The North Face McMurdo Down Parka - Men's
Warm & Dry
By TX/MN
Ranked #4208 - Men's Down Jackets
December 7, 2005
Though we live in southern TX, hubby is a long distance van operator and runs between here and that frozen wasteland of the north (mostly MN). It appears that after years of searching, I've found the parka he needs. The McMurdo was offered big enough (4X), waterproof, windproof, carefully cuffed at the wrists and long enough to keep his lower back covered and protected. The wind-chill factor has the temps below 0F this week in the Minneapolis area and with a long-sleeve layer beneath, he's been able to work in these polar bear conditions in reasonable comfort. Let me add that the website is easy to navigate and the staff prompt and helpful with pre-purchase and follow up.
