Can anyone be of assistants. I am trying to determine what size I should purchase. I am 5’7″ 168lbs. w/ 31″ waist. I’m on the fit body type. Thank you if you have any suggestions.

You should take a look at the parka shell and liner from Northern Outfitters. The men and women in the Iditarod and Yukon Quest wear this cold weather gear. They know a safe, dry, comfortable parka, snow pants, boots and mitten system if anybody does.

Backcountry.com had a number of sizes available. I bought a XXL last week for $495. Free shipping. Love the jacket, very warm, fits me well at 6’2 245. Zipper is going to be a problem. Will try candle wax on tracks

Anybody know of shops still having the Himalayan Parka in stock? And at a good price? Currently residing in Scandinavia and the need for this kind of a jacket is very much present, but all the shops seem to be sold out for all but size XS.

Also I am 5’11 and 160 lbs. I am thinking about the size LARGE, but I don’t want the jacket larger than I have to.

Any info appreciated.
