Sooo currently I use a Parka I got from Mark Workwarehouse, it's a thick canvass outter with a polyester inner and down fill, it's normally really good, or suits my needs rather, I've been out in -40 without windchill with only minimal dicomfort around my goggle and fingers... so it does the job, but U think the down is settling and well is is 2 or 3 years old and it's nor really designed for snowmobiling. I stood out side waiting for a bus once for 3 hours in -35, plus whatever windchill and I was fine.. ok my legs were super numb.. but my core and head were fine.
So the question is should I get another one of the same (about $150CAD), or should I look for other stuff? I am considering a choko Adventurer, or Xtreme touring, maybe even the cfr bear. not sure about the Xtreme, but the others are in the $100-$150 range.
Somebody told me choko is one of the warmest jackets, and while calling around to another choko dealer to check their stock I was told, there are warmer.
My wife has a 2 yr old Choko Trail Bear, it's a little warmer than my Canvas thing.. or so it seems off sled anyhow.
So keeping in a lower price range ($200 CAD tops) anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
Oh and if it matters I mainly do ditch banging and trail riding. and I go out any temp down to -40.
