User Review: The North Face McMurdo Parka

The North Face McMurdo Parka
Above: The current McMurdo Parka, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 3.5 of 5 stars
Fabric: hyvent
Fill: down
Price Paid: $299.99

The neck is stiff. Doesn't lock out cold. Down in shoulders shifts leaving flat cold spots. I can't believe there is no way to tighten the collar.

Add a drawstring to the collar, do an 800 power fill to the shoulders or quilt the shoulders with the seams closer together maybe two inch strips, and it's 5 stars. But those two things are detrimental to the overall performance.
