This 650-fill down jacket features Taslan reinforcements on the shoulders and arms for resisting harsh mountain abrasion. Two fleece handwarmer pockets keep blood flowing in your digits, and the Sub Zero compresses quickly for easy transport."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The dependable standard in outdoor insulation, the classic Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Jacket for men 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 extended climbs and backcountry skiing adventures. You'll find reinforcement fabric along the shoulder and arm in key abrasion areas and external fleece lined pockets to warm your digits and quickly stow some gear. This is expedition-quality protection for severe winter weather and high altitude conditions."

"As with many jackets, no matter the type, its warmth is dependent on what you're doing while wearing. The more heat you pump into it the more it insulates.

For instance, this weekend was around 25F in the morning, nothing too cold, but cold enough for me to wear this."

"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.
