Climbing Rainier in August. I've heard it gets pretty windy and cold up there even in August. I need a good, warm coat (obviously) and probably one that is waterproof. What is the difference btw this one and the sub zero down coat (besides about 130 bucks)?Can anyone tell me if they think this would be a good coat? I'm having a hard time finding a burly women's coat. I'm pretty small, 5'2" about 105. Thanks!

If I were you, I would consider the Sub Zero SL Hooded jacket rather than this Parka. The reason why is that the SL Hooded down utilizes the Conduit laminate in the shell which is wind and water proof! The jacket is not taped so we cannot call the jacket waterproof... but the SL Hooded is extremely weather protective as many will attest. The Sub Zero Down Parka here is made with a lighter weight nylon with a durable DWR but no waterproof laminate. So, it will keep a sprinkle out but when it gets nasty... I would want the Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket. Hope this helps!
