I use the 5.11 3in1 Parka.
It's a really comfy an warm jacket (too warm with the inner fleece jacket in my opinion).
Rainproof, breathable and not too hevy! Also loads of pockets for your stuff!
And you can also zip-in the 5.11 Chameleon Softshell Jacket in place of the fleece jacket. Fit's perfect!

I like the TT Arizona very much !

Don't know if you can actually read this review, but if you can, you will see that it confirms the fact that the TT Arizona turns out to be a little oversized.

Hi fallen, welcome. I see, posting does work now.

To answer your question. I do have the Carinthia HIG 2.0 (not MIG) and I am satisfied with it. The HIG is warmer than the MIG and you can store the hood in the collar. I do also have aThe North Face All Terrain Triclimate Jacket, it is also very good quality.

Here a short review about the Carinthia HIG 2.0

And that ist the Gore Tex The North Face All Terrain Triclimate Jacket

I do wear a shirt, when I wear the HIG.

When you compare Carinthia to your North Face jacket,what would be advantages/disadvantages?

That is not easy to decide. The Nortface jacket is of good quality, but not of that good quality that my old Vaude Jacket was.
But to give an answer, the Carinthia keeps very warm, even when it has -10° Celsius, the carinthia is extremly light weight und very comfortable to wear. I do have the carinthia since last jannuary and it gives the sence of top quality. It is not 100% water resistant, but till now that was not a disadvantage, because at that cold temperature I have worn it, it did not rain ever.

The Carinthia has that "tactical apperance" I like.

I'm a satisfied owner of a MIG 2.0 Jacket since last winter, for me it always was warm enough with only a t-shirt as baselayer, no extra underwear needed.
Never had any kind of water intrusion even when I wore it for hours during snowfalls or rain.

I'm 183cm/84kg an the "L" works fine for me, not too tight and not too loose, the MIG 2.0 has a lot of usefull pockets and I like the tactical look.
If you can understand some german, please refer to these threads: Was habt ihr heute bekommen, was morgen? Nr. 6 and Carinthia MIG Jacket
And here something from the manufacturer: http://www.military-sleeping-bags.com/migjacket.html

The MIG was warm enough for me in the austrian alps, so I guess it will bei warm enoug for croatia
On the other side, the HIG is designed to keep you warm for hours and hours despite extremely cold temperatures, but when was the last time you were out there for hours at temperatures of -20°C or so...?

I love my MIG 2.0, it's not too baggy, fits perfectly and kept my warm the whole last winter and I never wore more undergear than a T-Shirt.

The HIG is warmer, than the MIG. You have to know, what you need.

The HIG has the possibility be stowe the hood in the collar, the hood of the MIG is fixed externally.
The side pokets of the MIG are mounted in a high position so that you can use the pokets when you wear a harness like military does. The sidepokets of the HIG are positioned lower, so that I can warm my hands inside these pokets.
Sorry for my weak English, but I hope you can understand, what I want to explain.

im looking for a good jacket too... the MIG is interesting but the pockets seems a little bit... strage.. any option with a better pocket organisation?
