I bought one of these coats about 15 years ago. After a decade of it getting me through Chicago winters, I finally retired it and bought a replacement. So, yes-- the coat is pricey-- but it is well made and it will last long enough to make it worth the money. I have worn this coat so much that I know, just by looking at the weather report, how I wi... Read Morell wear it. Cool, clear fall day in the 50's? Just the inner jacket. Rainy warm spring day?Outer shell. Temperature dipping into the 40's? Maybe with sleet, snow, or "wintery mix?" Then Inner jacket + outer shell (regardless of precipitation, the outer shell makes a great wind break and gives you a bit of extra warmth). Temperature getting into the 30's? Full Coat plus hat & gloves. Into the 20's? Full coat plus hat, gloves, and heavy scarf. Below 20? All of the above plus long underwear.
In Chicago, I basically wear some version of this coat every day from October through April. I'm 5'2" and wear a small. The sleeves hit about an inch below my wrist-- a tiny bit long, but workable. My only complaint is that now that I'm older, and have gained a bit of weight, the coat is tight through the tummy and hips (particularly with layers). For context: under 130 lbs, the coat fit very well. At 135, it was getting snug. Now that I'm around 140, the coat is stretching at the seams. (I wish Patagonia would make this coat in petite sizing. A regular medium fits me in the hips but is way too long in the arms. What I really need is a petite medium).
Pockets are deep enough to hold a regular size cell phone (but not an extra large one). I can also stuff a pair of thin gloves or a beanie into the pockets when needed. The slight tuck at the hips gives the coat a nice feminine shape. One feels a little bit less like a giant walking sleeping bag. (but when you really layer up, or stuff the pockets full, that feeling is hard to avoid no matter what you wear). Great coat. You'll wear it forever. But please, Patagonia, add some petite sizes to your clothing! I am 5'2" and I want to keep wearing your clothes even when I am no longer an XS or S.

Versatile and comfortable
This is my second coat of this style ! I love the 3 in 1 versatility of the coat! Dress rain coat and nice coat for my trip to Norway!
I am writing this after owning the similar Vosque for 5 years, so this is a comparison review. I loved my Vosque and sent it in for repair. Patagonia sent a gear credit back (!! After 5 years even!!), but sadly the Vosque wasnt available in my size. The Tres is what I ended up with and thought it would be a good solution for my only complaint with ... Read Morethe Vosque - that I got cold in the middle of winter (North central Idaho a bit before the panhandle starts). Well, I do believe I solved that issue! And May actually use the 3-in-1 features as a result. The inner coat on the Tres is a lot warmer and may mean I have to remove it during our wet springs.
This may actually prove that I like the look of the Tres less. The inner coat is thicker so the outer coat is larger. This means without the inner coat, the outer one will be bulky. I like that its H2No (the Vosque could get soaked through if it was pouring) and the stretch material may help cut down on the bulkiness, but Im still expecting a rounder profile. This is also true with the inner coat zipped in - my profile isnt as sleek. Theres a reason for it (warmth), but its a thing and worth mentioning. So while reviews say this runs a bit small, Id say it runs true to size. The fit is actually the same as the Vosque, but it feels smaller due to the liner.
The hood needs to be deeper. I loved the hood on the Vosque (have a ponytail? No worries, still got you covered!) and know the Tres hood wont work as well.
5 ft 10 in, 170 lbs and I bought the XL. The L would have been SNUG, but doable. I purchased on Worn Wear, so its the 2018 Tres. Smolder blue is very dark blue-grey. Id say the pics are accurate for *bright* natural light.
I love the fact that the entire Parka was customizable. The hood can be removed and I can style it different between the inner and outer coat. The zippers and clips were well hidden when worn together and works when worn apart. Love the jacket.
After trying on muliple diffenrent coats from several different labels, I eventually chose the Patagonia Tres. I am very very pleased with this coat. It's everything I expected and wanted. Real happy with it!
I've been looking for a coat like this for a long time. Love the versatility. I bought a larger size because I wanted it to fit with sweaters etc. So warm and completely waterproof. Love it!!!
Beautiful coat. Light weight and easy to pack. Not bulky yet nicely warm. The fit is slimline so a bit snug. Blocks the wind and the down inner coat is warm.

This 3-in-1 is just awesome. Its warm, waterproof w shell in on and the liner coat is lightweight and warm for cool southern cal evenings.

Thanks so much for your detailed feedback on the features, function and fabric of this parka, Natalie!

Not warm enough
While this is a lovely looking coat when it comes to fit and style and even the color, this was not warm enough for cold and snowy WI Weather. I also found the inner coat to be too thin, so unfortunately, I need to exchange it for something heavier and warmer and more wind proof.
Hi Sarita, the Tres 3-in-1 Parka is a great option for freezing rain to fluffy snow, but it's not the warmest option we have. We suggest taking a look at or [Women's Downdrift Parka](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html). It's one of our warmest options, made for all winter conditions and prolonged outdoor exposure.

