After having bought many cold weather jackets over the years, I can easily say that this jacket is clearly the best quality and fit, Obviously a lot of design has gone into it and much feedback from people in the field has been taken in I suspect. Ultimately the top quality product.

Yes its expensive, but what cost do you place on comfort in the extreme cold. This jacket kept me warm in -47 celsius with just one layer underneath. A small nagging detail is that the zips were very hard to do up by yourself, each time I needed my wife to do my zip up and in some cases I simply used the velcro strip to hold it together. You really need extreme cold to benefit from this jacket as you become very warm in temps above -20c. Layers are a must. Arguably one of the best extreme cold jackets you can buy.

I originally bought this jacket for when I travel to cold countries. The coldest I have used it in has been -22.
You can really notice how this jacket keeps you nice and warm out of the elements.
I’d say it works best from about -10, as you do get hot
But you just adjust layers accordingly
Honestly a great Investmet I’m very glad I purchased this jacket . It’s been to several very cold countries in the past 12-14 months

I bought my ECW Antarctica Jacket two years ago for photography in the Swiss Alps and for travel in winter in northern Norway. It’s just brilliant – in fact, the only (very minor) criticism I could think of is that the jacket became a little too warm while dog-sledding, but it was easy to adjust the draw cords and zip to balance the temperature. In Arctic conditions the jacket is warm enough for just a couple of base layers. The cut is perfect for active use and the multiplicity of pockets makes it easy to store – and retrieve! – gloves, lenses and other bulky items. Fantastic quality that’s more than worth the cost
