It's that time of year again when even walking to the mailbox can be a miserable chore because of cold temperatures.

And that's not to mention fall and winter travel when you might not know how long it will be until you hit the closest coffee shop for some hot chocolate.

But a great winter coat can work wonders on a frigid day, no matter where you are. Some coats, like those made with thick wool or down, don’t need many layers underneath.

Here are some of our favorite coats and parkas of the season for every budget.