not warm enough for Boulder, CO
i really wanted to love this jacket because of its versatility, but unfortunately i am returning it for a different parka. when i wear both layers, it was not warm enough for Boulder winter because the outer layer is looser and allowed some cold in. when i wore the inner layer only, it was actually warmer because it was a bit more snug, but this la... Read Moreyer is not waterproof and seems like the material is more fragile. in addition, the feathers kept escaping the jacket. i had to size up in order to get the right fit of the inner layer, but it was too big when using it with the outer waterproof layer. in addition, it is bulky and heavy with all the extra zippers and what-not.
Thank you so much for writing this review and we are very sorry to hear that this parka was returned. Please note, feather leakage does tend to happen in items with insulation, if you would like to avoid more feathers from being released we would recommend pulling them back into the fabric to avoid making holes larger. With that said, please rest assured that we will be passing this along to our Product Design Team so they are aware of these issues. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to our [Customer Service Team](https://help.patagonia.com/s/?_gl=1*2ff0ld*_ga*MTQ5ODEyNDA3OS4xNjUyMjExNDc2*_ga_1SYPSJZYJ5*MTY3ODIyMzIyNy40NzYuMS4xNjc4MjIzMjMyLjAuMC4w) with any questions or concerns.

I like this type of
I like this type of coat a lot. I bought a new one because my original is starting to show its age. This one fits a lot smaller. I've been buying Mediums for years and this one runs small. The older one fits the samr so it isn't me. If you want to wear a sweater under it, go up a size if you're purchasing online.
I bought this parka 6 years ago and then a second one this winter for my daughter. The first I bought has much more down in the sleeves and is thus much warmer. That cot still looks and performs like the day I bought it. With this years version my arms get cold. Disappointed that quality is not the same.
The Dusky Brown color is pretty and it's stylish. But I found the jacket stiff, tighter than a regular M, and not warm enough for winter Oregon weather. The Down With It parka is much warmer but I want a water-repellent jacket--so returned Tres and am trying out the Jackson Glacier jacket.
Absolutely love the Tres 3 in 1. Love to use this on the cold/wet days of winter. Just enjoyed this parka on a chilly trip to Northern Europe and it was the perfect parks for the cold conditions. I was dry and very toasty. Love the design of having 3 options in 1 parka.
I bought this even though I only live in SF and dont really need a heavy coat. However, it was on sale and its been cold here lately. I love it - its just the right length to keep my butt warm and is rain proof. Ive gotten a lot of compliments on it already. And the price actually went down after I bought it and I got a price adjustment!!
So Climate change is now upon us. It is now colder and wetter than since the 80s.. but now it seems to be even colder. Wind chill does not help with the cold, it just makes it colder outside. I love the cold because I get to wear coats and scarves, however it has been so cold that my legs are freezing as well. My long coat is not made for the cold ... Read Morerain storms and as a result I looked to getting this coat. The price point is high and I was looking for a sale. Once the sale was on I was all over getting this coat. This is one of many Patagonia coats I have. The liner jacket is so nice and warm, the h2no repels water beautifully, it just beads off the coat. In addition I love the longer length. It keeps the tops of my legs nice and dry like the rest of me. I absolutely love this coat and will give this plenty of use.
I loved this jacket and the color. Unfortunately, it just didn't work for my body. It was too big in the shoulders and the sleeves were way too long. So much so that I don't think sizing down would have made a difference. And for a coat this pricey, it has to be perfect. I wish Patagonia had petite sizes!
Thank you for sharing this feedback, Megan. Our Customer Service Team will be happy to help you with specific measurements for any garment you're interested in, so you can feel more confident about how it will fit. In the meantime, we're glad to see you're returning a parka that wasn't going to make you happy!

Best Coat, Ever
I bought this coat for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it! "This is the best coat I've ever owned". We live in northern Minnesota were the temperatures frequently drop well below zero and she said she's never felt warmer or more comfortable outside. Thank you Patagonia for all your hard work and dedication to those of us ... Read Morewho enjoy the extremes :)
I nearly always wear an XS in Patagonia, but O ordered and XS in this jacket and wearing a flannel shirt and light sweater underneath, the sleeves cut off the circulation in my arms! It's a nice design and it seems as though it would be functional, but the Patagonia coat sizing befuddles me. I ordered an XS in the women's Great Falls park... Read Morea and it was so large that it fit my 5' 10" father perfectly! He's got really broad shoulders, too. It would be really helpful if sizing was more consistent across the coats. I understand that I'm talking about two different styles, but a "fitted" cut vs. a "roomy" cut should not be that far apart.
Hey Amantha, thanks for the review. We carry our parkas and jackets in a few different kinds of fits: form fitting, slim, regular and relaxed. The fit has less to do with your actual size and more with how you'd like the garment to sit on the body. You can check the fit of any item by looking underneath the size range options on the product page. If you ever need garment measurements, feel free to reach out to our [customer service team](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) and we'd be happy to provide those to you.

Light yet incredibly warm and windproof
I bought this coat primarily for its nice sleek looks and did not have expectations for it to be warm during the peak of winter, especially because the down layer was so thin, plus I read a few reviews that this coat is no match for winter in New England.

