excellent jacket! i absolutely love this coat. it is more compact that i expected which is great b/c warmth is not compromised. Warm enough to wear alone, but yet not too bulky to wear as an insulating layer beneath a shell with really cold conditions.

Amazing Coat It's so soft inside and out, and the pockets are so warm and comfy, too. The parka is amazingly lightweight, and can be made to fit in very tight spaces. I couldn't believe there was a parka in the box when it arrived, because the box was relatively small and so light. Most importantly, of course, it keeps me extremely warm with no layering underneath. When first taking it out of the box, I was thinking, "How can this be that good of an insulating coat???" But I have been out in sub 5F temperatures in it for decent periods of time, with only a short-sleeved T-shirt underneath, and that part of my body did not get cold at all. The pink color is perfect. The coat looks good/cute.... it's just terrific. In case it helps anyone, I am 5'7" 135 lbs., and I got a size 8. But based on the sizing chart and my measurements, I should have gotten a size 10. If the sleeve on the 8 were any shorter, they would be too short, but I have fairly long arms. I probably would have preferred the extra inch length in the arms that the 10 would have given, but the rest of the size of the 10 would have been too big, despite that being where I should fit based on my measurements. The size 8 is basically perfect for me. You definitely don't want to go bigger than you need, because you won't need/want to layer underneath.

Way better than TNF Nuptse Pros:1. Zip-off hood for versatility; hood also velcros in front from nose down--a major protection against frigid wind 2. Includes separate stuff sack--so much easier than trying to squeeze the Nuptse in its stow pocket 3. Two-way zips--surprising useful. I slightly unzip the lower portion when sitting down so it's less restrictive & bulky at the waist or when acessing my pant pockets--this way, I don't have to untoggle then retoggle lower hemcords or lift the entire jacket bottom, which could allow cold to seep in from the back 4. I tried MH's phantom down jacket, but this one's worth the extra 12 ounces--hem & sleeve lengths longer and a down hood is priceless. The parka's extra features are also an advantage over The North Face's Nuptse--& it's cheaper! Don't worry about MH's 650 fill vs TNF's 700 fill--this thing kept me perfectly toasty during a sub-freezing Sierra snowstorm. Cons: None so far..maybe in general, I've found MH's sizing inconsistent-- I suggest trying it on at a store first, then purchase through Altrec. I'm 5'4, 115 lbs & fit the size 4 parka best. Yet when I was debating between MH's Synchro or Alchemy softshells, I needed a 6 for the Synchro, but an 8 for Alchemy. I haven't figured out their sizing formula...
