Please share your insights into very effective coats you wear to combat sub-freezing temperatures.
I know Canada Goose exists, but I'm hoping for a discussion on hidden gems that's not common knowledge in winter jacket world
I know that Parkas are what's being used in extreme cold conditions and the fur on edge of the hood is for effectively blocking off cold air and snow. Coats like Canada Goose has been proven in Arctic expeditions, and I'm wondering if there are others that are good values in terms of cost.
Two other brands that are most cost effective are Eddie Bauer and LL Bean, and the most obvious, the North Face. What do we look for in a well made winder coats that insulates the best?
So far I know one aspect is the value of down, but I notice Parkas usually have lower down value of 650, but I've also seen light down jackets with 800 fill.
