Advice for seniors : 7 criteria for choosing the right winter coat
Are you looking for a new coat to keep you warm this winter ? Assess your needs by paying attention to these seven points .
1 . Length . Look for a long coat that covers your buttocks and thighs , especially if you do a lot of walking . However , ensure it doesn ’ t restrict your movement .
2 . Insulation . Lightweight down holds in as much heat as possible and is a winning choice if you ’ re always cold . However , synthetic materials are preferable if you participate in winter sports , as they breathe better and retain their properties even when wet .
3 . Closures . Keep an eye out for high-quality zippers . If you have grip
problems , make sure the zippers and buttons are easy to handle .
4 . Hood . Look for a hood with drawstrings so that it stays in place . A fur trim is excellent in snowy conditions .
5 . Collar . No matter the style , it must protect your neck .
6 . Sleeves . Sleeves that can be tightened at the wrist with an elastic band help shield you against cold winds .
7 . Pockets . Make sure the pockets are sturdy and big enough to keep your hands warm or hold your keys and phone .
Happy shopping !