In regards to size, I am hourglass figure and short - this jacket fits my arms without needing to roll the sleeves and hits me right above the knee. Its also super flexible so I feel snug but not movement constructed.
Fits snug not bulky. Good range of motion of arms. Perfect length. Love that I get 3 coats in one since I live in southeast Texas but travel to northwest Arkansas & Kansas City frequently.
I got this coat thinking it would be warmer than my 300. coat. Its not warmer. It was raining and snowing the other night I wore it because its an H2no. I was freezing in it. It says it keeps you warm in sub zero degrees. There are no hand warmers in the pockets. Its super cute on just not warm enough for Reno NV. Lovely coat.
Studying abroad needed a good coat to accommodate 3 "seasons"-this was perfect!! Snow, rain spring weather. So many compliments and it has kept me warm! Highly recommend.
The parka insert smells kinda funny, almost like BO? Im assuming its the parka stuffing and I need to figure out how to air it out.. I normally wear a medium/large, but Im very glad I sized up! My broad shoulders fit snugly in the parka insert and I can wear a bulky sweater underneath when they are connected. The sleeves and length of the coat are ... Read Moregreat on my height! It can definitely fit lengthwise on a taller frame too! It seems great and a little warm for my Oregon winter, so hopefully itll be perfect for my move to DC!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review David! We also want to apologize for the odor you are smelling from your insulation piece. Please feel free to give that specific portion of your jacket a wash in warm to cold water with light detergent.

Not a good buy at all
I bought this jacket after I ordered the downdrift parka (hated the downdrift) so I was super excited to try this one instead. WRONG. I was so disappointed of the fit, the weight & warmth.

As someone who has newly moved to New England from Florida, I was looking for a jacket that would keep me warm in sub 30 degree F weather on my walk to class.

The new design ruins the fit!
I have worn and loved this coat for 10 years, but when I went to repurchase it, the new design changes made the arms just too tight enough that I can't bend my elbows fully, even when wearing only one thin shirt underneath. The next larger size has an arm length that is just too long so that the cuffs extend too far down my hands to be able to... Read More work with them. I'm heartbroken! No other model has the terrific warmth, the sleek lines that make this formal work-appropriate and flattering, and the waterproof outer shell making it all-winter versatile. Even competitor brands don't seem to make a product that can serve as a substitute. If you have arms that are either very thin or extra long, you're going to love this coat.
This is the perfect jacket for me; long enough to keep my thighs warm, water and wind proof, warm 700 down fill, ability to zip from the bottom to allow more mobility if needed, 3 in 1 design to accommodate the weather conditions, slim and flattering fit for slender bodies, adjustable hood and nice looking! It might be pricey, but well worth it!
I contemplated buying this jacket for 4 years based on all the reviews, and have bought countless Patagonia outerwear for my family and myself over the past 8 years.

I purchased this jacket for my first winter back in the Midwest after living in Florida for a few years. It is super warm but what I love best is it has a great feminine fit. Most warm coats make you look like a marshmallow but not this one!

The coat is definitely slim fit and looks sleek and not bulky even though it's a 2 layered coat.

It's truly amazing. It's also easy to take on and off if you are in a hurry. It's really warm and I wear a short and long sleeved shirt under it, and that's it. It's 100% worth it. I normally wear a S but I had to return the S and exchange for an M for this coat because it is truly slimfit. I do have large chest and this also made a difference in taking the M instead.
I bought this coat for my daughter, who is a college freshman. She attends a college in Michigan. Go Blue! The outer shell breaks the blustery wind, while the puffer coat keeps her so cozy and warm. In the spring, she can use the outer shell for rainy walks to class. It was so worth the investment.
I've been eyeing this coat for the past 4 years after reading rave reviews year after year. Finally got it this season and I am sorely disappointed.

Incredibly comfortable and warm coat
After years of not having a proper winter coat, I finally caved and bought this one from Patagonia. It is the BEST investment I've ever made in outerwear. So comfortable, really flattering cut, and it keeps me warm and dry when riding my bike in the freezing Amsterdam weather. I couldn't be happier with this product!
I purchased the parka last month only so I can’t attest to its long term use but so far I’m very happy. I like that there isn’t a huge brand name on it so you don’t walk around like an advertisement. Definitely size up. I’m M on top and L at the bottom and got an XL because I like parkas a bit roomy. It fits great. It’s cosy in cold and very humid ... Read Moreclimates.

I have worn all 3 options over the past year: just the down for cold but dry days, the shell for any kind of cool-to-warm wet days, and both together for the kind of cold (feels like 8 degrees F) with whipping wind that we're experiencing now. The hood ... Read Moreis roomy--enough to accomodate a wool hat underneath--but doesn't gape when I need to wear it for rain in spring or summer. I bought a small based on reading reviews since I definitely wanted to wear bulky sweaters, and I'm glad I did. I'm 5'2" and around 120 pounds. The sleeves are a bit long (this is true of nearly all my long-sleeved clothing) and the hem hits me just above the knee (unlike the 5'9" models in the photos). I don't think either of these things is a big deal; I'm actually glad for the longer coverage on my legs. The coat fit is slim and flattering (no weird puffy optics). I agree with other reviewers that a couple more pockets would be welcome. The green is gorgeous!
Gorgeous green colour, quality parka. I love the three in one, making the coat suitable for warmer, wetter and colder days! The zip opening from both sides meant that it was also suitable for cycling (Dutch style bike where you sit up straight) which is essential to me.

I love it that one can hardly see the brand name. I am normally a small and size 10UK and the fit was accurate with some room for thick jumpers.

