City girls need protection from wintery weather, too, but not necessarily in the same style as their country cousins. While a lady in the mountains needs some technical gear to keep her comfy, urbanites need to balance warmth, weather protection, and style, a see-saw act that Marmot's nailed with the Chelsea Women's Down Coat. The knee-length cut is all about the classic trench coat look, but the waterproof 2L MemBrain laminate and fully taped seams provide real rain, sleet, and snow protection, unlike a flimsy coat that can cost just as much. A traditional trench doesn't offer much in the way of warmth, either, but the Chelsea's 700-fill down insulation keeps you as warm as a summer subway car, without all the unpleasant accompaniments. Even the details are designed to keep you cozy; the hand pockets, media pocket, and snap cuffs are lined with fleece, and the down-filled hood features a removable synthetic fur ruff that helps you embrace your inner femme fatale if you're feeling saucy.
