought-after — and for good reason. It acts as insulation for birds like ducks, geese, and swans, so you know it gets the job done. That said, some down coats can be a bit bulky, which is why we like this ultra-sleek design by Moncler. Not only is it filled with down to keep you nice and cozy in the cold, it’s also incredibly chic, with its black lacquered nylon shell and cool sleeve pocket. Speaking of pockets, it has zippered front pockets to keep your hands warm, and their angled shape helps accentuate the A-line silhouette. Plus, this coat is water-resistant, and comes with a hood that you can remove on milder days.

Buy from L.L. Bean, $269

This light down coat has a durable, weather-resistant nylon shell that’s filled with 850 FP goose down to keep you snug when the mercury plummets. It’s machine washable and can go in the dryer, too, has an adjustable, insulated hood, zippered hand pockets, and is practically weightless (it can fold into its own pocket!). In other words, it’s the perfect down winter coat, so if you’re looking for the best plus size women’s winter coat, look no further!

Happy customer: “Love, love, love my new coat. It’s perfect in all sorts of weather. Until this coat, I never had an attached hood that worked. This hood keeps everything warm without restricting hearing or movement. The bonus was finding it has its own packing bag built right into the coat, so I’m able to easily take it with me ‘just in case’ or have the flexibility of taking it off and compacting it into its own neat zippered bag. Very clever. Well worth every dollar.”

Buy from Nordstrom, starting at $950

Look sleek and stylish this winter with this gorgeous down coat that will warm you up on a dreary winter day! Available in classic black or bright white, it’ll make you’ll feel like a million bucks, thanks to its chic, fitted silhouette, and you can also adjust the waist to your desired fit with the interior drawcord. Aside from its aesthetics, it’s also incredibly warm (in true Canada Goose fashion), though it’s shockingly lightweight and can even be packed into its own pocket, making it perfect for travel. Another plus? It’s washer- and dryer-friendly!

Happy customer: “BEST COAT EVER!!! This seriously is the warmest coat I have ever owned! It is also very lightweight and packable. It is super stylish! I get so many compliments on it! Seriously I couldn’t be happier with the purchase!!!”

Happy customer: “Terrific plus-sized parka; good fit, and excellent length — not too short or long. I was hesitant to order at first because it has a poly filling, not down, but it kept me extremely warm in 15 degree temperatures. Can’t beat the style and the cost.”

Buy from The North Face, $330

Having to choose between black, green, or navy!

Happy customer: “I wear this coat to work in the Colorado winter. Super warm. I have arthritis so I wanted a lighter feeling coat, without compromising my warmth. Mission accomplished! I’d buy again.“

Buy from Canada Goose, $1,450

This is one of the best coats for extreme cold weather because of how adaptable it is. For the days when the temperature starts to rise, there are backpack straps inside this Canada Goose coat to avoid having to carry around your coat. The long length helps keep your body warm without the heavy bulkiness of other coats — one reviewer recommends this parka to “anyone wanting head-to-toe-warmth without the bulk of having to wear multiple layers!” This jacket was made to withstand even the coldest temperatures, with a thermal experience index rating of -22 degrees and below. Keep this coat forever with its durable design that will keep it looking brand new for years.

Happy customer: “Love this coat. Finally bought one so I could get out and enjoy Boston’s bitter cold temps with my dog. My other down parka was too heavy and I could never keep the hood up … the wind was always blowing it off! Problem solved with the Mystique. The hood stays up very well and the fur keeps my face cozy. I don’t have a single thing to complain about with this fab jacket. I am considering purchasing a second Mystique in a different color for the upcoming season. Worth every penny!”

Happy customer: “I love this coat. Honestly I waited too many years tolerating a shorter, less warm coat and finally gave in and bought this one this year. I’m so sorry that I waited. This coat is fantastic for my needs. I walk a very large dog in the woods at 6 o’clock every morning through New England‘s winter. This coat is generous enough to wear a sweater underneath without being sweaty warm… I love it.”

This gorgeous red coat from Canada Goose has a hood trimmed with genuine coyote fur, and is insulated with 625 fill-power down to keep you warm on the coldest days. The pockets are lined with fleece, the hood is adjustable, and the coat hits at mid-thigh. We love the red, but it comes in eleven other colors as well!

Happy customer: “Ahh… where do I begin? I live in New England where we have brutal winters. Also, I have a thyroid condition that makes me always feel so cold. I had tried five or six down parkas from other companies that just didn’t do the job. I finally decided to stop wasting money by purchasing inferior coats. I bought this amazing jacket on Thursday and wore it today for the first time. We had a high of 18 degrees F. I didn’t feel so much as a chill. I put the hood on and the fur stopped all the cold and wind from blowing on my face. My only regret is that I didn’t buy this coat sooner.”

Buy from The North Face, $320

It’s easy to see why people love this North Face parka: It comes in a great variety of colors, is available in sizes XS to 3XL, and features oversized down baffles for extra warmth, as well as an internal pocket.

This coat comes with a lifetime warranty!

Happy customer: “This is a great jacket! Ultra soft and comfy. Extra warm if you’re always cold, like myself… Great for walking because it’s windproof and very light. True to size although it will allow you to layer up a bit if you need to.“

Which of the five colors will you choose if you buy this coat? That might be the toughest decision to make when picking out a new winter coat on Amazon, because this one is so popular and beloved by happy customers. Eddie Bauer’s Sun Valley Down Parka is made with 650 fill-power down, which offers warmth without the bulk, and the shell is crafted with a metallic cross-dying process that adds a subtle sheen of iridescence you’ll love. The two-way zipper means you can adjust it from the top or bottom for comfortable movement, and the fleece lining feels cozy, even over layers (yes, the pockets are fleece-lined and zip up!).

Happy customer: “I live in Wisconsin and bought this coat prior to a trip that included Chicago, Minneapolis, and Amsterdam. One coat had to handle all three places. This one was absolutely perfect! Chicago was cold, Amsterdam was cool and overcast, with rain thrown into the mix on our last day, and Minneapolis was downright frigid — meaning never above zero and as low as 19 below. I was comfortable in all three places, as well as at home since I returned. Another advantage is that the coat stuffed easily into the overhead compartment on the airplane without taking up much space. A nice feature is that it has a zipper pocket on the left chest that fits my iPhone 8 Plus. I am particularly pleased because I returned two or three disappointing coats before I finally got this one. It was definitely worth waiting for.”

The styling is cute — it isn’t tailored, so it is roomy for layering, but the bottom hem is adjustable so you can tighten it as you wish. I am very pleased with it! (I am a size small, ordered a small and it is what I expected–not tight, room to layer, but not too big).”