I started by ordering last years model on clearance in an M. I am 5'8", 155 pounds, pear shaped, very narrow shoulders, small bust, but strong hips 36-30-41. I generally wear a S or M in Patagonia shirts and dresses. The M fit beautifully through waist and hips but were too snug around my shoulders and arms where I had a limited range of ...

I love the pocket, adjustable hood, and zipper cover. Material seems rugged. It is not the warmest coat I've ever owned, in fact it is less warm than the parka it's replacing, which is a little disappointing due to the cost. I am glad I did not pay full price. I wore it last night walking the dog in ~30 degree temps with thin long sleeve under it and felt some chill through the arms. Thankfully with the large I'll have room to layer. The quality, functionality, and look of the coat are top notch, so I'll be keeping it. Just wish it were a hair warmer for New England winters.
Many pockets.. hidden pockets within pockets that can result in mass chaos and confusion if not thoroughly explored prior to use. Lost my car keys for 45 minutes in a particular secretive yet surprisingly cavernous pocket. Also warm. Highly recommend
This jacket is perfect! As someone who is very tall and not the most proportionate it still fits me great! The sleeves were long enough and it still fit as a long jacket despite my height
Very well made, very warm, beautiful, comfortable.
Suggestions for future designs: 1. Add a hood zipper to both coats so that the detachable hood could be worn with either coat separately. 2. Add an inside pocket to both coats.
Absolutely LOVE this coat!!!
Tried to downsize our wardrobe and got this for my wife as a gift to cover several end uses. She normally wears a medium but this fits well in a large. She loved the coat and wears it constantly, great purchase!
Bought for a trip to Antarctica in the spring but think I will be wearing it all the time. It's a great coat. I am only 5'2" but the length is fine on me. Ridiculously warm with the down layer on Love it.
I was getting this confused with my other coat the Frozen Range 3 in 1. It's not as thick as that coat and the seams on the inside puffer are different but still a great coat. Try it!
I love this jacket. I'm glad I tried it on before purchasing online. I'm usually a M/L and I was for sure a large in this jacket especially because I wear sweaters and bulky clothes underneath.

I love the 3-in-1 layering, which means I can adjust it to suit the temps. Honestly, I don't have anything negative to say about this jacket. It has been worth the investment.
Great coat, great color (red is more of a berry) I love that the coat fit close to the body and i have great freedom of movement. I bought the coat for playing with my kids, dog and hiking. I would not wear this coat dead of winter in the north east but great when its in the 40s/ 50s.
My issue is the sleeves are too short. This is a common problem... Read More for me so its not a complete shock. There is another well made brand that covers the sleeve issue so I was hopeful here.. my first time buying patagonia.
Im 58, 125lbs.. narrow shoulders.. x small tops, size 2 bottoms.
I purchased this product in a large and found it was incredibly tight. I usually wear a medium jacket from Patagonia, so I was surprised, but I returned it and received a large, which fits like my medium in another style. I wish I'd sized up by two sizes from the beginning, but I adore the style and warmth of this jacket.
I live in the Pacific Northwest with lots of rainfall from early fall all the way to June and days when we don't get out of the '40s, maybe not even out of the 30s. I purchased this for primarily for dog walking, or city park trail walking, with friends and that pace is slow enough to require real water proof coverage to a parka length. A... Read Moren hour in 40 degree weather with a light drizzle and nippy breeze can be downright unpleasant if one is not well dressed for the occasion. The down lining is especially nice because it is purpose made to fit the shell. Since the down lining may be removed it extends the use of the shell for those times when down would be too warm. I really like it.
The only thing which would enhance it in my opinion is a bright, highly visible color. Yellow, orange? Black and dark colors are too muted for traffic safety in our climate. One bit of luck with regard to the color - Basin Green was available only in Slim Fit, which is perfect because Large is too large!
Great product. Super comfortable and true to size. Only improvements would include a pockets! Specifically, a larger pocket in the top left inner puffy and pockets in the inner pockets on the sides for more storage.
I love this and lucked out as I got it on sale. It has a slim fit, as described. The chicory color is lovely and the inner down coat is a slightly different color which is a bonus. I hope to move back to Vermont this year and I think it'll be really useful there.
I replaced my 8 year old Tres Parka with a new one and am disappointed by the drastic change in quality. My previous coat was sturdy and I never had any issues with comfort or quality. The new version feels cheaper. The pocket liners are thin and you can feel the zippers inside. The bottom zipper clicks with every step. If you zip the coat all the ... Read Moreway up the zippers that connect the inner and outer coats together jab into your chin to the point where its painful. I am concerned the inner liner with tear with just normal use.
I am worried this new version won't last even half the time my previous version did. The fit is still the same which I like as well as the style and length. The much lower level of quality is what concerns me.
This jacket is beautiful. It fits really well, although just a bit snug around the hips. I am usually between a small and XS and was glad I went with the small. 120lb, 5'3". I've taken it out in light precip and it's been great, I haven't gotten to test it in a real storm yet. It's easy to walk in but yet provides grea... Read Moret coverage. Even for a short person the length is perfect. The red color is gorgeous. My only complaint is the collar could be just a little wider and taller to allow for a fleece neck gaiter more comfortably.
I first purchased a large but it was a bit tight. This XL feels really comfortable and the right fit. I wore the jacket in the rain and our was very effective!
This jacket is very fitted/slim cut so it fits smaller than sized. It worked perfect for me because I have wider shoulders and am between sizes. Jacket does its job worn as shell, just the inner thin puffy, or together. Ideal for PacNW chilly, drizzly weather.
Love the look of the coat. For subzero days plus windchill it does OK. For the price though the zipper should have a cover and not be touching my bare neck and wish the inside jacket sleeves had an extended hobo section for hand coverage (the substantially cheaper coat I replaced had both of those).
I absolutely love the style and shape of this jacket, but the size runs absurdly small. I usually wear a size medium, but I sized up to a large so I could comfortably wear a sweatshirt underneath it. Unfortunately, the jacket is incredibly small.

