New York City winters are no joke. Between the bone-chilling gusts rushing through Midtown, the icy blasts off the Hudson, and the wind tunnels created by skyscraper-lined streets, staying warm in the Big Apple is a daily battle. But for those who’ve braved NYC’s harshest weather, one thing is clear—Orolay jackets pass the ultimate wind test.
Don’t just take our word for it. Here are real stories from New Yorkers who’ve faced the city’s brutal winds and stayed warm, thanks to their Orolay jackets.
📍 Story #1: “Survived Midtown’s Wind Tunnels on My Daily Commute” – Jessica, Manhattan
"I work near Bryant Park, and the wind tunnels between the buildings are insane. Before I got my Orolay Thickened Down Jacket, I used to dread walking from the subway to my office. Now, I barely feel the wind. The oversized fit and warm lining keep me cozy, even when it feels like the wind could knock me over. Best winter purchase ever!"

"I love walking the Brooklyn Bridge in winter, but the wind off the East River is brutal. I used to bundle up in layers and still feel cold, but my Orolay Hooded Long Down Coat changed everything. It’s long enough to block the wind, super warm, and the hood actually stays up in strong gusts. Plus, it looks great!"
