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.

I sent back the FF Frontpoint and ordered the TNF Himalayan. It is longer in the torso and feels great. Not as puffy as the Frontpoint and the fabric is not as durable feeling as the Event, but I do like the look better. Trying it tomorrow while ice fishing on Milacs in N. MN
