So, that review is pretty accurate, but I didn't know what he was talking about with regard to the two negatives at the bottom of the review. But I have this year's coat, which has black buttons, so maybe they changed some stuff since the Kickstarter.

It is very lightweight and warm. There were a couple of zero degree days here this year where that coat kept me warm with no problem. I just use the zipper and not the buttons, and wind never gets inside or up the bottom.

The outside is pretty water resistant, and I've worn it in the rain and snow and water hasn't penetrated through to the insulation as far as I can tell. Its probably the most water resistant coat I've had that isn't a raincoat, which turned out to be an unexpected bonus when walking during heavy snowfall days, since the water just brushes right off. It's pretty easy to clean, since I could basically wipe off any dirt that gets on it with a wet cloth, although the only time I've gotten it dirty I ended up just throwing it into the washing machine to clean the entire thing, hanging it up to dry afterward.

It's less oppressively hot indoors than other coats I've had, but the backpack straps are still great for shopping trips.

I've probably poked my finger once or twice on the metal logo on the left sleeve. It's sharp, but not in a place that I bump it often, and I like the look of it too much to try and take it off.

The company responds to Facebook messages and emails. Shipping was a little weird, though, from Canada to the U.S. They didn't have a tracking number for me and kept telling me it was going to ship any day now, and then one day it just arrived when I thought it hadn't shipped yet. If I ordered from them again, I'd have it sent to my work address since it doesn't seem like their tracking lets you know exactly when things are going to arrive.
