Best Mens Winter Coats For Extreme Cold

I ’ ve had this jacket for over a year, and I absolutely love it. It ’s one of the warmers I ’ ve owned. It has a ton of pocket space( I literally put a puppy in it), and the hood keeps the snow and wind off your face. 10/10 recommend. The only negative is it takes a while to dry.

I needed a jacket for a December Sweden and Iceland trip and this jacket was perfect! I tried the SINGI DOWN JACKET M also but thought that one was a little more extreme, My needs for this trip were just being out in the elements half days. The Nuuk Parka M kept me so warm! Some days I only had a tee shirt on under it. I never needed a thermal top under it. Only occasionally an additional layer. It was wind proof and very water resistant. My only two critiques are 1) The zipper. It was difficult to latch at times and 2) Too many pockets. There are 11 and at time I had trouble remembering what was where. 10/10 love this coat though. Made winter weather a breeze to deal with!

I have now been through one full year with my Nuuk parka. It is truly amazing. Extremely high quality, truly waterproof, yet not too heavy. Extremely warm. I sometimes forego gloves and just use the parka's lined hand pockets. The hood is very adjustable with the wire frame. Very well- designed pockets, and lots of them external and internal. I sometimes forget which pocket I used for something. So, the zipper. I have gotten used to it but getting the zipper inserted and started can be a challenge, especially in low light. I do wish it was easier. Nonetheless, this parka is about as close to perfect as I have ever seen. Very highly recommended. I am considering also getting the Nuuk Lite for its similar build quality and features, to use when it is the temperatures are too high to use the Nuuk.

I 've had this for two months now and it is outstanding. To get the one awkward bit out of the way: the double zipper is weird, I 'd never used one before. It took me about a week to figure out how to use it, and a month before I could do it without looking/thinking about it. It is easy so long as you are patient and willing to learn. While I do n't see the purpose of being able to unzip from the bottom, the zipper itself is robust and I bet will last a long time. There is a long list of things to love about this jacket, so I 'll try to be brief. First, it is warm as an oven. I personally run a bit hot and love the winter, for me this jacket makes sense below freezing, anything higher and I 'll wear something simpler. It is incredibly light for a jacket this warm. The lack of bulk for something that is so well insulated is very impressive. There are so many small details the jacket gets right, too many to list, but one of them that I particularly love is the sleeve is just a bit long, enveloping your hand with ease if you want it to( I wear a L winter glove). The hood is a ridiculous powerhouse. I do n't know what the conditions would need to be for a knit hat plus that hood to be necessary. Putting that hood on a bare head is like going into a warm cocoon. In the city with the wind tunnels on a day in the teens, everything above my mid- thigh was pure warmth.

I purchased this jacket 2 months ago at a local PA outdoors retailer for use in the northeast US. I read many reviews and had settled between the Nuuk and the NF McMurdo. I actually purchased the McMurdo first after reading about the Nuuk zipper and trying it at the store. But after having the McMurdo it just really wasn ’ t my style and I was left coveting the Nuuk. I went back to the the retailer and actually tried on the Nuuk again, the zipper that everyone seems to talk about gave me trouble, probably took 2 minutes to hookup and I thought “ this would be a pain everyday ”. Then I tried again, took 30 seconds to hookup and I thought there must be a trick to this…… pinched both zipper pulls with my left hand while keeping them at the bottom, dropped the zipper in and magic! Tried again, and again, and zipper problem no more! I think people leaving reviews about the zipper must be reviewing on day one, because it is truly honesty a non issue. Yes it is different than US jackets, but that ’s it, it ’s just different. Enough on the zipper( Zipper is fine, works as it should). Now finally had some real winter weather to test this Nuuk jacket, some temps in the low 20s with wind chills in the teens with gusty cold winds, snow, and freezing rain……. This jacket is everything advertised! This jacket blocks the cold and wind period, simple base layers( T- shirt and sweater), and I am warm and comfortable. I ’ m absolutely certain proper layering in even colder temps will prove even better protection( which I will test soon in Barrow Alaska) and update. This jacket has pockets galore to store/ carry everything, gloves, phone, wallet, extras will fit. The lower hand warmer pockets are a little weird to get your hands in, think a little different cut would make this perfect but they are fleece lined and do the job. I also wish it had the recessed rib knit cuffs instead of the Velcro closures at the wrist, but again they do the job especially when wearing gloves. The hood is large, fleece lined and the faux fur blocks wind, the drawcord and wire in the hood let you make adjustments as needed to keep the elements out. I may in the future replace the Faux fur for real fur, we will see. For the fit, I am 6ft 205lbs with 34 inch waist, went with a large and it fits perfect with room for needed layers when appropriate. Overall extremely happy with my purchase, I am generally a value shopper and normally would not consider a jacket at this price point( I did full disclosure purchase on sale), and it has so far been worth every penny.
