Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face Men's Himalayan Snow Suit provides you with a warm and functional vehicle to help propel you to the top of the world's highest, coldest, and most remote summits. This full-body, 800-fill down suit features a water-resistant ripstop nylon shell backed by Gore Windstopper fabric for stout weather protection in alpine conditions. Laminated and taped baffles keep the insulation dry and in place, and the fully adjustable hood keeps the frostbite off your face. Adjustable internal suspenders keep the suit in place during technical sections, and The North Face added an interior radio pocket and two water bottle pockets to keep your water in liquid form. Abrasion reinforcements on the arms and seat hold up to rocky outcroppings, and a forearm D-ring holds your gloves when you need to adjust your knots."

From The North Face:
"The premier full-body suit for climbing 8,000-meter peaks, the Himalayan Suit is a necessity for athletes aiming to reach the top of the world. The North Face enhanced this suit to include Gore Windstopper Insulation Shell and a lighter-weight design."

"A wonderful one-piece suit for extreme conditions. Very well made, no cold or wet spots whatsoever, and fairly easy to move around in (considering what it was made for). Yes, the hood is large, and does restrict vision, but with three drawstrings it can be made to fit well, and I think the hood would accommodate an oxygen mask well."
