Great Jacket

By Greg R Ranked #616 - Men's Down Jackets February 3, 2009

Finally received my Hooded Sub Zero last week. For those of you still wondering about the hood attachment - it's zippered and not snap-on. Size-wise, I am 179cm, about 165lbs, and I ordered a large. The fit is great - arms length and back length are perfect, although it's a quite loose around my mid-section. But the elastic draw cord at the bottom of the jacket tapers it nicely to my waist.

So far I haven't taken this jacket below 0 C (34F) yet, but it,s really warm, and very comfortable. The hood when attached is a bit of overkill for the city as it makes the jacket look huge. But I'll definitely use the hood when I hit the snow in a few weeks time.

I also have the MHW Vertical Jacket (large), and the Sub Zero fits nicely underneath. It's a super-snug fit, but in no way restrictive. I can lift my arms and move around just as I would with my Vertical jacket and a light fleece. I was originally intending to use the Sub-Zero / Vertical combo for skiing, but I think this combination will just be too warm!

All-in-all, this is an awesome jacket, well priced, and I highly recommend it.
