I am seriously impressed with the durability of this parka! My neighbour’s friendly dog gave me an enthusiastic greeting the other day. She jumped up for some big hugs and left visible scratches on my new parka. I was at first worried and was so amazed and relieved at how easily the marks were wiped off. This parka is made for real-life (and muddy paws)!

I love the 3/4 coat. I was given complements on the design, felt great.
It's handling the Winnipeg Polar Vortex very nicely. I recommend the products, well made.

I’m really happy with my new YVON coat. It has the right balance of function and style for me. I was pleasantly surprised by how durable the material is considering I ordered it online and had no idea from the photos. It feels almost indestructible but looks so chic. I actually found BEDI after seeing someone wearing one of their raincoats on the Toronto subway, which led me to their website and their philosophy around craftsmanship and quality. I liked how understated it all felt. I liked their focus on doing things well without being in your face about it. The hood took some getting used to since it’s quite protruding when it’s up, but I’ve come to appreciate the coverage it gives. I’d 100% buy another BEDI coat.

I genuinely love this parka. I wore the Bedi slat parka through a recent 60 cm snowstorm and the extended cold snap that has followed, and its performance has been consistently excellent. With only a T-shirt underneath, I was comfortable to −20 °C; with a sweater added, I am confident that the coat will meets its stated −30 °C rating and perhaps function well even beyond. The insulation-to-bulk ratio is exceptionally well judged and counterintuitive at first glance. Your brain doesn't recognize that a coat at this thickness can provide the stated level of warmth.

The Econyl fabric offers a clean, modern aesthetic while still feeling durable and purposeful. It provides the type of unique look that I was hoping for (I ordered online). Details are handled with restraint: the seatbelt strap is subtle, and the angular hem at the cuffs is particularly well considered, providing added protection on the outer side of the wrist without compromising mobility or usability on the inside.

The tall collar stands out for its effectiveness. It cuts wind and offers meaningful coverage, providing a reasonable compromise when worn without a hat, a detail that is often overlooked and rarely executed this well.

I'd be remiss if I didn't also call out the amazing customer service. What started as an initial inquiry regarding sizing evolved into a month's long e-mail exchange with comments flowing both ways.

Overall this is a carefully designed, bullet-proof coat built IN CANADA for CANADIAN WINTERS.

I look forward to considering Bedi again for future purchases.

I bought this jacket at the start of last year (due to "Elbows Up"!) and did not have a chance to use it until this winter. It is a very well-made jacket and keeps me warm even in below 20C weather. I chose this one because of its length; I have two Canada Goose coats, and this Bedi Ansel jacket is at par with those in terms of performance. I like that I can wash this jacket at home and not have to send it to the dry cleaners. I also love that this is made in Canada!

Great coat and warm even on the coldest days and evenings.

Best winter coat I’ve ever owned!
Warm, stylish, durable, terrific value.
Looks great on the street, and in the office.
I don’t have to look like Michelin Man.
I don’t have to wear animal fur.
Hundreds of dollars less than the competition.
Bravo to Inder and the BEDI team!

If you are on the fence on whether to buy this coat. THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO BUY IT. Buy it. Immediately. The minute it came out of the box, the feel in hand was premium luxury. The cut and styling of the coat is refined and elegant - not bulky and ugly. I walked around in the coat in -20 degree Toronto weather, I was cozy and warm. Everything about this jacket was designed for cold weather functionality - pockets are secure and spacious, the zipper is tough but glides easily. That hood is next level cozy without being suffocating. I cannot stress the care and design that went into the coat with intention. The coat is simply brilliant. I will want to highlight, that supporting a Canadian business with ethical and ecologically sound business practices is more important than ever. I bought this jacket sight un-seen and I could not be more thrilled with the quality/value/design of the jacket. The major brands : Canada Goose, Nobis, Arc'Teryx... cannot compare to this fabulous brand.

Ce manteau, que porte mon mari, est cic, moderne et oarfaitement chaud.
Merci aussi pour votre excellent service!
Je vous souhaite prospérité!

Amazing!

I really love this jacket. It looks amazing on - fits well - and is very warm. Durable outer fabric repels water and looks great. Great design and and value. One of the best winter jackets I've ever purchased.

I never write reviews but I am loving my Orsola coat. It's so warm, so sleek. I'm thrilled to have it and have gotten so many compliments. It's the warmest coat I've ever owned - I enjoy going out even on windy days in the winter.

This coat is super well made and the design is well thought out, the pockets and hood are especially nice. It is also very warm, comfortable, and sleek, I have received may compliments on it!

Best winter coat that I’ve ever had. Awesome quality, crazy warm, and very comfortable.

I normally like to have more room in my coats for layering, but took a chance and ordered Small. While it is fitted, there is room to wear a sweater or a lightweight warmup jacket underneath.
I live in Manitoba, in the Canadian prairie, where the north wind can gust strongly and produce windchills below -30c. This jacket keeps me warm as I do not feel the cold at all! It is windproof and the hood is outstanding and stylish. I can wear this coat in the car without sweating and then go out and stay warm. I do not regret this investment and am very pleased with it - I have received positive compliments several times. I am 5’1 and the coat is perfectly knee-length. This is likely the last coat I will ever need to buy - other than replacing it with a BEDI upgrade down the road if something catches my eye!! Thank you so much for producing a perfect coat for our Canadian winters.
