This review is similiar to the MH Absolute Zero Parka review. Note: I have no circulation problems in my arms. There was a cold spot on the lower part of my left arm between my wrist and elbow. The down moves too much and there is not enough down. By only wearing a T-shirt you find out real quick where the down is lacking. MH Absolute Zero Jacket also had a cold spot problem. Only Marmot appears to make down jackets w/o cold spots. The T-shirt test is the only way to properly try expensive down jackets.
