I was a lucky boy and got one of these from my wife at Christmas.
I've not had the chance to wear it much yet, largely because the winter in Scotland has been so mild, however I'd echo the comment about the warmth thing - I wore it out on a frosty morning for an extended Sunday dog walk and, despite the sub-zero air temperature, I found myself unzipping everything that could be unzipped when out route went uphill.
The upside is that once we arrived on top of a rather windy fell, it was toasty warm with everything zipped back up again. The liner has a really luxurious feel to it as well.
One other thing I'd mention is that the cut is a little looser than the VR smock I have, and in retrospect, I think I should have gone a size down and opted to wear it very close fitting as a next to skin garment.
