Is it warm enough for very cold winters?

It is a long down parka, so it is built for frigid temperatures and full-body coverage. Layer underneath for extreme cold.

How does it compare with a shorter down jacket?

It covers more of the body, so it blocks more wind and traps more warmth around the thighs. The trade-off is weight and less freedom of movement.

They let you cinch the parka closer to the body or loosen it for layering. That changes the look from bulky to more fitted.

It is a down parka, not a rain shell. It handles cold and light snow, but heavy rain will soak the down and cut its warmth.

Wash it sparingly with a down-specific detergent and tumble dry low with dryer balls to restore loft. Avoid fabric softener.

The parka itself. Check the listing for any included stuff sack or care items.