Great Coat
Runs a little small, i saw a friend wearing it and i asked to try, good thing i did, i would have gotten my usual M, overall i highly recommend it because it is so warm, i only need to wear a shirt in the middle of winter underneath and i am still warm
Love the maroon color of outer shell and overall fit of the jacket. But with both layers of coat together and dressed for winter, it is a bit sung. Wearing the puffy by itself is very form fitting, a bit too much for my liking for a winter jacket. I am glad I got the large, as sometimes I am a med. in Patagonia gear. But seems good quality and will... Read More keep me warm and dry in the elements of New England.
This is a great and versatile coat. I've used all 3 combinations -inner coat, outer coat and both coats- with great satisfaction. It is 100% worthy of the cost. This coat can take you through the shoulder seasons as well and the winter months.
Elegant (I receive many compliments), warm, and totally waterproof. With the liner in, the parka works from 50 degrees to single digits. (A good Irish sweater helps.) I use public transportation, so I am out in this parka in all weather. The fit changes every few years...the current slim fit is by far the most flattering.
The one drawback (and, at ... Read Morethis price, it is serious) is that the fabric does not hold up at "wear" spots...where your arm rubs the pocket, where your nylon bag rubs the shoulder seam. After one year, these "wear" spots were turning white; after almost three years they are wearing through. (This does not happen with my Vosque parka, which has provided good service for eight years.) This is very un-ecological, because the rest of the parka still looks great.
Thank you for sharing this feedback, Helen. It's very helpful to our product development team, who read these reviews. In the meantime, as you probably know, if these spots become a problem you can return the parka under our warranty.

Exactly what I was looking for! Super warm
I am usually a small but needed to size up with this coat. It is very fitted so I sized up to be able to wear a fleece underneath. Its perfect and very warm!
This definitely is a slim fit. I ordered my usual size and can comfortably zip the coat up over a thick hoodie, but it definitely hugs in the shoulders and hips. If you plan to wear bulky clothes underneath, I would recommend ordering a size up. Also, while the color is nice it is not as it appears in the picture; the chicory red is more burgundy/p...

I was hesitant to order true to size based on other reviews but I went wit... Read Moreh my normal size and it fits great!
I would love to keep this jacket but given that it is slim fit (which I didn't realize upon purchasing online) I will have to sadly return/exchange it. It is very durable and warm but it is so tight in the shoulder and arm.

Very warm . Great fit
Only down coat that doesn't look too puffy. Get lots of complements on the fit and style. Great coat
I love the fact that it has multiple layers. Super cold days, use all layers and attachments. If you need a coat to go a little more casual, take off the hood and insert.
It is snug in the hips. So...if you have that pear shape body, keep that in mind.
Fantastic quality coat, but more of a slim fit than hoping for
I gave this coat 4 stars because it really is excellent quality and seems like it would be very warm and I love the versatility of a 3-in-1 parka.

It just wound up looking like I had a coat on that was too small, even though I sized up in consideration of the slim fit and it had plenty of room inside still. If I was just wearing this over something lightweight, it would be perfect. For me personally I found that I prefer a looser fit to allow room for bulky layers, but if a slim fit is more your style this is an excellent option. I also love that this shell is made of recycled material and recycled down.
Researched the options that would keep me warm and were below the hips, tolerant of rain and snow and allowed movement, I am a DD cup and often between Patagonia large and XL.

Please consider increasing the outside pockets and have an inside pocket. Very sad that it runs small and long arms so returned it instead of getting an extra large.
I really wanted to like this jacket, but the "fitted" style makes its utility extremely limited. I purchased an xs (the rep in the store confirmed it was the right fit for me).

I love this coat. It's not bulky to wear around in my every day commute, but it's super warm. It is definitely a slim fit as described. I'm a medium and this is a slim medium. Still worked well, just occasionally gets tight if I have bulk layers underneath. This coat is a game changer after years of wear a North Face parka.
I have a long torso and love the length of this jacket. I appreciate that I can wear the outer piece on it's own and it is still really warm, but then I can add in the puffy jacket to make a super-coat! So warm and comfortable! Such a great purchase!
I was looking for a warm jacket that wasnt bulky for my commute to work, this fits the bill! I ordered a large first and it was just a little too snug. Exchanging for the size up was quick and easy.
My favorite coat ever! Moved to Northern Oregon, and needed a coat that was both warm and waterproof. This is the best coat I've ever owned for both those weather conditions. Tested it out with our first snow, and actually had to take off the sweater I had on underneath, and just wear my tee shirt. I also wore it on a long walk in the rain wit...

