My old Wiggy's parka has about had it, so am looking for a new one. I really liked that parka, it was the warmest I've ever had. I see the new ones are north of $400 USD so with the exchange from Canadian pesos and shipping it would be expensive to replace. Is there anything new out there that would compare that a guy could get for less money??

Marten, fully lined, inside and out.

Yeah, with the prices I've heard it may be the way to go!

I'm pretty happy with my Striker Ice bibs and parka. Never had a Wiggy's though so I don't know how it compares. I know I break a sweat just riding if it's warmer than 10 below.

I’ve got an apocalypse design parka made in Fairbanks with a wolf ruff that I caught on it. Expensive. I have trapped on a snogo at fifty below with it and it’s the warmest parka I’ve ever worn. It’s great for sitting on a lake in the wind and sub zero temps and ice fishing. Probably nothing to do with this thread, sorry I just had to brag.

The Beyond clothing K8 Allta parka is designed for serious cold, but it's expensive too, and that exchange rate makes it even more so. On a lighter note, it's cheaper than the apocalypse designs parka!

I got to wear one of those Apocalypse design parkas for a few winters when i was a race judge on the Quest. Sadly i had to give it back! I would rate the Wiggy's right up with Apocalypse in warmth though.

depending on your size there are some canadian army parkas available new surplus...http://frontierfirearms.ca/canadian-army-combat-parka/

i also have an apocalypse design very pleased with mine i volunteer for the iditarod every year and mine has exceeded in every aspect.

Cabela's used to have a down parka with wind-stopper. Never been fond of Cabela's gear quality but I have 3 of these parkas and would buy 3 more if I could find them. Very light weight and warm. Came off the line today at 40 below and nice and toasty. I usually only where it when it is colder than 25 below. Too hot to work in and not sure how tough the shell is on them. I carry it with me at all times and can throw it over everything if I get a chill. It packs down pretty small.
This pic was from quite few years ago but shows the parka

I had an Apocolypse parka made for me 30 years ago. It is still going strong.

At the time, the final selling point for me was that I had it made with 38" long sleeves! As a tall/fat guy, finding sleeves that are long enough on most commercially available parkas is nearly impossible.

My parka has a ton of trapline miles. It has also hunted a few times on Nunivak Island and on the North Slope. Hint: It has bits of musk ox blood on it as well. Most lately, it went to Mekoryuk on Nunivak on "Son #2" for a musk ox hunt a couple of Springs ago...
