Stomping Grounds:
SPEND MOST OF TIME IN FRIGID WEATHER!!!!!
Bio:

SUGGESTIONS TO MY BACKCOUNTRY FRIENDS:

I SPEND MUCH OF MY TIME IN VERY VERY COLD AREAS OF LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK, WHEN WINTER IS AT ITS WORST. KEEPING WARM IS CRITICAL TO ME!!! HYPOTHERMIA IS NOT AN OPTION!

SO, I AM, AFTER 30 YEARS, AN EXPERT IN THE BEST GEAR - THE BEST DOWN PARKA(S) TO KEEP YOU WARM!

MY RECOMMENDATION FOR WORST WINTERS:
IT IS THE MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR SUBZERO SL PARKA: HERE IS WHY THIS PARKA EXCELS:
1) It has 15 ounces of down, and high loft!
2) It is very wind resistant!
3) It is light in weight and very comfortable.
4) It outperforms other parkas I've tested.

TO PROTECT YOURSELF - WHEN TEMPS ARE ZERO AND BELOW, AND THE WIND CHILLS ARE MINUS 25, THE MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR SUBZERO SL WILL WORK! YOU WILL BE KEPT WARM AND TOASTY - EVEN IN THESE EXTREME CONDITONS!

McMURDO PARKA - FAR TOO HEAVY

The North Face McMurdo Down Parka - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 1 day ago

I BOUGHT THE NORTH FACE McMURDO PARKA ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO!
IT IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!
HERE ARE THE REASONS:
1) IT FEELS VERY HEAVY - FAR FAR TOO HEAVY AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
2) HOOD LOOKS NICE - BUT IS NOT FACE PROTECTIVE.
3) THIS IS A PARKA THAT LOOKS WARM, BUT IS NOT IN THE SAME CALIBRE AS MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR PARKAS WHICH ARE LIGHTER, WARMER AND MORE COMFORTABLE PARKAS!
4) MY ADVICE- DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PARKA!
IT IS NOT WORTH BUYING!

BEST PARKA I'VE EVER OWNED

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Down Parka - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 3 days ago

THE MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR SUBZERO
SL PARKA IS THE BEST PARKA I HAVE EVER OWNED.
HERE ARE REASONS TO BUY IT:
1) 15 OUNCES OF DOWN.
2) HIGH LOFT
3) WIND RESISTANT.
4) ABRASION RESISTANT.
5) WILL KEEP YOU WARM IN ZERO DEGREE TEMPERATURES WITH EVEN 30 MILE AN HOUR WINDS.
SO IT IS GOOD FOR WIND CHILL CONDITIONS DOWN TO MINUS 30 DEGREES FARENHEIT.
THIS IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.
IT IS NECESSARY GEAR FOR ALL WHO WISH TO CONQUER WINTER'S WORST CONDITIONS!

GOOD INVESTMENT - SEIRUS BALACLAVA

NUPTSE JACKET-NOT AS WARM AS MT. HARDWEAR PARKAS

Answer to: "DATE: DEC. 7-2008HI THERE: I OWN THE MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR SUBZERO"

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Down Parka - Men's

December 8, 2008

First of all, take caps lock off. Second of all, I already answered this question when you asked it (twice) on the page for the North Face jacket. The North Face is warmer, but this jacket is lighter and more versatile and easier to move around in. And a lot cheaper. Given the choice, I'd buy this one (well, I did).

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Down Parka - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 8, 2008

1) best parka i have ever owned!
2) live in ny and it keeps you warm in 10 to 20 degree temperatures with winds.
3) the hood is great. Is face protective!
4) this mt. Hardwear sub zero sl down parka feels more comfortable than
The icefall parka - from feathered friends, which is an expedition parka
That costs about $200 more!!!
(i should know. I own both)
5) this year i bought my second mt. Hardwear subzero sl parka!!
6) i simply feel absolutely safe, knowing i have this warm and well designed protective parka.
7) it is a better parka than anything made by north face, ll bean, eastern mountain sports, land's end, or most any other manufacturer.
Bottom line:
Go for it!!! It is a great parka!!

GREAT DOWN PARKA

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Down Parka - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 8, 2008

1) very warm down parka in temps. Of 10 degrees or less with high winds.
2) excellent hood is face protective!
3) comfortable parka!
4) better parka than anything made by north face, ll bean, land's end, and even better than individually hand made parkas from feathered friends in seattle, which cost
$200 more. The absolute zero sl parka is better than their icefall parka. (i know. I have both)

Bottom line:
Buy this parka without reservation.
It will protect you from winter's worst elements!! Trust me.
