SIMPLY THE BEST
i have not tried the mountain hard wear sub zero jacket but this jacket is ridiculously comfy and warm. add a shell on top and you have the best combination for a cold, wet day. i would recommend this jacket to anyone.

Toasty
Got this jacket for a ski trip to Colorado. Could not have picked a more perfect jacket for the conditions. The Nuptse, as other reviewers have noted, is toasty warm. Like wearing a down comforter or sleeping bag. The fit is nice .... not too tight to be constricting, not too big to look like the Michelin man. Very relaxed look. This jacket is NOT waterproof, I can attest to that. But it does resist light rain and snow. While skiing I started to get hot, so I packed the Nuptse into my backpack. It compressed nicely and was very lightweight. I have yet to test the durability of the fabric as far as snags and rips, but so far so good. The stowaway hood is rather lame since the jacket isn't waterproof to begin with, but I suppose it helps with wind blocking. Overall a very satisfying purchase.
