The dependable standard in outdoor insulation, the classic Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Jacket for men is as essential as a reliable mountaineering rope. A four-season mountaineering shelter can save you from the elements and a -40F rated sleeping bag can provide adequate warmth, but it's your outerwear that's going to protect and insulate you all the way back to civilization, which is why this 650-fill down Sub Zero Jacket is an essential fit for extended climbs and backcountry skiing adventures. You'll find reinforcement fabric along the shoulder and arm in key abrasion areas and external fleece lined pockets to warm your digits and quickly stow some gear. This is expedition-quality protection for severe winter weather and high altitude conditions.
my father loves it!
well i am in south korea and i found this cool duck down jacket from altrec. i was wondering if it feet to my father. coz i never buy any jacket from online. as soon as i got it , i gave it to my father and he loves this!
he said its great color and good quality! This jacket is excellent for Winter time!!
Great purchase
I am very pleased with this jacket as is my wife (I ordered 2). It is great for the cold mornings when you don't have time to do a lot of layering. This jacket kept me incredibly warm on a windy and snowy day and I like that it is compact and easy to carry in my backpack. I would recommend this product and will consider other products by Mountain Hardwear.
Warm, Light and Versatile
I've used this jacket everywhere from Mt Rainier to early spring overnights in the Adirondacks. It's incredibly light, immensely packable, and absolutely warm. It's the one jacket you want against extreme cold apart from your outer/softshell. Excellent as an alternative to the full parka, which is bulkier. Great around town for cold winter conditions too.

Love the weight! (actually the lack thereof,)
I have advanced C.O.P.D and my former winter coat weighed in at about 8 pounds. Combining that with the weight of a portable oxygen tank I would tire quickly when walking about. I also do not handle cold weather very well. This coat is truly "light as a feather" at about a pound and a half and cold winds do not penetrate it. The fleece-lined pockets are a welcome bonus feature. I also find it quite stylish and I don't look like the Michelin man when wearing it. It was considered a special order item for some reason so it took a bit longer to receive it but it was worth the wait.
Very Nice Jacket
This jacket is exellent for Winter time, great for temperatures bet -5deg Celsius through +15deg Celsius. Extremely light weight, I am a Pilot, and my subzero goes with me everywhere.
Absolutely Fantastic service.
I find that US range of products far more extensive than that offered in Europe by the majority of the top end manufacturers. also there never seems to be any problem with sizing. All sizes are cateerd for & not limited as in the UK.From the time of order to delivery & receipt of the product, the service has been absolutely fantastic. Completely as your shipping policy & delivery service states... happened. No delay or no worthwhile import tax, A very enjoyable experience & will no doubt be ordering for you in the future. It's such a shame that a lot of the US manufacturers are placing a ban on export of their products from the US. As I have started to experience the problems as previously mentioned, Although on this occasion not. Very well done Altrec
Very compact
Great down jacket for backpacking when cold weather is expected. Extremely compact and warmth to weight ratio gets 4+ stars. Recently took this jacket on a backpacking trip into the Eastern Sierra's and it performed better than expected. I am 5'11" 190 lbs. and the large size fit perfect over two layers.
Great Jacket
Perfect fit, excellent high quality material, extremely warm.This is my 2nd Sub zero.I use it in wintertime in Russia, elegant, light weight, and very comfortable.
Excellent jacket
A riend of mine usud it and its more than good. Very warm and comfortable to use. Excellent jacket!!!!
Great Jacket
True to size. Fits in the stuff bag. Just perfect for our European trip.
Excellent Jacket
Just got this jacket a few weeks ago and it fits pretty well, length is spot on but the circumference around the waste is a little large. I am 5'10" 170 lbs, so I think this jacket is designed for someone with a little extra around the midsection. Otherwise I love the jacket and the ability to stow it in the stuff sac.
This is a great jacket
I love this jacket. It is a warm durable and packs great. Just don't get it to wet. It will handle a mist and a really light rain but not much more than that. Other than that I have had this for about a year in the northern Illinois winter and it has been a great jacket so far.
Tough & warm, bit of a large fit
Nice features: Fabric is heavier/more durable to other puffy jackets in this category which makes the jacket cram pack, throw in the trunk, sit on, damage resitant. There are plenty of pockets & a couple of nice synch cords to seal out the wind. Con: No real cons other than the jacket does seem to run a bit on the large size. I'm 150lbs, 30" waist and will return the medium for a small.
excellent jacket
When I unpacked the jacket at first I was concerned how warm it would be compared to my other(different brand) more bulky down jacket, but I found that this jacket was plenty warm in our cold windy Minnesota climate and even warmer than the other more bulky jacket.
