Agreed with the comments on how these are overpriced. May I suggest the superior down parka from Eddie Bauer. I’ve had mine for years (or at least a comparable version) and it’s still going strong. Alot less expensive, durable and has been tested in the Canadian winter - https://www.eddiebauer.de/herren/jacken/daunenjacken/superior-daunenparka-herren.html

Seconding this. I have an EB down parka, going strong after 5 years. Extremely warm, likely to last quite some time with my level of use. Great value for the price, especially if you can snag a coupon from a friend.

FYI - this is in Buffalo winters. I only wear it when it gets close to 20F or lower.

Note - I prioritized: fill, length, hood w/(synthetic but decent) fur, internal draw string and chest pockets to be comfortable.

Looks really similar to the other parkas in terms of specs :) seems to be sold out in Medium in the good colors though :/ lets see if I can get one in Medium

I saw that. I’m a medium as well! If you can swing it and probably pay a little for shipping, it would still be less than your other 2 options. Plus more colors to choose from 😀

Now I ordered the parka once in Medium (brown) and once in Large (black), seeing what fits me better :) also giving this jacket in Large a chance: https://www.eddiebauer.de/herren/jacken/daunenjacken/glacier-peak-daunenjacke-mit-kapuze-herren-schwarz-l.html?sp=2&isVariantId=1

As the prices are only half of what TNF and patagonia are I am curious about the quality of EB :)
