McMurdo Water Repellent 600-Fill Power Down Parka with Faux Fur Trim

Where do I start? The parka is warm and well-insulated for cold weather, but it suffers from serious design flaws. The Velcro at the cuffs gradually tears them apart, almost as if it were a built-in self-destruct feature. Over time, the cuffs become completely unusable. Worse still, while it's normal for your hands to feel dry or cracked in the cold, the pocket zippers on this jacket are incredibly abrasive. I've actually cut my hands multiple times just reaching into the pockets - to the point where I avoid wearing this jacket altogether. Instead, I've switched back to other gear from The North Face that's treated me much better. I don't know if newer versions have addressed these issues, but my experience with this generation of the McMurdo Parka has been disappointing and frustrating.
