Just a little long - but still 5 stars

Mountain Hardwear Downtown Down Coat - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Downtown Down Coat - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 26, 2009

You couldn't get cold in this coat if your life depended on it. The hood and wrist enclosures beat back the chill and refused to let any wind in. The only problem was the length. You could walk around Chicago on the coldest windiest day and laugh at the windchill factor. But if you wanted to walk up a hill the length of the coat keeps grabbing at your thighs. I went with the Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Parka which is a little shorter. It is just as warm and it gives your legs the freedom they need to do some hiking. Be warned - MHW coats might be too warm for some people. I was in -12 degrees with the windchill and I had to start dropping the zipper after a 1/4 mile.

Can't move in it

The North Face Verdi II Down Jacket - Men's

The North Face Verdi II Down Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 January 26, 2009

The coat is warm but you just can't move. It has a thousand pockets but you can't get to them because you can't move. Finally, it isn't very good looking. I bought the Mountain Hardware Sub Zero Parka. The MHW is significantly more comfortable and it feels like it's floating on you.

Great coat

Marmot Mountain Down Jacket - Men's

Marmot Mountain Down Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 January 26, 2009

My choice came down to the Cloudveil Down patrol, Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Parka, and the Marmot. The Marmot and the MHW were both warm, light, and comfortable. Both had great hood designs but the Marmot didn't have any chest pockets. So I went with the MHW. I like to have quick access to my stuff and the Marmot only has two hand pockets and one inside. Not real convenient.
