Warmest Jacket I've Ever Owned. Great Quality! The jacket had a satin like texture on my arms when I wore it with a short sleeve shirt. It was nice & puffy with a comfortable feel to it. I thought it would be even nicer if the thick down filled hood was detachable. I like the fact that rain drops that hit the jacket do not soak into the jacket's outer Hyvent shell, but rather kling to the outer shell looking like dew that you might see on lawn grass blades on an early Spring morning. If you shake like a dog with those dew drops on the jacket's outer shell, the rain drops fall right of the jacket preventing the jacket from getting soaked. Therefore, I felt that the jacket was worth every penny & certainly worth the wait for my proper size to be in stock. I left my name & e-mail address with Altrec to contact me as soon as they had my size in stock. A day after they e-mailed me, I submitted my order for The North Face Himalayan Parka & it only took a week to reach me with Altrec's free United Parcel Service Ground shipping. Overall, I was real satisfied with my purchase & the excellent warmth & water resistance that this parka provides me. The silky satin like texture of the interior of the parka feels so luxuriously comfortable that I enjoy wearing it to all occassions. Altrec even gave me a free one year subscription to National Geographic's Adventure magazine with the order I placed for the Men's The North Face Himalayan Down Parka.

Sets a new standard. I tried it on... and bought it 2 weeks later. It really puts everything else on a different level. Now I just need to find a place cold enough to use it. Mt. Washington may be the closest place that I can think off... Nicest piece of equipment - 100% attention to detail.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 1 of 2 found this review helpful.)

the holy grail of down jackets It took considerable effort to actually get the jacket (I live in NZ). It was worth it. The jacket is fantastic - extremely well made and incredibly warm. Bring on the next Ice Age! My only criticism would be - a sleeping bag style "stuff sack" would be useful to store this jacket when not in use - as it requires it's own seat in the car when not being worn. Very good value for money.
