The North Face Himalayan Insulated Parka - Men's
Himalayan Parka
By Keith Drury
Ranked #720 - Men's Down Jackets
January 25, 2006
I ordered a large and discovered that to fit the water bottles in one needs a size up—so I exchanged (these guys are great on exchanges). I used my XL Parka on a New Year's week climb up Colorado’s Mt. Elbert—14,000+ in high winds and snow—it is wonderful! Steep price but worth every penny for 900 fill down. Lightest-warmest parka available. Everything they describe is true—a million pockets with high quality craftsmanship. It will be the "last Parka I need to buy".
