Mountain Hardwear Men's Sub Zero SL Hooded Down Jacket
If you stop and think about it, a dependable climbing jacket 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 jacket that's going to protect and insulate you all the way back to civilization, which is why this 650-fill down Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket is such an essential fit for expeditions and extended climbs. It offers waterproof/breathable performance in the form of a special Conduit™ SL laminate that facilitates vapor transfer without sacrificing body heat. You'll find reinforcement fabric along all key abrasion areas of the garment and plenty of internal and external pockets for gear.
- Nylon ripstop and taslan shell with a waterproof breathable Conduit™ SL laminate
- 650-fill down insulation in a baffle construction
- Nylon taffeta lining fabric
- Reinforced fabric in key abrasion areas
- Elastic Velcro® cuffs
- Zippered fleece-lined handwarmer pockets
- Zippered chest pocket
- Internal zippered pocket
- Mesh water bottle pocket
- One-handed hem and lower back drawcords

Jonathan McNeill - 2008-07-14Excellent cold weather gear
Mountain Hardwear makes excellent cold weather clothing. This jacket is no exception - it is very light in weight, but will keep you warm in the coldest conditions. The hood and face protection do a great job as well.

shipping is a little slow, all others are good!
GR Manganaro - 2008-02-04Great Hooded Jacket
Sizing note holds true, I ordered one size down and it fit the way I like it to. This jacket is worm and made well. I like the way they make their products a little shorter. I will be ordering more of their jackets, when the one I want becomes available.

Anonymous - 2008-01-21very lightweight and very warm
Make sure you get one size larger than your regular sizing. I got a M for my husband and the inseam was just too short. If you bent down, the back area would be exposed to elements. I had to sent it back for an exchange for a L size. Otherwise, the jacket is extremely well made. I would suggest this MH company to improve on the design by elongating the waist length to at least one-two inch longer to a parka length. Then the jacket would be perfect. Five stars for the warmth factor. Four stars to the design.
Philippe Dorval - 2007-12-10Excellent deal
Great jacket for the cold canadian weather. Extremely warm and very light for it's size.
Logan - 2007-11-04Great Deal
Amazingly light jacket and yet it is still incredibly warm. Cuts the wind like no other. Great price for such a quality jacket.
Jeff Parshall - 2007-07-28Great Quality
Great Quality Jacket. First Mountain Hardware item, very pleased. Great service, arrived early! Exceeded my expectations, normal for Altrec!
Peter Horan - 2007-05-21Great storm coat
Just back from a Mount Shasta summit attempt. At 13,000 feet we got hammered by a whiteout snow storm and gale force winds. The SubZero SL kept hypothermia at bay. Although it got a little damp, the jacket kept its warmth well even lower on the mountain when the snow turned to rain. This jacket is heavier and bulkier than some, but it's a great coat when the weather turns really bad.
Kristian - 2007-04-20Warm and compact with great hood
This jacket is very nice. It's warm, with no cold spots. I use it with my backpack, and the down on the back gets squeezed out to the sides, but its no problem getting the down back into place. The hood is awesome, and the fleece in the hand warmer pockets is really comfortable. Shopping at Altrec is very easy, even for a Norwegian.
Rodney Rovang - 2007-02-16Unless you are going to Everest this is the jacket.
I just spent the weekend watching ski jumping in Wisconsin and was standing in all afternoon in 10 F. and was very comfortable without using the hood yet. I could jump into a car and drive for an hour and not over heat. It is very warm and comfortable with a great look. I normally wear size large in non-down jackets and X-large in down to prevent compaction. With this jacket I definitely recommend going up one size for layering and a little added length in the torso. It is puffy but has a nice tailored cut that forms nicely to the body. It has baffels, DWR, wear reinforcements, and great bang for the buck value. It is my go to jacket for cold weather.
Ryan Heuwinkel - 2007-02-06Fantastic combination of form and function
When its cold enough to need a down coat, you may as well have the hood. This jacket insulates well and blocks wind. As I expect from Mountain Hardwear, the construction is sturdy. I expect I'll be wearing this for many more Montana winters.
Gustavo Pigino - 2007-01-17Light, warm, very resistent, extremely wind proof.
It is an outstanding jacket. Very light, extremely warm and plenty of space for store things. I have used for riding my motorcycle, the temperature was 29 degrees Fahrenheit and I was riding at 80 miles per hour and the jacket is 100% wind proof. One feature that I like a lot is the very well designed and warm detachable hood. The jacket is superb in any respect.
PETER - 2007-01-11bullet-proof gear!
I didn't find anything that I didn't like about this jacket. Great design, efficient, meets every need that I was looking for in one jacket.
mh - 2007-01-02Great jacket
I just bought this jacket and find that I love all the features that are included. It is definitely is much more puffy than the pictures reveal, and is crazy warm. Can't wait to head out this winter in it.
Drew Peterson - 2006-10-25Reliable, Water Proof, Warm...
This has been my cold weather ice climbing/belay/at camp parka. Ive used it in sub zero temperatures and I've lived to tell the tale. The waterproof Conduit SL shell is what sold me on this jacket in the first place. In a total downpour the water beads up, but eventually makes the jacket sloppy and heavy. In snow, sleet and freezing rain (the most common precipitation you are bound to encounter in this jacket) I have never had a problem, nor have I been worried that the integrity and warmth of the jacket could become compromised. For the price, the jacket is a solid piece of equipment. I've had the jacket for two years, worn it HARD and its still kicking. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks.
Anonymous - 2006-03-06great parka, a little short
This is a fantastic parka. It compressed down to a very small size, and the hood is very comfortable. This kept me very warm at the summit of kilimanjaro and in freezing weather in the mountains of north carolina. My one complaint is that its a bit short and if you have a long torso you may be disappointed; for me it reached to a few inches below my waist. Its warm enough that on a cold night with some fleece pants and underwear I could sleep outside my bag if I wanted to.
Randy - 2006-02-12Aptly Named
This is an excellent addition to my cold-weather gear. The construction seems to be quite good overall and the zippers (the detail I always examine first) are first-rate. The hood is well designed and keeps you toasty without obscuring your vision; it zips on and off easily. Be warned, this jacket is aptly named; this is a VERY warm jacket. For serious hiking, I would not even consider wearing this jacket until the temps hover around 0 degrees as I find it too warm when the temps are higher. However, it is teriffic for everyday, non-athletic activities around town. All in all, a great value.
J. Dmytrowich - 2005-12-30Perfect for Canadian winters!
This is a great bomber style down jacket. It looks good enough to wear around town with the hood zipped off and warm enough to handle the coldest Canadian winters with the hood up. The hood is wonderful and I wouldn't be wihout it. The jacket is well constructed with many well thought out features. Mountain Hardwear impresses me once again with their quality and attention to detail.
Ian - 2005-12-28Wonderful
Outstanding in every respect. Very light, very warm, etc with lots of nice extra details/features I've discovered over time. Nicely water resistant, yet breathable, shell for a down jacket and not it's too puffy for driving.
Good length for active use but I'd also consider the longer MH SubZero SL parka as well for more casual wearing.
Anonymous - 2005-12-17Hot stuff
I bought this jacket for sedentary activities like watching football games. I was always freezing and wanted something to keep me warm. The jacket is like a sub-zero sleeping bag. I bought the jacket instead of the parka in case I ever decide to use it for winter climbing/mountaineering. A good addition to any jacket collection.

