From REI:
"The Big Parka from Marmot is weather-ready and extremely warm. From frigid Alaska to the windy streets of Chicago, you won't find a better winter friend. Durable shell uses a Gore-Tex® Performance 2-layer waterproof, breathable laminate to fend off snow, wind and wetness; fully taped seams prevent moisture seepage. Premium 700-fill-power goose down is extremely warm, lightweight and compressible. Polyester lining wicks moisture away from your body to help regulate temperature and dries quickly when damp. Versatile zip-off, down-filled hood with drawcord adjustment provides immediate protection from inclement weather. Double stormflap seals out drafts; DriClime®-lined chin guard is easy on skin. Drawcord hem and elastic, rip-and-stick adjustable cuffs help keep warmth in and cold out. Open-top handwarmer pockets and zippered chest pockets have flap closures. Abundant interior pockets include a security pocket, an open-top stretch-mesh pocket and 2 essentials pockets. Angel-Wing Movement™ sleeve construction allows unrestricted range of motion."

"At 6'4" and 200 lbs this parka in XL fits me comfortably with room to spare. Typically, I order 2XL coats for a proper fit, but this truly big parka is big enough to fill the needs of my generous frame.

On a side note, I was only able to obtain the odd Inca color much to the dismay of my wife and children, but my main concern is with function over form (typical male logic)."

"I have owned NF outerwear for decades and seen the quality go down while their popularity skyrocketed. This parka is the warmest most well thought out and put together I have ever owned. The combination of down and Gore Tex is what I was looking for and does not disappoint."
