Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Down Jacket - Men's
Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL - great jacket!

I recently picked up the Sub Zero SL jacket, and I love it so far. I also have the Absolute Zero jacket, but that is too much bulk and warmth for most uses (bought for a Denali climb). This is a great compromise for an extremely warm jacket that's burly in the mountains, and stuffs quite small. It also works well in town, since it isn't overly puffy. As far as the size, the jacket extends to right around my hip bones. The hood detaches making it more versatile, but the hood zipper is behind the collar, so no need to worry about drafts. Another feature that I was pleasantly surprised about is that there is a water bottle stash pocket to keep drinks from freezing, and a zippered interior pocket for snacks. There is also ample room for layering underneath and actually zipping up with that water bottle.