Would have paid more.....
Got this jacket at a fantastic sale price and have loved it ever since. I have bigger and warmer DJ's, but unless it is Alaska cold (coldest part of winter), this is the jacket that comes out of my pack when the temp drops. Get one, you will not be disappointed.
great jacket, believe what you read about it!
It just does what it claims to do! True to size, very wind resistant, warm and comfortable. Has been great in a cold, windy high desert environment.
Great light weight jacket!!
I bought this jacket as an all around winter jacket. I have been more than impressed with the warmth and the light weight. In 20deg temps all I need under it is a tee shirt!! I am 6'2" and 210lbs and the XL works great. It leaves just enough room under it for layering in colder weather.
Outstanding down jacket!
This jacket is warm and light weight; when combined with an outer shell it has proven to be an outstanding buy. Jacket is short in length (only down to your waist) but I found this to be OK with the outer shell. The jacket does not have pit zips which would be a plus.
Excellent jacket that can handle abuse!
Up here in Fort St.John (Northern BC)you need a jacket for cold nights (-35 to -40 deg.C)...Two of my friends purchased this jacket and used it for sheep and elk hunting in the Northern Rockies and in the Aleutian mountains near the border of Alaska. So far the jacket has been outstanding: warm, light, tough. I really like the light cordura on the shoulders and the back side of the arms. The Nuptse jacket by TNF does not have that abrasion resistant fabric. Great if you're going to carry a pack! The little stuff sack they give you is also a convenient bonus. Very light and outstanding for wilderness adventures, classy enough for town wear.
wonderful jacket
Good looking jacket. Nice fabric. Wore it around the house, got too warm had to take it off. Got it at a great price.
Very nice!!
My wife laughed at me for getting this jacket for the climate that we have in Georgia. That laugh changed when she asked to wear it on a cold winters night running errands. Mountain Hardwear has gained me as a fan of their products!!!
Great Jacket
Very light weight, and warm. Great design as well. I would definetely recomend it.
This jacket is the best!!
I have been looking for a down jacket for my father for a long time, actually purchasing and returning a few, and finally the Sub Zero. My father and I love the color, thickness, and style. It's the best buy in terms of it's quality and price!
Love the Jacket
I just recently wore it up into the mountains while it was snowing and didn't even have to have another jacket on with it. Great jacket I love it
Great Cold Weather Jacket
Purchased this jacket for the cold weather that has been occurring in the midwest. This jacket is very warm and windproof. I love it!
warm and comfortable
This jacket is very comfortable and warm. but the size is so fit for me. I think the length is so shorth. I bought M size. but I am satisfied with this one. I recommend it.
this jacket has been on since it came out of the box..
should be called all weather pajamas..wish i had botoms to match..was at tuckerman ravine last week and toast at -15with wind chill
Very good jacket
This jacket is warm and easy to wear, sizing is great for me,a little short. The color is really nice black and blue. For New York its great.
It's like wearing a down sleeping bag!
You can't go wrong with this jacket! Very warm in cold temps!!! I work with about 10 people who have this same jacket which have been purchased over the last few years. Everybody is still warm and happy with their Sub Zero Jacket!
Great down coat!
And at a price you can't beat. Reinforced elbows, convenient pouch to pack it in, good zippers, and overall great construction. However its only 650 fill, good for everyday use, but I wouldn't suggest it if you're serious about cold excursions.
Good jacket - Fast delivery
I ordered this jacket just before Christmas and was told it would be here in January but instead it arrived a few days before Christmas .. so great delivery. The jacket so far has proved to be
just what I was looking and for and I am not disappointed in UK weather. The real test will be soon when I travel to Moscow in the height of their winter but I don't, based on my trial so far expect any nasty surprises. In short a good comfortable jacket and a good purchase. The range of larger sizes in fantastic and better than the UK.Will be back again I am sure, keep up the larger size stocks please.
Mountain Hardware Sub Zero Jacket - 10 Plus
My family & I went to Loveland Pass, Co. for Xmas vacation 2007 where the temperature stayed anywhere from 12 degrees F. to -5 degrees F. I wore the Sub Zero Jacket & stayed warm the whole time. I give Mountain Hardware Sub Zero jacket a 10 for it's excellent quality & keeping me warm in this frigid weather.
