HI Keith, I own several Mt. Hardwear Subzero SL Parkas (not Jacket). I think during the really seriously cold days of winter, with high wind chills that you would benefit from the extra length that the Mt. Hardwear Subzero Sl PARKA offers rather than the jacket. While I like the greater movement a jacket sometimes affords, I have learned that for greater warmth, the length of a Parka equals greater warmth. On very cold days, I find the Subzero SL Parka is warmer than the equivalent jacket.

Keith. The Sub Zero and Sub Zero SL are very different. The Sub Zero SL utilizes the Conduit SL laminate for added weather protection. To put it another way, the fabric is actually waterproof but due to the fact that it is not 'taped' we cannot call it a waterproof jacket. The laminate is there for added wind and weather protection. The hood IS removable and like the Sub Zero the Sub Zero SL comes with a stuff sack. The Sub Zero has a center back length of 28.5" and the Sub Zero SL has a center back length of 29" so the SL is 1/2" longer. Hope this info helps!
