I’m looking for a super warm winter coat that will last me forever. Something that will keep me warm around -30 C. I’m thinking military surplus, because it should theoretically be more durable (right?).

Price isn’t a huge issue if the quality is worth it.

    I had this idea of buying an army coat from a typically cold country as they’d theoretically be designed to be durable and warm.

    I found a Polish army jacket in my local army shop. In the mad off chance you live near Madrid, it’s in Argüelles.

    It’s quilt lined and it also has a quilted removable lining. It’s very warm, I used it for work at a job in October/November last year and I didn’t feel the cold at all.

    I also waxed it myself to make it waterproof, which might have helped keep some heat in?

    So yeah, long story short. Buy one from a colder country