Buy of the year
I love this jacket,i chose it as an alternative to a north face nuptse as eveyone in england has one. I'm so glad i did as most people prefer my jacket to their own!!
Great product that i can trek in the hills with knowing i wont feel the cold.
Quick delivery of great product
My hard-to-please 12-year old grandson was satisfied and the Men's Small fit him well. I hope it keeps him warm during our cold Jackson Hole winters.
great jacket
I got it for my husband and he loves it! We both like the design and colors (blue and black). It seems like a high quality product which will last for a long time.
Durable choice
The MHW Subzero is the most durable "lightweight" down jacket I have ever owned. Reinforcing on arms and shoulders help keep it from getting torn up. Less expensive than most comparable jackets too.
nice & warm.
nice & warm.
Best down jacket I have ever owned
Great fit. Warm. Very comfortable with nice well thought out features. This is a top choice-I reccommend this jacket very highly.
WARM
This is a great jacket, very comfortable. I love wearing it on cold days, when it's on I feel like I am still lying in my warm bed. The construction is great and it has a spot for a water bottle inside to keep the water from freezing.The pockets are nice too, fleece lined:)
Couldn't be better
I love this jacket. Granted I wouldn't take it deep into the Sierras in January, don't think that is its purpose. Have had it up on a couple of 14,000 footers and it worked great. The price I got it for couldn't be beat anywhere. Trust me I looked. Would buy it again if the need arises, even at a higher price.
Great Jacket! Well made and super warm.
Big fan of this jacket! Super warm and packable. Mine came with stuff sack that makes packing a breeze. Highly recommend if your looking for performance and durability.
the one and only jacket to have
Thats if you could only have one. I own one, bought one for my mom and bought myself a second one (backup!) Very comfy, lite, short waisted, and well constructed. Highly recommended! Also got them on sale here--saved 120 smacks!
Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Jacket
Best jacket I've seen on the market in a long time. It's worth evey penny!!!
great product
We have now bought two of these. Very warm and hardwearing.
Great jacket
very warm, size one size smaller if you're thin. packs very small.
excellent jacket
This mountain hardware sub-zero is the best one I've ever owned.
I spent a few hours in it the other night in like conditions and was very comfortable.
Perfect for Cold Weather
This jacket is designed for movement without the usual bunching of coat that is common with a down jacket. The shoulders and sleeves have a durable nylon shell that protects against rips and wear. I'm very please with this warm stylish jacket> get one. Comes with a stuff sack for your pack too.
Great Value & Lightweight Warmth
Much better value than the Nuptse. The construction and the reinforced areas are very durable for when walking through thick woods. And despite the unusually warm weather, there were a few very cold weekends in upper New York state, it proved to be a very warm jacket minimal weight and packing space that is the magic qualities of down with the stuffsack. There was just one problem I found, above it is advertised as being a baffle construction, this isn't true in any part of the jacket but generally is only used in down suits and hooded jackets. The inside pocket is good for goggles and maps, and the fleece lined pockets are very nice. Fits well with multiple layers, and great under a shell while retaining mobilty all over. Thumbs up to MH for a great jacket and to Altrec for great price and customer service.
Absolute great looking and great preforming product!
The Mountain Hardware Sub Zero Down Jacket is a very sharp looking and great fitting jacket. It is worth every penny I paid for it! It has a very sharp look, and the perfomance is exactly what you would expect from Mountain Hardware. Living in the southern United States, it has not seen extreme temperatures for use, but the construction, materials, and fit are a thumbs up! One very minor complaint, and I do mean minor. The material in the neck collar is a little colder than I would like. Some warm fleece on the inside would have been better. Other than that, this jacket gives you it's money's worth. You will NOT be disappointed.
Great Value
This is a great jacket that won't break the bank. Typical of Mountain Hardware the sub-zero is a true-to-size jacket that is quite warm. Nice colors, well constructed.
Awesome Puffy Jacket, Better than my Northface
The best puffy down jacket that I have owned. I have a Northface version that just does not compare. MHW is not as puffy, and just as warm. The external shell seems a little thicker and is made of two type of fabric. I am very satisfied with this jacket.
Awesome
Fleece lined pockets, adjustable cuffs and waist, and best of all very packable! Keeps me warm without a million layers! Not at all what i expected, neither was being stationed in Germany during the coming winter for a Florida boy!!
Great Jacket
This is the best jacket I own. I dare not take it out in the rain, due to the fact it's down. I used this jacket for a euro trip and it kept warm and comfy. I always felt like I was in a nice sleeping bag. It's made very well and offers a great deal of warmth.
