Sandra- i think the Mollie jacket would have been to heavy for you in your area. But the Carrie might have worked- it's like a fine terrycloth-textured hooded sweatshirt but more stylin' and wool of course.
It probably would work, but I feel sure the size I ordered (M, because that was all they had) would NOT have worked. I'm hoping this Large shak will fit and I don't need the XL.
