If you’ve ever excitedly ordered yourself a voluminous puffer jacket, only to take it for a spin and realize it’s really not that warm, well, same. Although I grew up in New York City and spent most of my life there working as an editor and stylist, I’ve since moved upstate and ultimately discovered what cold really feels like. Single- and double-digit temperatures are the norm each winter, so I’ve had to find the best women’s winter coats for extreme cold in order to keep from freezing. After examining materials, scanning reviews, and adding a handful of styles to my closet, I’ve found a slew of outerwear options that I think are worth buying.

What to Look for in a Coat for Extreme Cold

There are a few factors to consider when shopping for puffers, parkas, and topcoats. Insulation is important, whether that means it’s filled with down, feathers, or a down alternative. You’ll also want a coat that’s wind-resistant, and, preferably, water-resistant, protecting you from blizzard conditions (or just really, really cold, wet days). Hoods and standing collars are features that can block the wind from getting in, while heated technology will ensure you’re feeling extra toasty. Plus, it’s always helpful when brands provide you with a range of temperatures a coat can withstand—if it says below-zero or arctic conditions, that usually means it’s pretty warm!
