5 Star Rating

It doesn't get better than this!

By Ranked #295 - Men's Down Jackets March 5, 2009

First let me say that this parka is ridiculous in a good way. I have never in my life had such a warm jacket. I have yet to test it on any mountains worth noting however, I have used it extensively this winter while outside. I live in Michigan so I'll let you in on the average weather we've been having when I busted this jacket out. It was snowing at least a foot a day as well as peek daily temperatures being below zero with the wind chill added in. Now on to the part you're probably reading for... despite the cold weather all I would wear is a t-shirt and the Absolute Zero Parka and that would be more than enough to stay perfectly warm. This jacket is intense. I once made the mistake of shoveling snow in this Bad Jackson and that was a terrible mistake, by the time I was finished I had the jacket all the way unzipped with sweat collecting on my forehead. I'll say it once again, this jacket is intense. If your looking for the ultimate parka to combat intense cold and wind this is it. Zipper is huge and easy to use when wearing mittens as well as the draw cords at the bottom for blocking out the wind does its job very well.
