I was a bit hesitant to buy this initially since it looked quite shiny in some photos on the product detail page. But it was too cheap for a coat to overlook. I'm glad I went ahead with this purchase though because it is matte in real life. The grey colour is darker than it looks on the photos but it isn't too big of a difference.This coat is thin but for some reason it really does warm me up. Now I don't know how it would fare in sub-zero temperatures since it doesn't get that cold where I live. But personally, it is enough to protect me from the wind and cold. The length and fit is very good as well. And until now I'm still in awe at how this coat could be so cheap.