Great down jacket for the price
I am extremely satisfied with my Sub Zero jacket. From winter hiking to taking the puppy out at dawn, this jacket provides superior warmth. After hiking in brush and snagging the jacket on a variety of branches, I was able to witness for myself the high quality of tear resistant material that is used to construct the jacket. I highly recommend the Sub Zero to all those who are looking for a warm down jacket.
Great jacket
This is a great jacket, it's really warm and the color is great. Runs a little big, had to order a smaller size after originally ordering the medium. It has lots of pockets and isn't too big and bulky
Nice upgrade
I finally donated my old Gerry down parka with the beard-stubbled collar, which cleared me to justify a new down jacket. The MH Sub-Zero jacket is so much better though a little weightier than the Phantom, but less fragile.
Great jacket!!!
This jacket is beautiful. Not only does it perform to its standard in every condition, but it also looks great. This jacket is light-weight, breathable, and able to conquer any element it faces. If warmth is what you are seeking, your journey has come to an end!
Comfortable, warm and low bulk
Very well made, warm, comfortable & lightweight. I've found the 650 fill in the sub-zero jacket is comfortable and low in bulk w/o sacrificing warmth, it's just right as an outer layer in low to mid 30's & mid 40's w/light wind. It rolls up nicely in the included / seperate logo'd stuff bag which make it very easy to transport & get to easily - if the temp drops dramatically.
Excellent quality jacket!
Lightweight and fits well. The stitching and quality are excellent throughout. It's plenty warm for me and compacts nicely. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this jacket for general cold-weather use, either alone or in layers depending on conditions.
Nice Jacket
Only one word .. Excellent!!!
Great Jacket
Very warm and comfortable without a lot of bulk. This is a great jacket for those cold morning drives to work or when out in town on those winter evenings.
The best jacket
took it with me to our mountain home, it was snowing and I went for a walk wearing this jack with only a tee-shirt underneath, I was warm as a toast. Great jacket - Great price, good workmanship and loosks gooc.
Great jacket , Great Shopping mall
Great Jacket, and Lightening Fast shopping mall Altrec!!
great jacket
I love this jacket. Super form, super warm, styling very sporty,
I love the colour, too. The price is very reasonable for the performance. I recommend it to everyone. Great partner for the cold season. I will use it when I go backcountryskiing, as well.
Warm, durable jacket
Keeps the wind and cold outside and traps the heat inside better than any piece of windstopper fleece product that's out there.
lightweight and warm jacket
I recently purchased the Mountain Hardware Sub Zero jacket. I have never been a fan of down because every other down jacket I have purchused has been heavy and uncomfortable. The Sub Zero jacket shocked me when I first tried it on, for it was warm, light, and comfortable. The jacket has many great features, such as drawcords meant for adjusting the jacket's size in different places. My Sub Zero feels like it was custom fit. The Sub Zero is also very durable. It has withstood many events which would have torn any other jacket to pieces. I would highly reccomend the Sub Zero for anyone who is looking for a durble, lightweight, warm jacket.
Perfect
Warm but not overly bulky and very well designed - the fleece pockets are a nice touch. The whole backs of the arms and the shoulders are made from a tougher material which makes tthe jacket pretty sturdy. Buy this instead of the Nuptse and you can spend 50 more dollars on beer.
SWEET
Excellent Jacket just got it today so i havent used it yet.But i love it .And the price is great.And ALTREC ROCK.I will be back.Thank you.AAA++++++
Not Normally a Down Lover
This jacket is comfortable, warm, sized right and so far the outer layer holds up well against snags. I don't normally buy down because it makes me sneeze, but I am very happy to have this little piece in the collection
Outstanding lightweight down jacket
The sub-zero jacket is a quality product and a great value. It is light, packable and very warm. I really like the fact that it is not as bulky as my other down jacket. I can easily layer it under my Gortex shell for really cold weather. Bring on the cold Wisconsin Winter, I'm ready!! Rick
Awesome
Light, cheap awesome. Great when weight is a factor.
wow
great jacket at a great price!!!
excellent jacket
great jacket, the military use that we put this jacket through is extreme, and this jacket performs above expectations. well done mountain hardwear!!!
Excellent gear.
Quick service, including help via phone to a real person. quick shipping, great product. i would buy from this store again.
Amazingly warm and light. Low profile too.
I really like this jacket. I am using it for high-altitude mountaineering and it is working great.
