Men's Titanium Glacier To Glade ll Parka

Very warm jacket!
Bought this for my husband, perfect for the winter storms and all our outdoor activities! It still remains to be tested in heavy rain, but with it's great insulation and many pockets, it's the perfect jacket for winter hikes and escapades.

Extremely warm, comfortable while allowing great movement
The jacket allows great range of movement. It's truly high-tech in construction in that it affords great warmth without having to rely on excessive amounts of insulating materials. As such, it avoids the confining weightiness of jackets that do. Construction is excellent. The zippers feel very reliable and smooth in operation. The zipper on the outer shell is rubberized, affording an impressive seal against moisture. The hood is of similar construction and warmth, and has a visor like front. The hood is roomy, fitting comfortably over a heavy wool hat (a real hat, not a thin baseball-style or knit cap). The warm inner liner and separate warm, weather-proof outer shell together allow real layering options. On some jackets, the inner liner is often so lightweight as to be good only as a summer jacket. This jacket's inner liner is more substantial, allowing use in a practical range of temperatures. This may be the highest quality jacket I've owned in a very long time. Nice to know such things still exist!

I like it a alot ...
Great shell and liner, this fits slim closer than any other Columbia outerwear I have tried on in the store. I have the medium and am about 5 9 and 170 pounds and its snug with a base, tshirt, and thick wool sweater but I don't mind and it fits great for everyday when not wearing layers..I haven't been out in super extreme conditions yet but I don't think you'll need a neck gator since with the liner and shell zipped up it comes up to your chin add the hood to that and your face is nearly all the way protected.
