The North Face "Stay-Puft Marshmallo Man"! (in molten red)

Love the Parka- its amazingly lightweight for its appearance- oh, about the title- this thing is wicked lofty! If you are worried about "looking 40 lbs heavier in your jacket, this isnt for you- If you couldnt care less about how inflated you appear- by all means BUY IT! This a great parka for the money (got mine @ 30% off from here @ Backcountry.com- would have bought another but the price returned to retail/MSRP since). The only boggle I have with it are the "monkey cuffs". But once you resolve to the fact they are there to stay, they really dont mind them too much. Thought about cutting them off, but they are easily tucked up out of the way around your wrist & back up into the sleeves. Ive received compliments on the color (Molten Red) and the simplicity of the jacket/parka design is outstanding. I have purchased maybe 25-30 various TNF products and have given them to my wife & extensive family members as gifts on numerous occassions. I highly recommend this parka for casual wear as well. You dont sweat in it even if the weather is mild but are securely warm if the temp plummetts. One more thing- the hood does NOT detach from the jacket and with the "neck roll" which is also sewn into the neck of the jacket, the two together can look like a "sack of potatoes" residing behind your head. Love the color, size is near-true ( I usually buy an XL, but as TNF sizes run comfortably big, I opted for the L instead- fits perfectly with room to move freely & layer underneath. Tried a Med in this coat but the area around the waist/hip area was too snug (5'10, a non-athletic 213 lbs).
