Mountain Hardwear Absolute Zero Down Parka - Men's

Item #MHW0147 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Michelin Man!

By Ranked #878 - Men's Down Jackets January 5, 2011

This parka is the ultimate puffy jacket. When you put this thing on, it envelops you in soft down and you immediately get warm. I slept outside in -20 degree weather with this parka on and stayed toasty warm...that's right, slept...I had no sleeping bag and this thing kept me as warm as my -40 Darkstar sleeping bag. It's very warm. There is one design flaw in this parka however. It only shows up when it's extremely cold and very windy. You may be able to feel the chill come through the zipper area when it below zero and very windy like on many summits, especially if you don't have many layers on underneath.
