Hey guys,
Since, cold weather is just around the corner here in the Northeast (i'm located near CFB Gagetown) I was looking for a quality cold weather parka. I'm not in the army, but I'm seriously considering it (i'm a recent universit grad). Anyways, I was wondering if you guys with experience could tell me how well the Canadian Arctic Parkas work in really cold weather (i.e. below minus 30). I have the Cdn. army fleece and the gortex IECS cobat jacket, but I dont have the parka. If anyone can tell me about the Arctic Parka or IECS/ICE parka I would really appreciate it. I was thinking of picking up this one, but I don't know if this one has the Goretex (http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/spplsgt/Can_Winter.htm)
Also, Is the American N-3B parka (or any other winter parka) they use any good in comparison?