The rain never even penetrated through the fabric. I originally bought the SM, based on the size chart measurements, but it was way too tight. I'm 5'2" and 110lbs, and had to exchange it for a MED, which fits perfectly for me. I would recommend this coat to anyone in wet/cold weather. LOVE IT!!!
This is very warm but does run a bit small around the waist. Arms fit well and length is good! Very good quality! I tried a larger size but it was too big! Overall would recommend!
Super warm parka without being too big or bulky. Sleeves are a bit long but generally fits very well. Pity that the waterproof layer has no inside pocket when worn without the down jacket.
My husband bought me this coat in chicory red for Christmas and I absolutely love it! The coat looks absolutely gorgeous on! It is currently snowing and 25° in Chicago. I just came in from shoveling and Im toasty warm and dry! Couldnt be more pleased!
I have been searching for a warm, down coat with a flattering cut for 2 years. I work in sales, and I wanted a coat that I could wear to accounts and still look professional.

This is a wonderfully warm parka. However, I never wear it. The sleeves are too long, covering my hands. There is no way to snug it in at the wrists. I prefer not to roll back the cuff for 3 inches. I should have returned it.

Beautiful coat
I love this coat! I bought the chikoree red with rosehip down jacket. The colors are beautirful and I get lots of compliments. It probably runs true to size but if you like to layer like me I would pick the next size up. Otherwise love it!
Have owned a Tres Parka since 2012 and it's still going strong! It's been my commuting coat, shoveling slush coat, and now hiking coat. It's been able to handle any weather that lands in New England. Highly recommend!
This was the best jacket I could find that met my requirements for PNW winters - warm and waterproof. So far it seems to be nice and waterproof, but the down liner layer is not constructed very well. It has been losing feathers since I unpacked it from the box and I just wear it for light walks. I have not tried washing it yet but Im concerned abou... Read Moret how well it will hold up. At that price point, I would expect much better quality and durability. My mom has the same jacket from a few years ago and hers does not have that issue, so Im not sure if there has been a change with how its manufactured. I will continue to try it for a few months, but if it continues to lose feathers Im going to have to return it. I like wearing the liner layer by itself when Im at work and it looks bad when it has lots of tiny feathers poking out of it.
Hi Erica, thank you for sharing your experience with this parka. We’re sorry to hear the liner is having issues!

Perfect for College and Urban Environments!
I bought this jacket for the winter in college in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I love this jacket, I am 5'5 and 140 pounds and I got a medium. It hits me right at the knees. It has a very flattering cut with many features that are useful like interior pockets and fleece lining for the neck. It is easy to take on and off for class and layer under ... Read Moreneath. I wish the hood had a little more warmth but I use a beanie for extra warmth. The versatility is also great, the rain jacket comes off and attaches very easily.

I live in St. Louis and it gets damp, windy, and cold here. I wear this to walk my dog and using it to replace the older style wool dress coat when I go out. The size Large allows me to wear a sweatshirt/sweater/fleece beneath and still feel comfortable which was my goal. I tried several different Patagonia coats and for my build some fit better as... Read More a medium and others as a large. This style is size large for reasons above. I'm fuller on the top and thick through the middle, with slim hips. It's nice and sleek looking. So far I've only worn it a few times since it's late Fall. The first time was cold & windy outside and I had not worn a fleece beneath (intentionally to test how warm I feel in it) and I felt cold and was disappointed. So the next time it was I put that fleece on and was toasty! Just like I expected. On non-windy days I don't need the fleece and feel very comfortable. I've yet to wear it during snow but I expect it to work as designed. I love the length especially on windy days, and the arm length is a little passed my wrists which keeps me warm too. The hood is great too and fits over my knit cap comfortably. I Love it! And did I say it looks great?! :)
I love this jacket. I got the burgundy and love the color. It fits true to the sizing chart and is sufficiently warm and water resistant. The only problem is that the inside puff jacket shows dirt VERY easily and seems to be a magnet for it. I have had it for 2 weeks and already washed it four times. Each time I wear it it seems to get a stain on t... Read Morehe chest area and/or around the hood or pockets. Very annoying!

Have returned because too form-fitting
I am returning this product for a refund because it runs too narrow for me. I like this product very much but wish it came in a version that was less form-fitting. I need the jacket to fit loosely enough to be able to layer a sweater underneath.
its a very nice looking coat and very warm, pleased about that but it only comes in a slim fit so its very snug, no extra holiday pounds allowed. Once zipped up its sharp looking, I hae not taken the lining jacket out yet bit imagine it will fit a little more comfortable without it, but then wont be as warm.
My daughter is studying abroad in Spain and needed a coat 3:1 and it is perfect for traveling.
She loves it because it keeps her warm and great for rainy days and just cool days.
Thank you
Purchased this coat for a weeklong trip to Iceland (avg 17 degree weather, cutting wind, snow and rain). Just the outer shell, long sleeved shirt and thermal top was all I wore everyday. Made seeing the Northern lights a breeze. SN: I am not accustomed to those type of weather conditions, but I had no issues with being cold!!
Pricy but on par with other coats, better versatility/sleek look. Good coverage/length, nice tailoring/details (cuffs on the sleeves, no bulky interrior zipper) WATERPROOF, resiliant outer material (no snags by brush yet). 5'6, 135lbs athletic build, small snug, keeping the medium.
We appreciate your thoughtful and detailed feedback, Leigh! This parka is a "slim" fit design, so some customers prefer to size up if you're in-between sizes and would like more room to layer. With great [product care](https://www.patagonia.com/repairs/#product-care) and storage, this coat should last you for years to come! Please reach out to our Customer Service team if you have any questions or concerns.
This parka was a birthday gift, in my usual size, M. But although the coat looked great, it was too small to even wear a sweater under it. So I exchanged it for a L. The exchange process was seamless and the phone person was excellent. The size large fits better but now the sleeves are too long.. (I am 52, 120lbs)
This coat seems to have a fit mode... Read Morel as a slim-hipped woman of slightly larger bust size.
I will keep this size; I find it is very warm and comfortable. Will figure out a way to deal with the sleeves!
We're glad to hear you were able to exchange the size easily, Patricia!

