From Backcountry.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero jacket surrounds you with 650-fill down for the coldest possible conditions this winter. Perfect for backcountry use, alpine climbing, or just kickin' around town, the Sub Zero is an incredible value from one of the true heavy hitters in outdoor clothing. You simply won't find down jackets of this quality at the Sub Zero's price. A nylon ripstop shell keeps this sweet jacket from exploding if you happen to snag it on a protruding rock fin or tree branch, and inset reinforcements at high-abrasion areas provide an extra amount of security. The fleece lined pockets keep those mitts extra toasty, and an inner zip security pocket is perfect for car keys or other valuables you can't afford to lose."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"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 outerwear that's going to protect and insulate you all the way back to civilization, which is why this 650-fill down Sub Zero Jacket is an essential fit for expeditions and extended climbs. You'll find reinforcement fabric along key abrasion areas of the garment and external pockets for your gear. This is expedition-quality protection for severe winter weather and high altitude conditions."

"Good jacket for the price, nice and warm but it could be longer. I'm slim and sort of lankey and it could have done with at least another inch or two in the body. Nice pockets."

"Well constructed but TOO SHORT! Why would I want a jacket for freezing cold weather that bares my middle when I bend or reach?"

"Overall, a nice, adequate down jacket - not too light, not too heavy. It's reasonably warm, but if the weather is below freezing and windy, you're going to get cold. If you're active (snowshoeing, hiking) then you'll be fine, but I would think that this jacket on a cold belay would be inadequate."

"I've owned the TNF Nuptse Jacket for over about 10 years, and when it finally got torn up by a tree branch I decided to purchase this jacket. I believe this jacket is much sturdier than the Nuptse Jacket because of the Taslan material covering the shoulders and the arms."

"This jacket does not deserve the name Sub Zero. There is simply not enough down in it.

I send my jacket in but it came without any change back.

"This jacket is quite warm for the weight, and has a very nice shell. If it is windy you will need a windbreaker, (windstopper fleece underneath would be perfect) but other than that it is very warm. If I were to do it again, however, I would probably get a Feathered Friends jacket with a higher fill power for greater stuffability."

"I was told, when attempting to make a choice between this and North Face's Nuptse Jkt that neither of them were windproof. . . that they were "inside layers" to be protected by a Gore-tex.

Well, It has been cold enough so far here in Montreal."

Very nice jacket. It's kept me warm without being hot in a variety of temperatures from 40 to 0 degrees fahrinheit. Hand pockets are lined with fleece and are very comfy. It also has a cavernous internal pocket. The only problems I've encountered have been that the pocket zippers ocasionally snag and the elastic cord around the waist and behind the back work together to pull your shirt up to your mid-belly unless its tucked in.
