Serious Down

By UAFER Ranked #2450 - Men's Down Jackets December 12, 2009

Last summer I borrowed a friends Marmot down bag, it impressed me as quality gear so when I needed a new Parka that could handle interior Alaska winter I decided to try the Greenland. This is a Parka that I would rate as about 3/4 throttle, its not quite expedition weight (although I'm sure some people will use it that way) but it is more than adequate for day-in-day-out Fairbanks life. Good points: your money is paying for lots of good quality down, tricky seams around the shoulders and arms are well executed, generous functional hood, useful pockets. Mediocre points: the shell material is gorgeous but a little delicate for woodcutting chores or any bush-whacking. As a value I think this item is superior in its price category, you need to go to a feathered-friends (substantially more $) for a real improvement in performance.
