What is the warmest type of winter coat?
Down is one of the warmest materials you can get when it comes to coats. Comprising a fine layer of bird feathers, down is the perfect insulator to keep you warm amid the winter chill.
Uniqlo has a great line of down-padded jackets which are ideal for colder climates.
