Ok, so I'm a woman thinking of buying the men's sub zero hooded down jacket. First I'm wondering what size to order (I get cold easily and am 5'5 125 lbs). I suppose one of my main concerns is the length... I've heard it's a bit short. And what's the deal with the sub zero sl parka? I've heard it's a bit longer, a bit more waterproof, button hood (instead of zipper), and a couple more pockets than the down jacket. Any suggestions?

Rebecca, I am 5'5 125ish and just ordered a small. It is right on my waist which I like because I wear bibs so it doesn't bother me. The Parka is everything you just described as far as I know, someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that. Maybe if you specify your intended use for the jacket/parka people can make a better recommendation. Hope that helps.
