A goose down parka with a snorkel hood and outer shell would be better for extream conditions. Actually I think that they have figured out how to do better with synthetic materials now a days

IS IT SUPPOSED TO SMOKE LIKE THAT?

Depends where you live. In my part the lowest it'll go is about 10 degrees but if you go to other parts of Australia you'll get sub zero temperatures.
I've still got my $25 Nike jacket I bought just outside Las Vegas that has lasted a few snow trips and all over America. -

I am not a fashion shopper. Although I do try to buy products made only in my country. (Thats not a political thing, it's a good for your own community thing) Only 100% cotton next to my skin. heavier deninm or wool for the outer layer. I admit that I do have some cotton blends but not many. I go for the function and not the fashion, Ain't trying to impress anybody. Fur is a good natural item but its to hard to maintain and not durable for my lifestyle. Wool is a good choice for durabilty and function and is generaly considered a sound fashion choice. (No gay alarms please) I am talking real he man outerwear here, plaid and camo patterns Yea com'on, Reddneck and back woods, Well doggie!IS IT SUPPOSED TO SMOKE LIKE THAT? -
Want to stay warm, this is the only winter clothing I buy besides Carhart.

Shit lasts forever and I put a beating on outerwear. And if you screw it up you send it back and they fix it. About the only thing they don't guarantee is if you burn it and wear and tear from long use. -
Carhart Arctic Wear is good stuff -- made in michigan and sold all over around here ...

wool is still one of the best things to wear as a layer -- stays warm when wet"Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems." - Rene Descartes (1596-1650) -
