I recently purchased a closeout MB U.L. Down Parka and am not a fan of how loose the cuffs at the wrist fit (the MB Alpine Light I have has a nice snug fit at the cuffs do to its elastic). The new Superior Down Parka, the U.L. Down Parka’s replacement appears, at least in the pictures, to have the same cuff as the Alpine Light……Anyone have the Superior that can comment on the cuffs?

Thanks

I cannot comment on the Superior but I had my wife sew with the sewing machine a wedge shaped seam on the inside of the cuff of my MB U.L. Down Parka so that the cuffs weren’t so loose.  It worked great and a friend of mine with the same jacket had my wife do the same for his.

I own both the UL Down Parka and Alpine Light (love them both) and never really noticed the UL’s cuffs being loose.  I do however think the Alpine Light’s are slightly tighter :)  Guess I just have big wrists.
