    I work outside and body warmers are wonderful, but they are what they say they are so I wear a jacket as well.

  • Im in the LOVE camp! it can be flippin cold but I still push my sleeves on my fleece up and have my bodywarmer on. I wish I could find a long down one to fit me as I am 6' tall and a bit chunky but to no avail :(

  • I had a down one but it was too chunky on me and I looked like michelin man, especially with a coat on top. I sold it on ebay - there was quite a bidding war for it! I do have another less puffy one which I really like. It's reversible too! I've also asked for an 'outdoors' one for Christmas which is really light and will be great when I go hiking / camping to keep the chill off in the evenings.
