Fjallraven  Expedition Down Jacket - Men's

This parka is warmer than anything else I own. I wear it in Montana in -30 weather with high winds on the east side of the Rockies—and I feel like I could literally lie down in the snow and take a nap outside if I wanted. I bought this because I work on call and occasionally have to wake up from my warm bed and go to work outside in this kind of weather. This parka makes it bearable. The parka is bulky and hard to move in. It’s hard to even get buckled into a vehicle because you have to wait for the down to compress. But it will keep you warm. I have not been able to test waterproofness. If you need something ridiculously warm at the expense of bulk

You will never be cold again. This is really meant for hardcore cold situations. Took it on a trip to Canada in January and it performed well. The zipper is a little difficult to get started, but other than that it is perfect.

Warm, well made jacket. But, a few really frustrating downsides. First and foremost, the area around the neck and chin is very stiff and uncomfortable when zipped up fully. Its also too low to cover the neck and chin, exposing those areas. When zipped up, I expect my neck to be covered. The drawstrings at the bottom also don't go very tight, creating lots of space for heat to escape and cold air to enter. The wrist cuffs are also not comfortable at all when tightened. They use a snap which requires the material to fold in which presses against the wrist. Will have to return mostly due to the uncomfortable neck area, just can't deal with that when it's - 20

This is by far the warmest coat I own. It is fantastic. I can't recommend it more strongly. It is a bulky, puffy, impenetrable fortress of warmth--so you need to know what you're buying. In Montana, I've worn this in temperatures as low as -30 Fahrenheit and have been perfectly warm. I could lay down in the snow and take a nap if I wanted. When I wear this out at about 15-25 Fahrenheit, I can actually feel myself warming up (rather than getting colder) while standing outside. If you need to stay warm at all costs, you can't do any better than this. I frequently have to leave home unpredictably during the wee morning hours in arctic cold, and this is exactly what I needed. The main downside is that it's very puffy and very bulky. It's a bit awkward to buckle up, and the coat is conspicuous when worn in public because it's so puffy. But it looks good, and it's blazing hot at crazy cold temperatures, and I love it.

Very warm parka for cold days. Thick and somewhat bulky but not heavy at all. LOVE the warmth but wish they would reverse the zipper (it is a European left handed pull or what we Americans call a “women’s zipper”) otherwise HIGH QUALITY, WARM, SUSTAINABILITY MADE. Far better than more $$ Canada Goose

Extremely warm coat. I don't bother wearing it above 20F or so. As others have mentioned, the zipper is finicky. Beefy, but finicky. One of the reviews mentioned that a higher fill power down (and removing feathers) would result in a less bulky coat without sacrificing warmth. For the premium price, one would expect this to be incorporated into the base project. I use this in Michigan winters to step outside for too short a time to warm up by walking. It makes me brave enough to go out when I otherwise would not. It's too warm for outdoor exercise though. Once you come up to temperature, you'll want to switch it out.

I was looking for a VERY warm coat for the coldest days. This coat IS exceptionally warm. In New England and it keeps me warm on days close to 0 F. It is bulky (as one would expect) but does not feel too heavy. Hood has nice fit and adjustment. Great pockets. My only issue (minor) is that the zipper on the men's coat zips like a female zipper and is hard to adjust to for a male.

I got this jacket for my son to wear during out vacation in Northern Scandinavia. Man, this jacket was everything we expected and then some. Firstly, it's WARM. And I mean whale watching in Tromso warm; walking around Kiruna and Abisko in -35°C warm; kinda way-too-warm for the -15 Stockholm warm. Basically, super-frigid temps were never an issue. Disclaimer: we also had quality base and midlayers. There there the weight and was LIGHT! also, very very packable- perfect as a pillow or cushion. The multitude of clever pockets and fastenings were the cherry on top. And if a teen says he'll use this item for the next 10 years because it's that great, you know you have a winner.

Stunningly warm coat. I wear it while walking my dog (a long coat gsd who loves the cold) in the middle of the winter along the Hudson with windchills down to -19f (-28C) with only a T-shirt and I stay totally warm. I have yet to encounter any cold weather this coat cannot more than handle. It’s far too warm for temperatures above freezing, and very bulky so it doesn’t have much going for it in terms of style.

The zipper is IMPOSSIBLE to operate. I don’t even care that the pull is on the left. It takes me 15 minutes of struggling to get the zipper pulls aligned so I can zip it. And getting it unzipped is just as hard—enough to induce mild panic. Too bad, as this coat is otherwise just what I expected—huge and crazy warm. I will say that even in size small, the sleeves hang over my fingertips. I wear a 32/33 sleeve. I could probably have accepted that if not for the impossible zipper. It’s baffling because it’s a sturdy-looking YKK zipper.
