Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"For the ultimate in nasty weather, you'll want the ultimate in down coats. The Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Parka covers you in 650-fill down to keep you warm, and is made with Conduit laminate to be water- and windproof. Nutshell Taslan reinforcement is super tough to resist the ravages of pack straps, rock and the rest of the abuse you put your poor, innocent coats through. The Parka compresses down mind-bendingly small into the included stuff sack. The Sub Zero's down-filled hood gives you super warmth for super cold conditions, and it snaps off easily. Baffle construction keeps the down where it belongs so it doesn't all shift to one end of the coat."

"I bought this jacket on a pro-deal as my second down jacket. I had previously owned the Eastern Mountain Sports Rover Down jacket but realized that I needed a more technical package.

Currently I primarily I use it for late night photography at the beaches in Maine during the winter."

"At 6'1" and 185 lbs. the X-Lrg size fits me just right. The parka gives you great coverage in the back. Great reinforcement in areas of high wear.

I researched many different down jackets and this one has better reinforcements, more fill weight, bigger pockets and a longer cut in back for total coverage."

"I purchased this parka for a mid-summer climb of Mt. Rainier. While it does have a lot of good features it didn't quite meet my needs. I agree with most of what the reviewer before me pointed out: great fit with room to layer, durable and functional shell materials, pockets are excellent, the hood has a good shape to it, and it appears to be very well constructed."

"The Mountain Hardwear SL Hooded Parka is a fantastic insulating layer. The parka is three inches longer than the jacket model, but it weighs just 1 oz. more. The extra length provides excellent protection against wind gusts and the feel of the parka is comparable to wearing a sleeping bag."