Fits tight!
I should have listened to people who said it was a tight fit. I thought a medium would be ok if a little snug, but I should have bought a large. Size up!
Being only 5 FT has its challenges . The length was too long, sleeves were long. The neck cover went over half my face. Loved everything else about the coat but I had to send it back.
I am very happy with this coat. It is so warm and the extra layer has a slight stretch to the fabric that ensures you can move in it comfortably. I love the fit. I am normally a M but ordered the L so I could wear bulky sweaters underneath comfortably. Plenty of room but doesnt feel bulky.
I purchased this in Lake Tahoe because I was so cold- best looking, warmest parka Ive ever owned. Purchased again-this time for my daughter-shes thrilled with the fit and comfort.
Great quality, super warm, looks sleek and polished.
I got the reddish color and love it. I dont think you can go wrong with any of the colors. (I ordered the slate grey too which is beautiful but kept the red bc more cheerful in gloomy Midwest winter)
Small fits perfect. Im 132lbs 57 and 32C.
The coat is so warm. Blocks wind which is key. So thankful to have it. Love that its 3 coats in 1. Highly ... Read Morerecommend! I find the hood to be just fine. I use it with and without a hat. (Unsure about helmet fitting)
I really like the fit of this jacket because it helps keep femininity to a usually puffy, multi layer winter getup accommodating Midwest winters. The reason for the 3 star review is I started wearing the jacket in fall, without the down insert and I was shocked that I needed to wear a sweatshirt so my shoulders didnt feel the wind coming through th... Read Moree seams. It was a very windy day for errands, but only my shoulders were cold (which has never happened to me before with any jacket). I wanted this jacket for fall, winter and spring, but the seams, at least around the shoulder area, allow too much wind/air to come through without another thicker layer underneath. Im keeping the jacket because I removed the tag, work from home and also have other jackets to wear in fall/spring, but for this price point and wind resistent description, I expected it to be just that without the down insert. It dropped the ball on wind resistance along the shoulder seams. I realize this is an odd review, but I cant get over how drafty the shoulder area is when I dont use the down insert or layer up.
I purchased a small originally but it was too small and the medium fits just right. This jacket is very warm and totally bomb proof. Perfect for my needs!
This is my 2nd Tres ( been wearing one for several years) my one complaint is that the hood is way too small/unusable. I can not fit a warm hat under it and if I put the hood on it actually pulls the whole coat up so my neck is carrying the weight of the coat. I am considering returning the new coat and looking elsewhere because of this. Other wise... Read More the coat is wonderful. It would make me so happy if Patagonia made the hood suitable for casual use (dont need to put a helmet over this hood)
Hey Jude, thank you for leaving us a review on the Tres 3-in-1 Parka. We've taken your feedback on the hood and have passed it along to our design team for further evaluation. We recommend checking out the [Women's Frozen Range 3-in-1 Parka](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-frozen-range-3-in-1-parka/27981.html?dwvar_27981_color=BLK&cgid=root). Not only is it our warmest parka available, it also has a longer hood height than the Tres.

Really warm Coat
Bought the redish color. Good quality coat. The material has a worn/washed out look up close. The coat was expensive. Not sure if I am going to keep it.
I’m so glad I got this coat! It’s warm, stylish and looks sophisticated. I got the size M, and it’s a bit snug with the down liner jacket but L would probably be too big without it.
I was conflicted on whether or not the Frozen Rage or the Tres was the right winter coat for me. I live in Boston and walk to work most days so at first I thought the warmer the better and ordered the Frozen range. It was very warm but I think too large and warm for my needs. I LOVE my Tres! It is very sharp looking and professional for work and cr... Read Moreazy warm for my winter walks to work. 10/10 would recommend to a friend looking to get a new winter coat! Get it!
This is by far the best winter coat I've owned in my 40 years. I am 5'9", 135lbs and the medium fits like a glove. It looks very slim and sleek and is beyond comfortable. Living in MA, this coat is a must have for keeping warm on the frigid days.
I liked the look of the jacket all together. Price is high because it separates to two jackets. Fit of these separate jackets was very awkward. I will be returning.
Thank you for your thoughts on our Women's Tres 3-in-1 Parka. We'd like to clarify that the warmth and versatility of this parka are what dictate it's price. It's one of the warmest parkas we offer and the windproof/waterproof shell make it highly adaptable for a variety of conditions. We're sorry to hear that the fit was off for you.

