Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear Men's Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket surrounds you with 650-fill down for the coldest possible conditions this winter. Mountain Hardwear's most popular down jacket, the Sub Zero SL is cloaked in Conduit SL-the company's proprietary water resistant, breathable fabric, allowing you to wear the Sub Zero SL skiing in drier climates and cruising around town while those fat flakes pile up. The seams in the baffles are not sewn-through, much like a high-quality sleeping bag. This means there is no true separation of the insulation at the seams, so you stay warmer and more comfortable, without the cold spots common in sewn-through down garments. The hood is detachable, and the fleece-lined collar and hand pockets keep you extra comfortable. An interior mesh water-bottle pocket is super handy for backcountry excursions, and of course, Mountain Hardwear's quality is legendary-there are few companies that match their excellence."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket is designed for mountaineering, alpine climbing and all backcountry snowsports. The Sub Zero SL Hooded jacket has a Conduit SL laminate fabric which has both an exterior DWR coating and an inner membrane that resists water penetration, 650 down fill, baffled construction and a detachable hood. The Sub Zero SL Hooded jacket average weight size large is 2lbs. 4oz. Center back length is 29" (1"longer than Sub Zero Jacket, 3" shorter than Sub Zero SL Parka).

From Altrec Outdoors:
"If you stop and think about it, 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 jacket that's going to protect and insulate you all the way back to civilization, which is why this 650-fill down Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket is such an essential fit for expeditions and extended climbs. It offers waterproof/breathable performance in the form of a special Conduit SL laminate that facilitates vapor transfer without sacrificing body heat. You'll find reinforcement fabric along all key abrasion areas of the garment and plenty of internal and external pockets for gear."

"I've had this jacket for at least 5 years. It's been on one major expedition and numerous climbs in the Cascades. The longer I own it the more I like it. I'm a bit rough on it, stuffing it in the top of my pack along with screws and other sharp stuff, but there is not a single puncture or rip in the fabric."

"Excellent jacket. Looks good and fits good. Shell is windproof and it's reinforced in the right spots. Plenty long to cover down to the hips and you can wear this over a shell if necessary.

Pockets (5) are great. The two big lower pockets are fleece lined."
