McMURDO PARKA - FAR TOO HEAVY

I BOUGHT THE NORTH FACE McMURDO PARKA ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO!
IT IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!
HERE ARE THE REASONS:
1) IT FEELS VERY HEAVY - FAR FAR TOO HEAVY AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
2) HOOD LOOKS NICE - BUT IS NOT FACE PROTECTIVE.
3) THIS IS A PARKA THAT LOOKS WARM, BUT IS NOT IN THE SAME CALIBRE AS MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR PARKAS WHICH ARE LIGHTER, WARMER AND MORE COMFORTABLE PARKAS!
4) MY ADVICE- DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PARKA!
IT IS NOT WORTH BUYING!
