Swedish M90 Cold Weather Parka

The Swedish M90 cold weather parka-
How warm are they compared to perhaps a snugpak sleeka or another Primaloft coat.

I have the M90 but no experience with those other you mention so I can´t compare. M90 is warm and toasty. Of course is also depends on how much layers you have under.

I have the M90, an old army 'softie' and a rab generator primaloft.

My subjective view is the 'softie' is the warmest but if weight is an issue a modern primaloft or g-loft jacket is the better option.

The only advantage of the M90 I have found is it gives more coverage as it is much longer in cut and perhaps a little more robust in construction.

The M90 is robust, long (down to the knees), with the breast strap it can be worn as a cape. And if you get the version with padded hood (I have) it insulates the head from heatloss.

I had one, its okay, not amazing, but they come up huge so you can layer up underneath.
The hood is GINORMOUS as its designed to go over a helmet.