I think I got a dud.
I tried this jacket on in person at the Patagonia store in downtown Seattle. The medium fit like a glove but they didn't have the color I wanted so I placed an order and had it shipped to my house. I was overly eager when it arrived and removed the tags and started wearing it right away. And then I noticed the issue the front pockets on the ou... Read Moreter shell are not like the version I tried in the store. They pucker up and do not lay flat in the seam. I'm frustrated because I spent a lot of money on this jacket and I have a lot of Patagonia products and expect higher quality from them. I'm not entirely sure what to do. This jacket is amazing and if you get one that doesn't have this design issue, it's worth the cost. But if you are going to buy this, definitely try it on in-person or check your over thoroughly before wearing.
We are incredibly sorry about this, Whitney! Please know you are always welcome to [exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) an item if it does not perform the way you'd like! If you need any assistance with making that exchange, please feel free to reach out to our [Customer Service](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) and they will be more than happy to help.
I live in Chicago, next to the lake where it is especially cold and windy during the winter. For about 8 years I used the Downtown Loft Parka and loved it. But with age, I became less tolerant of the wind, and this was the perfect replacement. I originally purchased a size small. At the time I was 120 lbs, and pant size 4/6. I then gained about 25 ... Read Morelbs, and my pant size went to 8/10. I sold my small, and bought the same coat in medium. I have been so happy with it. I have a 20 min walk to work, and it has been perfect even during the most recent polar vortex. During this walk, I was wearing a t-shirt and my coat, hat and gloves. No scarf, no other layers. It was -20 degree wind chill, snowing in all directions. The coat kept me warm and dry. I had also tried on the Frozen Range Parka, but I liked the fit for Tres Parka a little more, and found the hood for the Frozen Range too overwhelming.
If you have an opportunity to try it on, I would recommend trying on the jacket all zipped together, and then the outer shell and inner shell separately. My only complaint is that the inner shell alone is a little too tight. When all zipped together fits great, and the outer shell alone fits great. I had this issue with both the small and medium size. Despite this, I've been very happy with my purchase.
I love this coat. I was hesitant to spend this much money. I actually order one for my husband. Its been really cold in the east coast and it really keep me warm, but I keep finding feathers and couldnt figure it where they were coming from. I. Found a couple of tiny holes. For the money Id expect to be perfect.
I bought this for my daughter for her birthday! She loves it!! She lives in Denver and this has been light weight and comfortable without being bulky. Yu our have future customer!
Bought this coat as a gift for my wife. According to the website, she should have worn a medium, but the coat either runs small or she was on the upper edge for the size. No matter, I was able to exchange for the correct size and she loves it. Living in the South, it is not extremely cold, but she really loves the outer shell on those rainy winter ... Read Moredays.
The sales associate at the downtown Patigonia store who helped me choose this coat was absolutely correct in their recommendation that this is the best coat for Seattle. It keeps me warm and dry while spending hours outside daily with my kids (2 & 4yo) in the chilly wet Seattle winter weather.
Today we got an unusual heap of snow (~8) in town... Read More and it performed just as well in the snow as the rain.
The coat also blocks the wind well, the hand warming pockets are excellent and I love the adjustable hood. The extra length of this coat vs. a jacket style is perfect and definitely keeps me warmer and drier. I like that I can zip or button from the top or bottom. I love the cut of the coat, it is flattering in addition to being a very practically constructed coat. I got the coat in a lovely deep reddish purple color. With how grey and dark it is in Seattle winter, this extra color makes me happy. It can be hard to find a coat of this quality in any colors besides grey or black.
I imagine that when the weather warms in the Spring being able to separate the shell from the puffy interior coat with give excellent options for a lighter coat.
I will say though, when I wore just the shell for a vigorous hike that I wish it had some vents because considerable perspiration built up inside the coat. It isnt an issue when Im just hanging out with my young kiddos which is what I mostly do. I also wish that the shell coat had an interior pocket like the puffy interior coat does. I like to have a spot to tuck my phone/wallet so that my hands are free inside the exterior hand warmer pockets. Other than these two relatively minor things, the coat is perfection and I couldnt be happier.
Patagonia is tops for thoughtfully considered, well made, excellently designed gear. I appreciate how ethical the company is about making gear that will last and is committed to using recycled, ecologically minded materials and practices. The coat was expensive but it should last and I like investing in a company that cares about people and the planet. Thank you!
My husband gifted me this coat because he knows I love Patagonia's commitment to fair trade/recycled gear and it has not disappointed--we live in Minnesota, with sub-10 weather at times (like now!) and I am always warm. The one thing I would improve on this coat is the closure at front...it's pretty stiff and I haven't found a way to... Read More wear it comfortably other than unzipped to my chest.
Also wish the liner coat came with a hood so the combined hood was warm enough to wear year-round!
This coat is just what I was looking for: warm enough to keep me happy on a snowy hillside when I'm not exercising much. I usually wear a large from Patagonia and it is a roomy fit. It has lots of nice features like great pockets and a heavy hood. It's too warm for most exercise. The outer coat should be a good raincoat in the spring, sum... Read Moremer, and fall. I should mention that one reason I'm so happy about it is that I got it from a web special. Full price is kind of an ouch.
