Other than the lame hood attachment, this is the best coat for the money. Living in Fairbanks for 10 years, I've seen some pretty cold weather. Last year, when the temperature scales met (-40 C and F) for a few days, I put on one light base layer, a very thin softshell, and the Sub Zero Parka on top, with the same bottom two layers on my legs, with the Compressor Pant as an outer layer, and my normal winter boots, and was overheating after simply standing outside for almost an hour. The only reason to get the Absolute Zero parka is if you are heading to Antarctica in winter or doing some high altitude mountaineering, like the description says.

wow, nice! i have the non-parka version of this jacket and the only problem i ever have is the length. seeing as i love this jacket so much, i was going to get the parka version. the hood attachment is a zipper, i dont know what everyone else is talking about. probably the older models. I just moved up to Fairbanks actually and was going to use the compressor pants as well.
