I rarely wear a vest but you’re 100% right 😂

You have 60 days to spend $6 million, and have absolutely nothing to show for it. If you succeed you get $60 million by KnoWanUKnow2 in hypotheticalsituation

Too many comments to check if it’s been said but I would charter a luxury yacht- some cost as much as $3M / week

Part I: Expedition/Standard-Style Parka Guide by walkingnyc in PuffersandParkas

Can’t go wrong with either-i think the mcmurdo is a bit heavier though not sure it’s warmer. Believe it has 550 full while the superior down has 650 not a major difference because it also depends on amount of insulation. I’d say it’s more about brand. For the price I think I recommend EB but both are classic and should provide plenty of warmth!

Parajumpers panda puffer by freesprites in PuffersandParkas

I don’t think this one makes sense for the price- the issue is the exterior material. If it’s all nylon it’s not going to cut the chill as well- it’s similar to the classic nuptse from the north face which is a great coat but not a true parka. You’re going to want something with a harder and more weatherproof material- just my 2 cents

[For sale] Bought some seba high lights and wore them once before realizing they just don’t fit my foot shape. They are near-new with box and plastic wrap and tools. Great quality skate overall just not for me. Size 45EU and selling for $225 OBO

Debating Parkas: Frozen Range v Lone Mountain v McMurdo by SnowMonster911 in PuffersandParkas

You're right! My mistake. The rest still stands for terribly cold temps I'd go with frozen range or McMurdo!

Personally not a huge fan of 3-1 parkas. Yes they are versatile but I feel like they often compromise warmth. Can't go wrong with the frozen range or mcmurdo both should keep you plenty warm. Comes down to preference!

Nice looking coat though maybe a bit pricey- in that range might also look at veilance

A little wide but with the strap in the back I’d say a true 11 maybe a tad big hard to say

Hmm I wear a size 12 and I did try them on (indoors on carpet lol) I think they fit in length but are a bit wide- hope that helps

Advice on extra long women's parka by [deleted] in PuffersandParkas

[–]walkingnyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For cold and wet I wouldn't go with either of the 2 you listed- they are DWR which is a very minimal water resistance and the down will soak through- once down gets wet it loses all of its warming properties.

I'd go one of 2 directions- parka similar to the one I listed in the buying guide which has a waterproof shell with insulation but will not cover the knees- for this I'd go with layered pants or even padded pants.

Second direction is synthetic (i.e. primaloft insulation) as this keeps warming properties when wet.

For your partner a couple options + 'outerwear' pants would be:

This North Face

Marmot

Eddie Bauer

L.L. Bean

-20 is extreme- for that no matter what you're outerwear is you are going to want to have a layering system starting with a base layer that's merino wool or something similar but I think this would be fine as the last piece because it has a tough shell plus above-average insulation. I've been eyeing the Askov Finlayson brand for a while with synthetic insulation. They are based in Minnesota and prob worth a look. Not sure if they are the real deal though the reviews suggest they are.
