I have to update my review of the Mirabella Parka. Stupidly, I thought the hood would not tighten in front. Maybe the toggles were tucked under somehow and I couldn't put gloved hands on them. So I must apologize and say you can tighten the hood in front. This is very important if you remove the fur. It has been windy so I can say the windproof shell is good. I still find that the arm crease area feels cooler than the rest of the sleeve. Overall I am happy with this coat so I am updating my rating to a 5 star.
