Comments about REI Triad Parka - Men's:

So I took this jacket with me to the summit of Kilimanjaro earlier this month and it preformed beautifully! At the summit it was -7F and i was still comfortably warm in this jacket. Actually at times a bit too warm, but i'll take that any day. Great jacket at a good price, it's well worth the money and i'm sure i'll be taking it on many an adventure to come!

Great coat for all seasons. I wanted something I can wear over dress clothes and not look like I am headed to Mount Everest. Yet, it holds up at the top of Vail in Colorado. Exactly what I was looking for and the price was right. Thanks again REI!

Comments about REI Triad Parka - Men's:

Has been great so far this winter. I have a North Face down jacket which is very warm but it is bulky and has a thin non-waterproof shell on it that I'm afraid I might rip. This jacket is not as warm but more than makes up for it with the waterproofing, durability, and versitilty it offers with the removable liner which can be worn seperately as a lighter jacket.

Jacket is great. Love the media pockets in both the inner and outer shell. Three-in-one is the way to go. The inner layer is warm and blocks a lot of wind. The outer layer breathes really well. I am glad that I got the waterproof instead of water resistant outer shell.

Comments about REI Triad Parka - Men's:

Bought this jacket for the cold, midwestern winter. I love it. Comfortable inner jacket and lining, not fleece which gets too hot. Limited use of velcro which sticks to too many things. It's lightweight for such a warm jacket. It never gets too hot inside and has a nice matte shell. Bottom line is that it's comfortable, looks great, love the inner jacket and not too heavy.

Comments about REI Triad Parka - Men's:

I just moved to Detroit after six years in southern california. When it started to get cold, I realized I didn't have anything like a real winter coat any more.

My experience so far with winter in Detroit is that it alternates (practically daily) between cold and dry, cool but wet, cold and snowy, and cold and rainy. I was glad to find a non-puffy winter coat that works for any of those conditions.

The liner is great at keeping me warm, the shell is an excellent windbreaker and raincoat. I was advised by the salesperson that the proper way to layer the coat (for warmth) is to detach the liner from the shell and just wear both zipped up individually, which has worked well for me so far.

I have one, relatively minor complaint about the coat: When wearing the shell alone or when wearing both with the liner detached, the fasteners inside the sleeves (to hold the liner's sleeves in place) scratch my wrist in a somewhat annoying fashion. I might eventually just cut them out, but I didn't want to start physically altering the coat right after getting it.

One of the best things about the coat (apart from it doing a good job of keeping me warm/dry in the various weather conditions I am facing) is the abundance of pockets.

The last thing worth mentioning is that I like the material on the inner collar of the shell (I think the official description is that the "collar is lined with brushed tricot"). Since the shell covers the lower half of my face when it is zipped all the way, the collar lining makes a big difference for comfort.

Comments about REI Triad Parka - Men's:

I've had this parka for over a month and used several times in very cold and windy days where temps fell well below freezing with sustained winds. Wind chill was in the single digits. This parka fits great and looks just as good. The removable outer shell contains a good 3/4 of the weight but in cold, windy weather, it's not a problem. The overall weight is reasonable as it is wind and water proof. The female version has pit-zips which would have been really nice on this coat. The inner lining is very comfortable with out the outer shell and can be worn casually. I often hike with the shell off as it can get stuffy with out the pit zips. That being said, if you do hike without the shell, you will pull the stitching on the lining. The stitching is not imbedded or tightly made and tree limbs will pull the threading out. Granted I didn't pay $250 for just an insulated jacket and I suppose REI wants the shell on at all times, but you will find it gets a bit heave and stuffy. Hiking with the shell off will result in torn stitching.

Comments about REI Triad Parka - Men's:

I've been wearing the parka without the liner, over suits, for everyday, back and forth between home and office. Roomy enough and sheds water well. I wish the snorkel collar would lie down, unless I choose to zip it all the way up. Other than that, excellent and versatile coat.

Comments about REI Triad Parka - Men's:

I mostly use this coat for the walk to work, so far I haven't seen too many extra cold days but the ones we have had I have stayed nice and warm. It is also very good in the rain, stayed completely dry in the areas covered by the jacket in a total down pour during my 20 min walk to work the other day.

Only complaint so far is the outside pockets are not as deep as i would like and are kind of low to comfortably keep your hands warm. Also inside chest pocket is designed for an MP3 player but I prefer the standard deep wallet pocket on every other coat I own.

Comments about REI Triad Parka - Men's:

-This is the most perfect fitting jacket I have ever bought.
-Waterproof, warm and extremely comfortable.
-I use the jacket as an everyday jacket from the beginning of the fall season through the spring season. The 'three' jackets are perfect for fall, winter and spring. You can wear the outer shell when it is warm and rainy, the inner puffy coat when it is a bit chilly and then zip them together in the winter.
