2. Protect Your Pipes
- Wrap Pipes: Use pipe insulation to prevent them from freezing and bursting.
- Let Faucets Drip: Keep a slow trickle of water flowing from faucets to relieve pressure in the pipes.
- Shut Off Exterior Faucets: Drain and turn off outdoor water spigots to avoid freezing.

We all need that faithful winter coat to help us keep warm when the temperatures drop — and that’s exactly what’s happening in metro Atlanta as winter kicks in.
Top quality winter coats can be difficult to locate. The department stores never have your size and when they do, the color is always off.
Best Winter Coats
With cold weather upon us, now’s the time to check out some wool peacoats, or warm and comfortable winter coats. Here are some of the best ones:
Orolay Women’s Thickened Down Jacket
Here’s what one reviewer says about this Orolay coat: “SO WARM. So stylish! I am so in love with this coat. It seems very well put together and heavy and sturdy. I am usually a size L/XL in everything and the large fits perfectly with the zippers up on the sides. It gets a bit narrow around the hips but it’s adjustable so it’s fine! Absolutely love this coat.”
Women’s Notched Lapel Double Breasted Raglan Winter Coats
Here’s what one reviewer says about the Allegra winter coat: “So I’m 5’1, 135lbs, and 36C. I bought the medium and it fits well. A small MIGHT’VE fit, but I didn’t risk ordering it. As far as length it hit right above my knee. It’s roomy around the waste so it’s not a form-fitting coat–still looks cute though. I’m also still able to wear layers under the coat–which is good because it’s not the warm kind (especially in Chicago winters). Overall, a good purchase.”
MOERDENG Women’s Waterproof Ski Jacket Warm Winter Snow Coat
Here’s what one reviewer says about the Moerdeng women’s waterproof ski jacket: “This is a very nice, warm & comfortable ski jacket. I’m in love with the fur lining – it feels amazing. The water repellent material will be great in rain and snow. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is I read and expected it to fit true to size and I’d say the fit is a little big. I think it will be ok with layers underneath but if you are between sizes, I’d recommend to size down.”
Wantdo Women’s Mountain Waterproof Ski Jacket Windproof Rain Jacket
Here’s what one of the reviewers says about this coat: “This coat is a very nice coat so far. I got a large (I wear medium usually) and it fits over a suit jacket perfectly (I wear a 38R jacket). I had hoped the ‘long’ jacket came to mid calf on me, and this comes to just below my knees. I’m 5’9” with a long trunk and short legs.”
Allegra K Women’s Double Breasted Notched Lapel Long Winter Coat
Here’s what one reviewer says about this Allegra winter coat: “Really beautiful! The jacket fits perfectly, check the description for a good fit! I’m 5’1″, 150 pounds, size 12. I got the medium and it has the fitted size I wanted. Hits just above my knees. I love the soft feel of the material and it has exceeded my expectations.”
That’s all for the women’s winter coats. Now let’s look at some of the best men’s winter coats:
Caterpillar Men’s Heavy Insulated Parka (Regular and Big & Tall Sizes)
APTRO Men’s Winter Single Breased Slim Fit Wool Top Coat Long Trench Coat
Here’s what one reviewer says about this top coat: “It is a nice, quality dress coat. I ordered the ‘fleece’ style, which has the heavier liner. It’s warm, but still not meant for deep winter cold.”
Men’s Winter Jacket Thick Thermal Cotton Warm Fleece Lined Coat
Here’s what one reviewer says about this coat: “This coat is beautiful, smooth and Groovy I was sceptacle at first because of the price thinking to myself that dope coat for that fair price. It’s tailored and fits very well I’m 5”11 slim build. You don’t need to go up a size unless you’re a muscle head.”
How To Shop for a Winter Coat
When shopping for a quality winter coat, it’s important to consider factors like warmth, durability, style, and functionality. Here’s a breakdown of key features to look for in a winter coat that will keep you both warm and comfortable throughout the season:
1. Insulation and Warmth
- Down Insulation: Look for a coat with high-quality down insulation (feathers from ducks or geese). Down is lightweight, compressible, and extremely warm. The fill power rating (e.g., 600-fill, 800-fill) indicates the warmth-to-weight ratio—the higher the fill power, the warmer and lighter the coat.
- Synthetic Insulation: If you prefer a coat that is more moisture-resistant, synthetic insulation (such as Thinsulate or PrimaLoft) is a good alternative. Synthetic insulates even when wet and tends to be more affordable, though it may not be as warm as down.
- Wool Coats: Wool offers natural warmth and is great for moderate winter conditions. A wool-blend coat is typically more stylish but may not be sufficient for extremely cold temperatures.
2. Windproof and Waterproof Materials
- Waterproof Fabrics: Look for coats made from materials such as Gore-Tex, HyVent, or other waterproof membranes. These materials prevent snow and rain from penetrating the coat, keeping you dry in wet winter weather.
- Windproof Coating: A good winter coat should also have a windproof outer layer or shell to block cold winds and keep you insulated.
- Taped Seams: For extra protection from moisture, ensure the coat has taped or sealed seams to prevent water from seeping in.
3. Durable and High-Quality Outer Material
- Nylon, Polyester, or Wool Blends: The outer shell of your coat should be durable and able to withstand wear and tear from everyday use. Nylon and polyester are common choices for winter coats because they resist abrasions, while wool blends offer a polished, stylish look for formal settings.
- Ripstop Fabric: If you need a coat for outdoor activities or harsh conditions, look for ripstop fabric, which is more resistant to tears and rips.
4. Proper Fit and Length
- Layering Room: Ensure the coat fits comfortably over layers, such as sweaters and hoodies. You should have enough room to move your arms without feeling restricted, but the coat shouldn’t be too loose, as this can let cold air in.
- Length: Longer coats provide more coverage and warmth, especially in very cold climates. Parkas and mid-thigh-length coats are great for keeping your core warm, while shorter jackets are more lightweight and flexible for movement.
5. Hood Design
- Insulated Hood: An insulated, adjustable hood is essential for keeping your head warm in freezing temperatures. Look for a hood that is lined with the same insulation as the coat for maximum warmth.
- Detachable Hood: Some coats come with detachable hoods, giving you the option to remove it for a cleaner, more streamlined look or when the weather is mild.
