Lands’ End has joined forces with the National Coalition for the Homeless for the Big Warm-up. The Big Warm-up provides an opportunity for people across the nation to donate a gently used coat that will then go on to warm one of more than 3.5 million homeless women, men and children in the United States right now – each facing a cold winter.

Beginning October 29 until November 30, Lands’ End is hosting Big Warm-up coat donation sites at its 252 Lands’ End Shops at Sears and 13 Lands’ End Inlets®. Donated coats will be distributed via the National Coalition for the Homeless in communities nearby. AND… Lands’ End is giving 20 percent off the purchase of a new coat for each one donated.

Visit www.BIGWARMUP.COM to see how each coat can warm a heart, track donations, find donation sites, watch an inspiring video and spread the word.

I was asked to do this review for Lands End and it came at the prefect time. I was in the market for a boy’s coat. My oldest son was in need of coat this year as the one he had been using became too small. When this opportunity came to me I could not pass up the chance. My son loves this Parka and thinks the colors are really cool ( He has the exact one pictured). He also likes it because it is warm and the hat covers his head and face fully. I love it because it’s waterproof and truly well made. It felt really warm and comfortable. It has a lot of pockets and there is one especially for an MP3 player. Another thing I like about this Parka is the fact that it covers you all the way to your waist.

Here is some more information that I found on the Lands End website:
· TEMPERATURE RATING: -10°/35° Fahrenheit learn more
· Windproof, 3-ply nylon shell, with DriOff™ finish
· Toasty 300-weight fleece lining
· Adjustable cuffs lock out the elements
· 360° reflective trim for better visibility
· Cargo pockets outside, MP3 player pocket with cord port inside
· Waist cinches with an interior bungee
· Attached hood won't get lost
· Parka length hits below the hip for more coverage

Right now it’s on sale for $59.50; the regular price is $69.50. I wish I could get more for my other 3 kids. I guess we will have to see I can buy 3 of these Parka’s. Its available in 6 colors for boy's and 6 colors for girls. I would recommend these Parka’s to any parent, not only are they available for boys but they have some really pretty ones for girls. Maybe if I get some for my girls and one for my toddler I will do another review on the girls Parka. I know my daughters would want a purple one and a green one. You can go here to see them.
