"I bought this jacket for a winter summit attempt on Mt. Washington (100mph winds, -50* wind chill)

This is a very, VERY! warm parka. It's like wearing a sleeping bag this thing is so warm! I love it, very well made.

To address the wrist thing (in my mind a non-issue) I would suggest putting on mittens or glove liners first, then the coat, adjusting the wrist cuffs, and then your shell layer."
