How's that "the best" coat for winter /out/ings? It's too warm to move in and far too heavy and bulky to have with you for pause- or camp use. Sure it's warm but the activities and situations it's actually practical are explicit and limited at best.

the best cold temperature coat is layering clothing instead of putting on one bulky parka also fur on the hood looks gay

The fur in the hood is comfy af desu. It should be in the coat you wear while active, though.

Down jackets are the ultimate cold protection. I have one and I remember sweating in her after a long time in 2°C, even though my fingers were about to freeze. I've never felt like she's not warm enough, even when I've experienced -19°C for a few minutes.

Best is pretty subjective. Do you live someplace that considers 2C cold, or does it need to get down past -10C to get out anything thicker than a fleece? Where I live we always get below -17C for at least a week.

Something like the 650 from REI is down, and usually less than $100, and lasts years. For me that's the sweet spot, but I'm not going winter camping, which might change that equation.

if you have to work outside in very cold weather something like this is very practical
the idea with parkas is that you don't have to put five layers on every time you need to adjust your clothing

>ride snowmachine at -40 degrees
>take off parka and mask
>buck up firewood and load it in sled
>put parka on and ride home

>snowshoe out to ice fishing spot
>put parka on while sitting to fish
>take it off and put it in sled to snowshoe back

I live in a very cold climate and love being able to just throw on a parka and be warmer without hassle. It's especially useful for riding open air vehicles.

This is correct. Simple layering hasn't ever been defeated. And yeah, the fur on the hood is for women.

I should add that parka's like OP's are the best if your being relatively immobile, like in your scenarios.

Love my Fjallraven jacket. Keeps me plenty warm with basic layering down to single digit temps. Material is durable, plus it seems fairly lightweight for what it is. Comfy as hell too.

Yes, snowmobiling and ice fishing are among those few activities it's practical. And even then the overall would be much better.

Yes. But you need a trail and terrain that can manage it.

I got one of these Suokeni coats (in black as a winter work coat) off Amazon a couple of years back and have been very happy with it and bought another in grey as my non-work winter coat.

Original N2Bs are actually really comfy and fairly breathable. Would never hike in the woods with one but I have hiked 10+ miles in a day in one in sub-zero temps when I went to Neuschwanstein in Germany.

Layers yes, but not that. Unless you intend to stay absolutely still, or the temps are like max -10C.
My solution:
>baselayer, merino or synthtetic according to your preference
>1st optional layer: thin fleece/wool shirt, not too heavy, this stays on when active in the moderately cold
>2nd optional layer: "active insulation" jacket or vest i.e. 70g/sqm climashield jacket, this one stays on in the extreme cold, like sub -20c
>softshell jacket: keeps the wind out. Keeping the wind out is more important than keeping the water out: there is no liquid water when the temps are adequately below freezing. Also breathes well enough for the base and midlayers can push your body moisture into the atmosphere keping you dry
>3rd optional layer: a waterproof shell. Keeps 100% of the wind out, acts as a vapor barrier (no membrane actually breathes), keeps you dry if the weather turns to rain. Can also be worn without softhsell, for example to dig a snow cave keeping your clothes from getting soaked from the melting snow.
>a parka, a belay jacket, or the like, for when you're staying still, setting up the camp, cooking etc
Wear wool socks, preferably double up. Use body heat to dry socks possible.
Have work gloves and warm gloves. Never get your warm gloves wet.

For your legs:
base layer
optionally wool/fleece mid layer pants (for activity in the extreme cold, like sub -20c, or for camp when it's like -10c and you don't take the insulated pants.)
softshell or windproof pants
insulated pants for camp
