The size chart said that a men's small was equivalent to a woman's dress size 0-2. I wear a size 6-7 at 5'4 and 125 lbs. But I knew that no men's small would be equal to a size 2 so based on the figures on the men's size chart I purchased a small. It was still way too big and I had to return it. Yes the inseam was the indeed 29" but the problem was the crotch came to just above my knees and there was at least 5" inches of excess garment around my hips. Conclusion, unless you are a very heavy set, woman this is not a unisex garment. I wish someone would make a woman's coverall. In the past the only thing that worked was a boy size.

Fabric was uncomfortably stiff and an optional hood would be appreciated.

Last night, here where I live in Maine, it dropped pretty drastically in temperature from the other days and I felt absolutely no chill. At 20 degrees and windchill(which is only the beginning. It gets into the -20s) with a polyester layer underneath, I actually had to leave the zipper undone just a bit it was so warm, YET breathable. It's nearly impossible to break a sweat yet you stay protected from the wind 100%! Easy on, easy off! That's how I prefer it. Looking forward to this standing the test of time.

in the freezer at work

I can literally get into this in one minute or less and get out of it and half of a minute. Very heavy weight, I tried it on for just a couple of minutes and I had to remove it immediately in 40 degree weather, I can tell that it breathes very well, it is too early to give it a full thumbs up but from the feel of it, if it's perfectly and the material feels like body armor!

Is there a way to make the material softer. Should I wash it or leave it alone? It's very stiff. And the zipper should be longer, would make for easier potty breaks

It Was exactly what I wanted. Comfortable, warm, and easy to get into.

I like the item is just what I wanted. My husband is happy with it!!

This suit seems to be well-made and is definitely warm. It replaces a Carhartt's that I had for 25 years, so I am hoping this one lasts as long. I originally bought another Carhartt's and returned it because I did not feel that the quality was as good as they used to be. I've only had the Refrigiwear suit for a few weeks but I have already worn it in snow and subzero weather and so far I've been happy with its performance. I wish there were a few more size options; I originally bought a "regular" but the legs were too short, so I exchanged it for a "tall" but the torso is a bit too baggy (even with the inner elastic cinch)- I decided I can live with it since I like it otherwise. The service, shipping, return and exchange were fast and easy. We have a few other Refrigiwear coats and have always been satisfied with the quality and warmth.
