Which is warmer in deep cold?

The Mackage is the safer bet for deep cold. It uses 800 fill power down and is lab tested to -20°C, while Columbia gives no temperature rating for the Suttle Mountain Long.

The Columbia is longer: 36 inches at center back versus 27 inches for the Mackage. That extra length covers the thighs, which helps on cold days.

Is the Mackage worth the extra money?

If you want maximum warmth, a sheepskin collar and a dressier fitted look, yes. If you want a long hooded parka you can machine wash, the Columbia covers more of your body for far less.

Which has the better hood?

The Columbia. Its storm hood is attached, adjustable and sherpa lined, with removable faux fur. The Mackage hood is adjusted by a hidden toggle and is not described as attached.

Can I machine wash either coat?

The Columbia is machine washable: cold gentle cycle, then tumble dry low with tennis balls. Mackage does not state machine washing for the ADALI-SH, and down with a sheepskin collar needs careful cleaning.

Which fits over a sweater?

The Columbia's active fit and two-way zipper give more layering room. The Mackage is fitted, so size up if you plan to wear thick sweaters.

Buy the Columbia Suttle Mountain Long if you want a longer, hooded, machine-washable parka for everyday winter at a fraction of the price. No prices were given for either coat, so compare them at your stores before deciding.
