if you are looking for a true parka this is not it.  It works well for most purpose and is not the warmest of jackets but has been able to keep me warm when I have worn it so far.  I am not a big fan internal part of the jacket as it does not seem that warm and I wish that it had a few more internal pockets.  But I like the fact that it is not too warm and that I can zip out both liner and the hood.  If you are looking for a arctic parka this is not your jacket but if you are looking for a nice jacket that will keep you warm in most conditions this works well
