Hey all-
I am interested in the Sub Zero hood, I would like to take my summer hiking in the White Mtns for the winter and was wondering if...
A - Can this be used as a mid-layer over a hardshell or is it too bulky and strictly an outer layer despite not being waterproof? If it is a mid-layer would that be too much layering? I was looking at this or something smaller like Patagonia or North Face Down sweater
and
B - I am 6'4 I dont want something where I lift my arms and my waist is exposed, should I consider the Parka? or is that too long for hiking.
Thank you

Ryan, I personally would not use this jacket for a midlayer. It's not a small jacket, and the bulk would be counterproductive. In addition, the jacket is cut short for wear with packs, hip belts, and climbing harnesses. It's going to be short, by design, and may be shorter than you like. It sounds like you'd be better off with a good hardshell and 800 fill light down jacket.
