Cloaks are not practical compared to a heavy coat: it doesn't keep you as warm because there are no zippers or buttons to fasten it all the way, and you can't use your arms or hand at all with a heavy cloak on because it doesn't have sleeves, and it doesn't have any pockets.
If you want to wear it for the sake of fashion, go for it, but prepared to be frustrated.
My cape-type-thing is thigh length & has little elbow height slits with flaps on them so i can reach out, up to my elbows. Also pockets.
It's awkward when i forgot I'm wearing it and try to sling something over my shoulder, but other than that rare occurrence it is excellent, daily fall wear for me.
9.8/10 seriously, my cape is great.
