User Review: The North Face Men's McMurdo Parka

Rating: rated 2.5 of 5 stars
Fill: Down
Price Paid: $379

I live in the Wyoming Rockies at 9000 ft elevation. The Jet Stream drops low here, and I needed a parka that would keep me warm in the below zero winters. This parka does not do the job.

At zero degrees to minus ten degrees there are cold spots in the back of the shoulders running down both arms. These are extreme. There is a serious lack of down insulation in these areas.

The drawstrings are hidden inside pockets. They are far too difficult to use.

It seems to me North Face has gone the way of "Pop Clothing". Once their popularity hit among high school and college students, their quality dropped and was replaced by fancy logo.

I do not recommend.
