Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Women's

Wore my jacket today (in Chicago) with wind chill of 29F (winds upto 15mph), and I was very comfortable. I didn't feel either wind or cold, and underneath only wore a long sleeve t-shirt. Size-wise, medium was perfect (I'm 5'5 and 130lb). As others said the length is on the shorter side, and yes, it's just past the top of the butt, though for a jacket vs parka, it's perfect...especially, for bopping around town or the slopes when you don't want to be a walking sleeping bag :)

It's a nice jacket, really, very warm, soft, lightweight, easy to move in, but make no mistake-- you WILL look like a giant marshmallow. I tried this jacket b/c I was taken in by the description of "flattering feminine fit". Sure, I need it for winter climbing, not for nights around town, but a girl likes to look nice... Umm, NO. I am 5 ft 100 lb, so I ordered XS. The sleeve length was perfect, the overall length was too short. And width was just humongous. Even when I had a base layer, a fleece, and then a softshell underneath the jacket, it still felt like I could stuff two big teddy bears (or my 5yo daughter) in there with me. In the end I decided to go with the MH SubZero SL parka, instead of this jacket. If I am going to look like a walking puffball anyway, I'd rather have a longer length and a hood with that...

Ok so I'm ALWAYS cold! I live in the Colorado Rockies. Last winter I bought two (very expensive) winter coats that failed to keep me warm. So this was my third attempt in less than a year. I'm totally satisfied. Its so warm and comforting. In my opinion this is the perfect down fill. But you also need to know I dont do any extreme winter activities so I have NO idea if this would work for you on top of a 14er in January. But over all I most definitely recommend it!

I bought a VERY expensive North Face Jacket and froze most of the winter until I got this one. So soft, warm and roomy. I love the stuff sac too - it packs down easily for camping and travel.

I tried both the jacket and the parka. Both were warm, but I did not keep the jacket because it was too short in the rear. The green jacket color was great, but I eventually settled for a dark blue sub zero parka. I think it will fit my needs for winter mountaineering.

This is a great jacket - very warm and I love that it has a stuff sack to convert it to a pillow! I ordered a size larger, based on reviews and it's a good thing. The sleeves are just barely long enough, even though the wrists aren't as tight as I'd like, even with adjustment. Fit in body is still ok with a sweater underneath.

Bought an XS for my wife but it was too small. So, my 11 year old daughter ended up with it. Fits her very well and should last her quite a few years. It is very well made, warm and has handy pockets. Just fits a little small.

I love this jacket, but can't find one that fits just right. It's super warm, very lofty, and comfortable. I typically wear a size 10 on top, and the small was pretty roomy considering. I tried the XS and it fit well in the body, but was too short in the sleeves and a bit short in the torso. All in all, this jacket is tough and ideal for low temps, but not very flattering if that's your main concern.

I returned this coat, because i did not like it at all. The length was to short and the fit was totally unflattering.

The jacket was great and is very warm. I did have to order a smaller size for my daughter. The best part of this experience was the service given by your company. Great bunch of guys. They all deserve raises! I would say this is one of the best companies I've ever dealt with.

This jacket made me fall in love with it, almost against my will. I was hoping the cut would be a little more form-fitting and dressy, and it's puffier than I wanted. But dang it, every time I put this jacket on, it literally makes me happy. It keeps me so toasty warm, I feel like my torso is still sitting in my living room, while the rest of me is out in the cold and snow! I have to disagree with some of the other reviewers who said it's a little short in length and the sleeves. I am 5'5" and bought a women's size medium and it fits just fine in both the torso and sleeve length. (But I'm older and don't wear the pants with my booty hanging out the back so maybe that's got something to do with it.) Two features I love are the drawstring at the bottom of the jacket to seal out drafts and the adjustable wrist straps that are so well-designed you can adjust them with your gloves ON.

The sleeves are not too short. I'm 5'10 and the jacket fits perfectly! You won't be disappointed; I love this coat!

I've had this jacket for over a year now and it is great. Keeps me warm without the bulk. I have a long torso and this jacket still comes down to my hip bones. It has gotten snagged in a couple places, but otherwise it has held up great!

Just like to thank this site for one of the most pleasant shopping experiences that I have ever had, I am an international customer who buys a lot of things online from many sites and if even one of the other places had a percentage of this site's customer support and commitment I would be happy. Life can throw out all sorts of problems, no matter how hard we try, but if you are unlucky enough to not have something be the way you wanted it, you can be certain that these guys will do all within any one's power to leave you the customer feeling satisfied. 100% Recommend to anyone from anywhere.

I recently purchased the sub zero and am very happy. It's very comforable and lighweight. My only complaint is that it's a bit short in the length and I'm only 5'3, otherwise, it's great!

This is the best jacket I have ever owned. It is really warm and has a ton of pockets, plus the color is really beautiful and I have gotten tons of compliments. Definitely recommend for cold weather.

Great coat - so warm! Just endured an outdoor concert in negative temperatures and never froze like so many around me! Typical of Mountain Hardware - great quality!

I bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas. She loves it and it fits great. She is particularly fond of the fleece lined pockets. I was impressed when it arrived. I might have to get one for myself.

I've had my new jacket a few weeks now, and have to say that I'm really pleased with it's functionality and the attention to detail that Mountain Hardware has invested in a women's design. So often, it's apparent the women's version of some clothing item or another is a stripped down, simplified version of the men's style, but not here! Features I appreciate are the fleece-lined hand warmer pockets, the drawstrings at the waist as well as the bottom, and the heavier-duty fabric on the sleeves and shoulders. Oh, and is it warm? You bet!!

This seems like a good jacket. I have not needed it yet because this winter is very mild. I'm excited to use it when I need it. It has kept me warm in 20 degree weather but I want to test this jacket and I will when I lead trip this next fall/winter

Awesome jacket, but the sleeves are a bit too short.

I love this jacket. Keeps me warm on the cold days when skiing with little people. However, it's a bit short in the waist line. Be careful bending over or sitting down, you may catch a cold breeze.

This is a great jacket, it's really warm and the color is great. Runs a little big, had to order a smaller size after originally ordering the medium. It has lots of pockets and isn't too big and bulky.

This women's Sub Zero jacket is perfect for any cold weather trips. It packs down very small into a stuff sack...which is included. This is the warmest jacket I have ever owned.

Awesome, warm- fits well. Sleeves a tad short

I haven't been able to test this jacket out yet seeing as it is not winter but its great quality wise and I can feel the warmth! lol. If you need a down jacket I think this one is as good as any, maybe better.
