Winter Coat recommendations?
so I tore a hole in that exact columbia in a week I have a north face mcmurdo. it’s just a hair over that price, but 6 years and still water proof. nothing crazy, but the zippers are two sizes?(I don’t know the terms, i’m not a clothing guy, but the zipper is much thicker and aligns better) same situation-I have a long walk into work and if it’s below 32 or at all windy- I wear it

Best winter parka money can buy?
What’s your leg/head situation? I find if I don’t have a warm hat and long johns then it doesn’t matter how warm my coat is, I get cold. I’ve got TNF McMurdo parka and it is the warmest coat I’ve ever owned. Only thing it is missing is a waist cinch but I’m planning on DIYing it or having a tailor add one.

Alternatives to Filson
How do you wear your coats and what is the intent of this for? There are parkas designed for the 20-40 F range, the 0-20 range the -20-0 range and the -20 and below. There are parkas designed for athletics and movement, for general wear, for heavy work, and others. Outer shells can be thin nylon to heavy duty canvas. So in that same price range the best all around parka will be your north face McMurdo. But for just about any other jacket there are better options.

What is the warmest down coat for under $500?
As a jacket hound, owner of way too many jackets, there are 2 ways to go about this. A very heavy duty super warm jacket like you are referring to (like the north face McMurdo parka, Duluth trading Ruffer Puffer, and of course others in higher price ranges). These are very good options for very cold days - if you live in the north, they are smart to own (even to keep in your car for those bad situations of getting stranded). The warmest single layer jackets are heavy compared to high performance gear which is geared towards higher activity and need for flexibility (skiing, snowboarding, climbing, cross country skiing). Whereas the super heavy/warm single jackets are great for a football game in December in Greenbay or Chicago, standing on the ice ice fishing for hours, being at an outdoor Christmas market for hours in the cold and windy, of if you walk a mile or more to work in a cold windy city like Chicago on a frigid day). The weakness of the single layer extra warm jacket is that on many days it is too warm for the jacket. Like running errands when you are in a heated car or indoors for much of the time. That said, I have 4 ultra warm jackets - 2 Canada Goose Parkas, 1 - 800 fill Mountain Hardwear jacket 20 years old and should be replaced), 1 - Arc'teryx Rush down jacket (wearing today in the teens). I spend a LOT of time outdoors, even when it's very cold (-20 to 10 degrees out). In these Temps, these parkas cannot be replaced by layering for a combined total cost of $1,000. That said, for more active cold weather activities, the layering approach is the way to go. Then I like the following - mountain hardware Monkey Man fleece (get the square inner pattern fleece vs. a solid/smoother inner layer fleece), Patagonia for a mid weight down layer OR Arc'teryx for a synthetic down layer, and then a hard shell layer that has some sort of soft inner layer for added warmth vs. just a straight hard shell (that is really just a more rugged rain jacket). Then you also can look at soft shells vs. the hard shell as the outer layer on nice non precipitation days (even though manybsoftshells have a DWR sprayed on finish, they are not generally waterproof.

Warmest, most durable parka?
I bought a mcmurdo parka from the north face. So far so good. Also, here in Italy, it's almost always too warm to wear it. I really use it 3 months a year when I'm out at night or early in the morning. In Italy some other brands of bifl quality parka are moncler, add, colmar. I'd love to try a canada goose (or moncler) but they're out of my league since I'm on a low/mid 3 digits budget and those parka are usually 4 digits XD

Warmest, most durable parka?
I’d say the North Face Mcmurdo. I went to antarctica and used the mcmurdo down there for a month and it was amazing. Definitely warmest jacket i’ve used.
