Multiple reviewers have noted that Mountain Hardware's Absolute Zero parka has issues with loft migrating in the arms. And multiple reviewers have note that The North Face's Himalayan Parka has zipper issues. Are there any notable issues with this jacket? Migrating down and problematic zippers are not something to be taken lightly at altitude.

All down jackets have down shift from the inside of the arm to the outside unless extremely over stuffed or baffled at this location, This is due to the inside of the arm brushing against the body and arm flex at the elbow joint. Down shift with resulting cold spots is a major drawback in the use of down as an insulation. Requires regular "patting it back" to keep it well distributed.
