I'm torn between this coat and the Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Down Jacket. I'm looking for a good durable down jacket for being outside for an extended period of time in very cold whether (ie camping and expeditions in heavy winter whether). Is this jacket really the better buy for the price? I know its got a stronger shell (waterproof) and a higher fill rate but is also heavier and more bulky.

Well, I live in interior Alaska and I returned the Sub Zero hooded down jacket, it was EXTREMELY short at the waist, and really wide, so even though it was warm the length really let the cold in. They have the parka version of it, but all it really is, is the length of a normal jacket would be, which is pretty retarded. THIS jacket is 800 fill down and the outer material is really strong and the length is that of a real parka. So i would definitely look at this, or the Greenland Baffled down jacket from Marmot. THAT jacket is much lighter than this one and a lot lighter. Also, you might want to check out the Patagonia Fitz Roy Down Hoody.
