I’m looking for a super warm winter coat that will last me forever. Something that will keep me warm around -30 C. I’m thinking military surplus, because it should theoretically be more durable (right?).

Price isn’t a huge issue if the quality is worth it.

      I have that exact coat and can tell you that it really isn’t particularly warm. Even with three layers below it isn’t good below about -5c and is particularly bad in the wind.

        I have a similar one with an extra button high up, so you can flip the folds over and get an extra layer and much closer to your neck. Otherwise use a scarf, because it is actually quite good (also against the wind, I live in Scandinavia) but closed as in the pictures with nothing covering your neck and stopping the air from getting inside you’ll get cold in no time. But yeah I also would say that below -5 you need something more padded, but these are nice exactly because they’re not that bulky. No way you can survive -20 in this
