I was in need of a new parka for very cold weather use as the previous one I used and loved for years was finally starting to fall apart. After quite a bit of research and consideration, I landed on the McMurdo as the one that fit my needs and wants and I was able to get a relatively good price. So far I have not been disappointed. It fits really well and feels accurate to size, with enough flexibility and space to add layers if needed. It also has a lot of pockets and storage. One of the features that I didn't know initially until I received it was the plush lined side pockets in addition to the zipper pockets visible on the front. Overall it is easily worth the price and I would consider it among the top three parkas in it's price range that would have to recommend.

I am 6'2" and the medium size fits perfectly; the large size was too large. The parka is warm, easy to zip to the top of the chest and then the two flaps chat cover the neck and chin. The hood closes snugly around the face. The fur snaps on and off easily. Having both two pockets for hands and two large pockets with velcro for larger items is ideal. Excellent coat for the money.
