did BD discontinue the parka? i see they still have the cold forge hooded jacket, but not the parka on their website.

Don't know about the parka production, but if you get the regular cold forge it only has a one way zipper and the cut is already snug at the hips without gear. Had to hike the whole coat up above my harness to clear screws, no warmth for the glutes.

yeah, that's one of the reasons i would rather have the parka. parka also has the exterior chest pocket, which is nice for the sunglasses. also seems like it has beefier baffles.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
