An essential piece of gear for cold weather backcountry expeditions, the Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Parka for women is insulated with 650-fill goose down toasty warmth. Lightweight, packable and wind resistant, this Polyester Z-Rip shell provides a host of additional shelter warmth with it's detachable down hood, non-chaffing micro-chamois lined collar and chin guard comfort. Drawcords close in body heat at the hood, hem and back, while articulated sleeves allow for a critical move when it's really needed.
Great Coat
A comfortable, very light, very warm coat. The hood is the best I've had and the chin warmer is excellent. I haven't had a chance to wear it on one of our sub-zero upstate NY days but am sure it will be warm. The coat does run large and there's a logo on the chest that doesn't appear in the picture.
Great jacket for an incredible price!
Great jacket. I bought it for myself, but it does run a size larger so I gave it to my daughter in Alaska who loves it!! Loves the length and great coverage provided by the hood. She is able to comfortably layer with the jacket. Now to find one in my size.
Price is right, definitely runs big
As most of the other reviewers said, this jacket definitely runs big. I'm almost always a solid Medium so I bought the Medium thinking that it would work out perfectly for layering underneath for mountaineering. Had to return it and get a Small though, which is perfect even with all of the layers underneath (long underwear, fleece, and shell). Got the Lemongrass color and LOVE it. Though it doesn't have the waterproofing like the Sub Zero Jacket, the price on this Parka is much more affordable! Would definitely recommend.

Summit worthy!
This coat took me to the summit of two mountains. Weather conditions were less than ideal! I did appreciate past reviews on sizing. I am 5'1' and 99#. Being a mountaineer does require layering. This coat allowed me to do so without bulk.
Great jacket...runs a bit big
Love this jacket. Warm, cozy and lightweight...although it runs quite a bit bigger than another Mountain Hardwear jacket I own. But it's worth it to have some butt coverage! Please do buy from Altrec; their customer service was outstanding. Someone in distribution had screwed up, and my jacket wasn't going to arrive in time for my trip to Peru...but customer service worked for most of a day and FedEx'd the jacket to my connecting plane flight. It was at the gate in Atlanta when I arrived! Way beyond the call, and many thanks, since nights on Lake Titicaca were in the 30's.
toasty warm!
I absolutely love this jacket - it is very lightweight,super comfortable and incredibly warm. Easy to move around in. Have had a few stray feather come through, but not many. I am average - 5'6" an 120# and ordered a small which fit perfectly.
Highly recommend!
Great coat!
This coat is really lightweight but very warm. It fits well and looks great!
HUGE
I am 5'3" and I usually wear a women's large or x-large. This jacket literally swallowed me! I will probably order a medium in this jacket for it to fit properly. But it will definitely keep me warm and I love the lemongrass color
toasty puffer
A purchase for my wife: 5'8"/ 130 / slender torso / broad shoulders & long arms - size M.
She gets cold & this thing keeps her warm. She like the Lemongrass colour & it's easy to see to pull out of the pack. The hood & length sold her the parka over the jacket, though the greater water resistance of the latter was desirable.
Fit: bulky, but hey! it's a puffer. Typical MH cut - shorter, squarer & fairly trim (though you can't tell just how much, of course), with nicely lined pockets, good draws, etc.. Fabric is not shiny, like some.
Bottom line: Warm enough to lower the rating on your winter bag if you wear it to bed.
Caveat: MH fabric is light & catches easily. Don't be upset if you find a run or two after an extended outing.
Nice features but poor cut
I bought this jacket hoping it would be a nice throw-on to keep me warm all winter. Although it's very light and warm, with some nice technical features (zip-off down hood, ripstop fabric, two-way zippers, fleece-lined pockets, hem drawcord, inner pocket & stuff sack) the cut was too untailored to be comfortable for anything other than lounging or hiking. Usually I wear a size S or M, and decided to get the M in this jacket, which ended up being way too huge in the chest/main body, but just right in length & arms. (I'm 5'7" 128 lbs.) So unfortunatley I'm returning it. If you don't mind the marshmallow look, it might be OK, just go on the small side!
