I'm sure this jacket, packed with down, would prove to keep the core warm; however, it is far too short and wind would blow right up, removing any warmth the down provides. Maybe order a size larger?

I like this coat--it is a standard, warm, poofy coat. I do think these style of coats are too short. If it is cold enough to need a down-filled coat, I think it is cold enough to want one that will cover your tummy, even when reaching to the sky. If I would keep this coat, I would want it several sizes too large, so that it covers my hips/rear a bit better.

The Women's Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Jacket is awesome! Best present I received. It really saved the day in the frigid temps this winter in Middlebury,VT. All of my friends are interested in purchasing one now. Thanks!

This jacket was well worth every penny!! I skied for three days and never wore anything more than an Under Armor Shirt and the jacket. It was extremely warm....I highly recommend it! (I was in Breckenridge Co. and it WAS snowing!)

This jacket is very warm and lightweight. It is great for very cold weather. I have had mine for a couple of years now. I get a lot of use out of it and it keeps me warm during the winter months. I thought I would buy my girlfriend one to stay warm this winter. She loves it. Thank you for the great online shopping experience.

I got this jacket for my daughter who works outdoors, she loved it, it was way cute, kind of expensive, but ultimately was way too short! She’s a really small girl, so it had to be really short. It kind of defeated the purpose of a down jacket because if you bend over your whole back is showing. A great product, very cute, just not practical.

I am not a big person by any means, but the Mountain Hardwear Subzero Jacket is just too darn short. I do not have a long torso, and whenever I raised my arms above my head my whole stomach was showing. I choose a North Face down jacket over the Mountain Hardwear because North Face makes their jackets longer. They cover most of your butt, which is nice and good for cold weather. On a more positive note, the Mountain Hardwear jacket was really warmer and good quality, I just wish it was much, much longer.

I am 5'3" and according to the sizing chart I should wear a 6 - the only problem is that the 6 barely comes to the top of my pants and the sleeves barely reach my wrists. Any movement at all and the jacket flies up exposing the very parts of my body I'm trying to keep warm. I've switched to a size 10, even though it is a little wider, it's nice to have the coat sit lower. And with the inside draw strings it's still pretty cozy. It's a great jacket, for sure. But definitely short. My advice: Go Big. It's a fluffy jacket anyway.

I recently ordered the Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero down jacket. It is so light and soft, but so warm! I like the elbows being made of more abrasion resistant fabric since I'm a bit of a klutz. The light blue color is gorgeous. So far I am very happy with my purchase.

We used these - three of them - for Kilimanjaro. Overall, for a light down jacket, they worked very well. If there was one modification we would make it would be to have gone with a hooded version - detachable or not. Mountain Hardwear makes a good product and it performed well in the 10 - 15 Degree F weather on summit day.

I really do like this jacket--I purchased one in the pink Rosie color a while back. However, it is a bit short. I usually wear a 4 but ordered a 6 and it's still short. I find myself pulling it down quite a bit to cover my stomach, and I think the puffiness of the arms and shoulders is a little overwhelming for my stature. But it's warm and cozy, great for around town. It's not a play in the snow jacket.

In the middle of winter in the Rocky Mountains, I can get away with just a t-shirt on underneath and still be quite warm. It stuffs nice and small for carrying in a pack. I wear it all the time when it is cold out.
