Recycled Vegan Shearling Puffer

This coat kept me warm in the Japanese Alps in the middle of the winter, so functionally, it does its job! But there's one big problem. There is not enough space between the faux shearling lining and the zipper, so every time I try to zip the coat, the lining gets stuck in the zipper and it takes several attempts before I can zip it up all the way. As I'm doing that, little fuzzy bits of the lining get torn off by the zipper and then get stuck all over my clothes. This is quite annoying and I have to use a lint roller on my sweater/shirt every time I take off the coat.

I love a few features of this coat. It’s warm, has a big hood with nice ear coverage, and long enough to protect top half of legs from the cold. Two major flaws for me are, like other reviews, the zippers. The main zipper is not a smooth zip, it takes effort to make sure it doesn’t get caught. The zippers on the pockets are not hand friendly as they scratch when putting your hands in and taking them out. One smaller issue are the sleeves. I appreciate the length for the cold, but they are not practical when you need your hands. They cover my entire hand and are a pain to keep adjusting them.

I bought this to prepare for a northern hemisphere winter, which i haven't done yet so i have not actually worn the coat. It feels very warm, is a good fit and i am looking forward to trying it near the Arctic circle! I read the other reviews about the zip issue- catching the wool. I am not sure if this has been fully fixed as I notice when i pull zip up the wool fibre catches so that woud be a bot annoying, especially if wearing gloves. otherwise very happy with the purchase.

I thought: "Woww, finally I have a beautiful vegan jacket". So lovely and it feels very warm too. But unfortunately the zipper isn't working well and I regret not reading the reviews before purchasing this jacket.
I'm willing to pay a lot for vegan articles, but then I expect in return good quality. Instead it takes a lot of time to zip it up and down... and therefore a lot of frustration.
It's on its way back :(

The jacket was very warm, the hoodie was deep and overall kept me warm. The main issue for me was the zipper that would get caught to the lining. If you have time and patience you could zip it up/down slowly using your thumb to guide the zipper, I just didn’t have time and patience to do so. I would pick another jacket to wear instead.
The second thing was the pockets zipper, it always scratched my hands (maybe this is just me) I really wanted to make it work but I knew I wouldn’t be wearing this jacket much.