I tested my new jacket yesterday during the ice storm here in the mountains of Va. The roads were bad, so I had to hike several miles to work in horizontal sleet, snow and freezing rain. The jacket kept me very warm, and shed all of the water and ice like a champ! The neck protection is especially nice. I feel very confident taking it out for serious outdoor trips this winter.
Anonymous - 2005-12-05Phat and warm
Teriffically warm jacket -- performs well in New England winter climate. I'm warm! Tough, sheds water, light, stuffs down to a small package. I'm 5'2", 120 lbs, female, and the men's XS fits well. I can get away with a size S also. A baselayer plus another jacket (softshell) fits underneath if needed and doesn't hinder movement. Shopping at Altrec is easy, the deals are good, and returns are not a hassle.
SHAYNE - 2005-12-04HOT HOT HOT
FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WORRY ABOUT TREND SETTING, BUY THE NORTH FACE. FOR EVERYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO BE TOASTY AND DRY THIS WINTER, BUY MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR. THIS COAT JUST SIMPLY WORKS, PERIOD. DO THE BRAND COMPARISON AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
Anonymous - 2005-12-03A great bargain that doesn't look like one!
Got the jacket a couple weeks ago and I was impressed with its water resistent shell right out of the box. Tap water just rolled right off of it, and it also looks great compared with non-laminated nylon. The genreal design and worksmanship detail that went into this jacket appeared excellent, much better than other brand name jackets in this price range that I checked out at various sports stores in Toronto, which don't even come with a hood. Haven't had a chance to really test it out in the elements yet, but I fully expect it to perform as described in the other reviews. The one thing that kinda bothers me now is the shortness of the torso - the bottom of the front of this jacket only comes down to the top portion the sleeve cuff, and the back maybe an inch or so longer than that. I had to pull the botton drawstring tight to provent cold air from going up walking around town. However this may become an advantage for high exertion activities like hiking and snowboarding. I'll soon find out...
bmsermd - 2005-08-22great e business
Altrec does it right! My third purchase from Altrec and I continue to be impressed. Great customer service. Fantastic return policy that is simple, hastle free and they even pay for the return via a printable USPS form.
Mountain Hardware Jacket is exactly as advertised.
Will test it out in Nepal in 3 weeks and get back.
