Alejandro. Both Jackets are nice and will keep you very warm in cold conditions. The Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket utilizes the Conduit SL laminate throughout the jacket that keeps the weather out. It is a waterproof and breathable fabric but the jacket is not taped so we cannot call it completely waterproof. Typically in the coldest weather the air is very dry and complete waterproof-ness is not needed. The Millet Jacket utilizes waterproof fabric in "reinforcement panels" not throughout the entire jacket. This is probably the main difference. Again, both will keep you very warm in cold weather. I hope this info helps!
