User Review: Mountain Hardwear Absolute Zero Parka

Mountain Hardwear Absolute Zero Parka
Above: The current Absolute Zero Parka, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 1 of 5 stars
Fabric: Nylon rip-stop
Fill: 700
Price Paid: $525

There was a cold spot on my left arm between my wrist and elbow. As with other MH reviews, the down moves too much and there is not enough down. Other review sites report the same problems with other MH down jackets. By only wearing a T-shirt you find out real quick where the down is lacking. TNF Baltoro jacket also had a cold spot problem. Only Marmot appears to make down jackets w/o cold spots. The T-shirt test is the only way to properly try expensive down jackets.
