Yes lake effect! Where I am it's not as bad. I got my puffer with a bunch of gift cards for returns I did. I paid nothing! It was great.

The bulk of my coats (now) are L.L. Bean, since I work there. Otherwise I own stuff from multiple outdoor brands. I love Patagucci for the fleece! I own multiple synchilla fleece and love them all.

Hi neighbour! I lived in Niagara for 3 years! I was up in St.Catharines! The wind off the falls is no joke 😭😭

I'm perpetually cold, but I can overheat easily. I'm also that looney toon walking around in -15 with my coat open and a hoodie 😂

I had an older long lulu coat and hated it. The zipper stuck constantly (and is now kind of broken? It's hard to explain), and it was just a pain to wear because it had only 2 pockets. I might get a super puff this year. I just picked up a men's parka from my work for my heavy coat!

I wore my men's puffer all last winter (I'm in Toronto), and I once brought it to a cabin trip, where the weather was -50°C with windchill. I was at a cabin with some family, and that puffer kept me warm when we walked along a frozen beach! Don't do this, it as brutal weather wise, but gorgeous! We were walking around these amazing frozen waves!

I can't handle a long coat, because I walk fast and I find myself tripping over my own feet because the bottom of the coat restricts my movement. My cousin calls the side zips on her long coat her "speed zips" and that always makes me laugh. Maybe this year is the year I actually give in and get a longer puffer...🤔

As a tall person with a long torso, men's shirts have been my go to for ages! Especially with the Team Canada line. I find the love shirts are too short on my torso, and the sleeves aren't that long. The men's line is a better fit length wise, and it's a little looser, so it's more comfortable to wear. Men's shorts are hit or miss for me.

I wear a men's down puffer as well. The women's one barely hit my hips in the regular fit, but the men's one covers my butt and the sleeves are long enough for me to cover my hands without gloves.

I buy men's coats/jackets regularly, since a lot of stores don't carry tall women's sizes. I'm average height for a male where I am, so the most I have to size for is my hips. Shirts/stretchy pants I'm a medium, but for coats I'm usually a large.
