From RockCreek:
"The Down Parka by Patagonia is a full coverage down parka for winter mountaineering. The northernmost latitudes don't have an exclusive on arctic cold. For Patagonia's Down Parka- meant to feel at home anywhere that climbers battle frigid temps on summit pushes- they use 800-fill-power down and a polyester shell fabric that's extremely tough and durable, lightweight, windproof, downproof and water-repellent. New this season: articulated baffles to keep the down evenly distributed for optimal warmth, fit and mobility. The drawcorded hood's small draft tube cleanly encircles your face; internal mesh drop-in pockets stow water bottles or spare mitts; zippered handwarmer pockets are diagonally oriented. Other fine points include soft, light, perforated hook-and-loop elasticized wrist cuffs and new reinforcements at the shoulders and cuffs for greater durability. Fit is relaxed for layering."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Winter alpinism's challenges are complex, but brutal cold calls for a simple solution. We use the best down (800-fill-power) and a new polyester shell fabric: extremely tough and durable, but still lightweight, windproof and, like the lining, downproof and water-repellent. The drawcord hood's small draft tube cleanly encircles your face; internal mesh drop-in pockets stow water bottles or spare mitts. Other fine points include soft, light, perforated hook-and-loop elasticized wrist cuffs and new reinforcements on shoulders and cuffs for greater durability. Fit is relaxed for layering. Deluge DWRPatagonia?s proprietary durable water repellent fabric finish, Deluge DWR, lasts substantially longer than standard DWRs. Garments with the Deluge DWR finish have like-new repellency after years of extensive use."

"INTRO:
Patagonia's only expedition worthy Down Parka and also their least environmentally friendly product will appeal to many urban shoppers for its warmth-to-weight ratio. There are other makers of similar jackets like Outdoor Research's Megaplume ($299), The North Face's Baltoro ($499) and Himalyan ($599) models and Marmot's Parbat ($325), etc that basically sell the same thing for cheaper or sell you a more durable down parka with better protection for the same price and up."

"Just received it and I'm a bit surprised how large is large. I'm 6 feet with long arms so it is okay but if there wouldn't be adjustment on it I would look like the Hip Hop Yo man. Very nice parka. Can't wait to test it at -40C.

Thx, Patagonia"

"This jacket is deceptively warm for its weight. I've had it for a week now, and used it for two separate trips. During both trips, it has proven to be ideal for making what would normally be uncomfortable belaying, camping, and sleeping conditions, easily tolerable."
