I'm going to Greenland in March.Can this coat handle 20 below sub zero weather or lower?Or would one of your other coats work better? I want a coat with a hood and no band around the bottom to cover my tookus and theighs. I'm only 5.1,but don't like tight or snug coats.I need extra room for layering.Thanks for any and all help!

This jacket should do the job. Although it will definitely require some serious layering if the weather turns nasty (ie. Gusts that will blow you right off the glacier). The only alternatives here would be any of the "Canada Goose" brand parkas which are filled with goose down. The "Expedition" is my favourite, I swore by it when I was living in northern Canada. Hope that helps!
