Is the TNF Range Down Parka warm enough for below-freezing weather?

It is built for cold, wet winters, with 600-fill down in the lower body and synthetic Heatseeker Eco in the upper body, hood and sleeves. In deep dry cold it is less warm than a high-fill pure down parka, so add a midlayer.

Is it actually waterproof?

Yes. The DryVent 2L shell is waterproof, breathable and seam-sealed, with a non-PFC DWR finish, and the front and hand pocket zips are AquaGuard. It handles rain and wet snow better than a standard down puffer.

It has a relaxed fit, cut roomy enough to layer a sweater underneath. Owners who want a trim silhouette often size down.

How does it compare with The North Face McMurdo Parka?

The McMurdo is a heavier, longer urban parka with more insulation and a faux-fur-trimmed hood. The TNF Range is lighter and more outdoor-oriented, with a hybrid down and synthetic fill and a streamlined hood.

What is the fill, and is it real down?

The lower body uses 600-fill recycled waterfowl down. The upper baffles, hood and sleeves use Heatseeker Eco synthetic insulation made with hollow-core fibers.

Does it have a removable hood?

No. The hood is attached and adjustable with a drawcord.
