600 Fill Down
Certified 600 Fill Goose Down bags are constructed with the following features:
- Nautilus Hood: the same construction as our 8000m jacket hood, a 3D hood that
wraps around your head and reduces heat loss. - Hood Muff: creates a warm down gasket around your face, keeping the drawcord
away from the face. - Stretch Tricot Baffles: allow the bag to be stuffed and unstuffed without tearing the baffle material.
- Trapezoid Foot box: matches the shape of your feet, wider in the toe area and narrower in the heels.
- Down Fill Oversized Draft Tube: eliminates cold spots
- Zipper guard: keeps the draft tube fabric from getting caught in the zipper
- Ground Level Seams: top layer wraps fully around the body creating a warm layer of down.

Purchased this jacket on sale at REI recently. Looks good on all the essentials for my winter hiking/camping/backpacking. Very tough, warm, waterproof, comfortable, enough pockets, well sized, Price very competitive for this quality. In black, it will also be fine to wear to work over a sport jacket on very cold days. Haven’t actually tried it out yet backpacking – that will be next winter. But experience backpacking during the recent February blizzard showed me that I needed to replace my old winter jacket with something like this.

Re my prior post, I should say that the one thing I really miss, and that my old jacket had, was chest cargo pockets (with velcro, not zippers). Almost no jackets have them now, and in winter you will need easy access to some items while wearing the pack. Nothing else works as well, and I abhor too much hanging on the pack or from straps, and it’s not convenient anyhow.

I purchased a Whitehorse this past January after deciding that I preferred to buy a down parka that didn't have the "Michelin man" look and an obnoxious "me too" logo. I wanted something really warm with a removable hood that allowed decent peripheral vision, and that also had an adjustable waist and hem. This parka filled the bill.
I'm a bit over 6', weigh 175 lbs., and have a 35" sleeve length. The Whitehorse fits like it was tailored for me. I still have room to wear a wool sweater or fleece vest underneath and the Angel-wing arm design works great -- you can lift your arms over your head without the parka riding up.
As the other reviewer states, this parka has a very durable outer fabric. It shouldn't be prone to tearing or puncturing easily. It does seem to hold wrinkles with a vengeance though. That doesn't bother me (I think the coat looks great), but I mention it because it might bother some people.
I do have a couple of small nitpicks though. The handwarmer pockets are not surrounded by down on both sides. There is down on the side your palms face when your hand is in the pocket, but that's it. On the upside, the pockets are lined with fleece.
Also, the powder skirt extends well below my waist and is a bit loose even when snapped shut. While that's great for someone with a big rear end who's wearing bulky pants, it was a less than perfect fit for me. If the loose fit bothers me enough down the road, it's easy enough for someone to take it in a bit with needle and thread.
Minor nitpicks aside, I'm very happy with the Whitehorse parka and consider it to have been a great purchase. l have Marmot down products from the early 1980s that are still going strong, so I have no doubt that given proper care, this parka should last a very long time.
