I live in Manitoba where we regularly see -30°C to -40°C with wind chill, so I know a thing or two about what works in extreme cold. 10 years ago I purchased the Beta SV shell and Atom AR as I was looking for the best jacket for activities like commuting by bicycle, skiing, playing outside with my kids and everything in between.
