Quartz Nature is proud to help some McGill's scientist in their field work.

We are supplying them the Vostok , the expedition parka that allow them to work many hours in the most severe cold. Here are their feedbacks:

"My team used the jackets in late March at Eureka, Ellesmere Island under very cold conditions (~ -30C or colder with wind chill); about the only thing that kept warm while conducting field research were parts of the body directly protected by the jackets while our legs, feet, and hands eventually succumbed to the cold! So we were very happy and even grateful for the jackets under severe Arctic winter conditions!

We also used the jackets during our early May expedition to Axel Heiberg Island at the McGill High Arctic Research Station under late Arctic Winter conditions (temperatures ranged from -5C to -20C). Again the jackets were super, we were never cold while out in the field for 4-8 hours at at time and we did not "overheat" when the temperature increased to the -5C range."

"I have to congratulate Quartz-Nature for the thermal efficiency of your jacket, which kept me warm and comfortable belong the entire duration of my research , including blizzard time. I was totally at ease, even while moving just a little, whit temperature going down to -35C/-31F, without the wind-chill factor. Also, my jacket made a lot of envious belong the Inuits that I have met, they found it very nice! Moreover, I have very appreciated the real coyote fur on the hood…it definitely has nothing to see compared to synthetic fur. Thanks again !"
