Just returned the XV I got for my wife as she found the arms very short.
I have not used the Parka on a trip yet but hope to do so in the next two weeks.
My big issue will be trying to decide when to pack the XV instead of my Montbell Permafrost, I am thinking if the forecast is for below 5-0f I will pack the XV, it often s gets down to well below 0 on a lot of my trips so it will see much use.
