You Can Survive Winter With These Super Warm Coats

As someone who starts chattering the second the temperature drops below 60 degrees, I'm not fond of winter. But something I didn't realize until this year (IDK what took me so long) is that there are actually coats that will protect you from the cold. I guess every coat I've had until this point was made for someone who could tolerate lower temps than I naturally can. And if you too sometimes feel like you're made of ice, you probably know what I'm talking about.

But even though the warmest coats out there can be difficult to track down, they do exist. It's just about finding the right mix of what will best insulate you whether it's a faux-fur lining, thick quilting, a wind-breaking shell, or all of the above. And while the best, winter jacket can sometimes be a bit of an investment piece, having something that will actually defend you against winter's worst is game-changing. Seriously, the season won't seem so bad when you're wrapped in warmth. So you can stay truly toasty on even the coldest day, here are 10 coats worth trying.
