I am heading to Fairbanks to photograph the aurora - means some standing around at night ( lows -15 F), but I am short and squat (5'6, 220). Being a short cut this jacket is looking like the best choice for me, is it? other suggestions?

That actually sounds a bit warm for Fairbanks this time of year, but it's no matter, the jacket will shrug off the cold either way. I routinely go out in a T-shirt and this jacket in Alaskan winters. It's that warm. The short length is best balanced, like Mike said, with snow pants. Because of the short cut length, bending over sometimes lifts the hem of the jacket, letting cold air in, and high snow pants or bibs help with that.

I think this jacket would work perfect for what you are wanting. I would also look into buying some snow pants for those temps.
