This is by far the nicest down jacket/parka I have ever used. I live in Wisconsin and it gets COLD. I know it's a technical jacket made for hard and specialized use, but it works equally well as a winter jacket in cold climates. It was 10 degrees, -5 w/windchill, this morning and I was perfectly cozy while walking my dog. I'm confident that when the temps really begin to drop this jacket will only further prove itself. It's really allowing me to enjoy the cold weather without all the shivering and teeth chattering!! The jacket has a long cut, and is built to accommodate base and mid layers. I can wear a base layer, a fleece and this jacket without any issues. I can also wear it over just a t-shirt and be comfortable. Fore reference, I'm 6'5" 220lb and the XL fits me perfectly. The hem comes down to my crotch, and the tail covers 2/3rds of my butt. Love the fit.
