thx, Jon, very helpful. I also just purchased the small Sub Zero SL Parka and will give that a try. Hope it fits!

allen. So, here is the deal with baffling in our jackets. The only two jackets in the Mountain Hardwear line that are baffled like a sleeping bag are the Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket and Parka. (Chillwave Jacket for F'11) and the Absolute Zero Jacket/Suit/Pants. The rest of our jackets are sewn through which is the more traditional way of building a down jacket and much much more common in the industry. Baffling down jackets like a sleeping bag is the exception and not the norm. We use a 650+ fill power down in all of our down coats except for the Phantom Jacket, Nitrous Jacket, and Absolute Zero series where we use an 800+ fill power down. I hope this info helps to clarify! Thanks!
