A warm winter coat is the first line of defense between your body heat and the harsh, bitter cold.
A quality winter coat should always keep wet weather away and prevent wind from whipping around and finding a way to steal your body heat.
Wind is a thief of body heat and you want to do whatever you can to keep it away.
As outdoor survivalists always say, it’s easier to stay warm than it is to get warm. Staying warm starts with staying dry- and this is why your winter coat is so important. If a winter coat can keep you dry, you will most certainly be warm.
(Quick side note: If you are looking for the very best survival winter clothing that will keep you warm in sub-zero temperatures even if you get wet, see my article “Fortress Clothing – My Review!“)
In this article first I am going to give you a brief overview of what to look for when choosing the warmest winter coat. Then we will get right into my list of what I feel are the best of the best.

What To Look For When Choosing The Warmest Winter Coat
When shopping for a winter coat, you will quickly realize how many styles, and different materials are out there. You will want to stick to the best winter coat brands. Our goal is to answer all your questions in this article.
Your Activity Level
Choosing the warmest winter coat, will depend on your activity level when you will be wearing the coat. The more you will be moving, the more you will be sweating. And the coat needs to be able to deal with that moisture. In my list of the top warmest winter coats, I also indicate the type of activity this coat is designed for!
Coat Insulation
A lot goes into making a winter coat warm, right down to the zippers and seams. But insulation plays the biggest role in keeping you warm. There are two basic types of insulation in warm winter coats: down and synthetic insulation. Down is wonderful at keeping you warm, and it’s really lightweight. However, it’s more expensive than synthetic filled jackets, and it sometimes doesn’t hold up very well if it gets wet. So, if you choose a down insulated jacket make sure its waterproof preferably, or water-resistant at the very least.
Synthetic insulation is a great alternative to down. Some are just as warm. They can be bulkier than down, but hold really well up under wet weather. Synthetic insulation is also much more budget friendly.
Your Coat’s Outer Shell
While it’s important to have a well-insulated winter coat, the outer shell is also critical to how warm or cold you will feel! Okay let’s go through the things that are the most important when choosing your coat’s outer shell.
Water Proof vs. Water-Resistant
Things to keep in mind when considering a warm winter coat: is it waterproof or water-resistant. Be careful with this one. Waterproof is not the same as water-resistant. Waterproof means the jacket is rated for heavy rain and extreme snow fall. Water-resistant means the coat will keep you dry in a light drizzle, that’s about all.
Fabric Breathability
Also, look for a coat that is breathable too. You don’t want to get too hot! A breathable coat will allow sweat to evaporate through the pore of the jacket- but keep body heat where it belongs. Kind of cool.
Zippers And Seams
If you are going to be in extreme weather, like on the top of Mount Rainier, pay attention to the seams of the jacket and the zippers. The last thing you want in extreme weather is to tear out your coat’s seams or break its zipper. Some brands make waterproof zippers to keep moisture out of those tiny spaces. This may be important depending on where you are going!
Proper Coat Sizing
People always ask the question “should I buy a bigger coat size so it fits over all my clothes?” When it comes to size, always go one size up if you can. The jacket alone won’t be enough to keep you warm, you need room for your basic winter layers. For more information on the art of layering, check out my other blog here: “How to Dress for Winter Survival“.
The Warmest Winter Coats Are:
1. Fortress Storm Coat
This jacket is ranked number one because it provides the most warmth in extreme cold, for the money. It is also one of the most versatile, it doesn’t overheat you when you aren’t in super cold winter weather. It is very light weight, and very breathable. You really only need a base layer under this coat in most situations. This storm coat is amazingly affordable too.
The other amazing thing about this jacket is if you accidentally fell into water, or were sweating profusely, this jacket will still keep you warm and comfortable. To test these coats the manufacturers go up to frozen over lakes in sub zero temperatures and cut holes in the ice.
Then they all jump in the water and climb out and then sit around and talk. It usually takes about a minute or two before each person is completely warm and comfortable again. And they never change out of their wet clothes. It is totally amazing.
I show a video of this in my article “Fortress Clothing – My Review!“
