The North Face McMurdo Parka vs Fjällräven Expedition Pack Down Hoodie

These are different tools. The McMurdo is a heavy, waterproof down parka built for cold, wet city winters and standing around outdoors. The Expedition Pack Down Hoodie is a lightweight, packable midlayer for active winter use, worn alone in mild cold or under a shell. Buy the McMurdo for deep cold and rain; buy the Fjällräven for layering, travel and movement.

• Choose the North Face McMurdo if you face freezing, wet winters and want one coat that covers the commute, the dog walk and the school run without layering.
• Choose the Fjällräven Expedition Pack Down Hoodie if you run, hike or travel in winter and want a warm layer that packs into its own pocket and works under a shell.
