Best winter riding coats?

I am thinking of treating myself to a nice riding coat in the new year, especially if I can find some good sales. What are your favorites for riding? I like long coats because they cover my legs, but they must have slits on the side or a front that opens from the bottom for riding. The warmer, the better, as I ride in very cold, below freezing weather and snow. A hood is nice, but a high collar even better since I'd be wearing a helmet anyway, but I like a collar that covers my neck.

I've been eyeing the Equidry coat out of the UK, but they are so oversized, I think it would annoy me. I understand that they are made to fit over many layers, however, I have having a lot of extra material flopping around. And since I'm short, I feel like I would just feel lost in it.

I have a great riding skirt so a shorter coat would also work with my riding skirt if you have suggestions for those. What are your favorite brands for winter riding?

I ride in fjallraven Greenland No 1 down jacket. The exterior is tough enough that it does not rip or tear on branches. The down is good quality and you can layer more underneath depending on how cold it is. I ride with a fleece underneath to -20C ish. I like the bomber length as I ride with shotgun chaps in the winter.

Likely not the setup some ladies are looking for but posted anyway.

Coming back to this one, which I could wear with my winter riding skirt. They are gorgeous! And look to be very high quality and durable. But ouch, the price tag reflects that. Do they ever go on sale?
Sorry I was away. I haven't looked if they do or not, I picked it up at MEC and were cheaper at the time. I would still by one for the price, I have used it alot and it is very durable and worth it IMO.
