Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
Last updated January 1st, 2020
Opting-in to Moosejaw Rewards:
All users must accept these terms and conditions and create an account with Moosejaw to opt-in to the program and earn, accrue, retain and redeem Moosejaw Reward Dollars (MJ$). The program is FREE to join and membership is ongoing until or unless the user requests to be removed or is removed due to abuse of the program. Users can opt-in to the program while checking out on Moosejaw.com or at one of our stores or at any time within 30 days of purchase to accrue the MJ$ earned on that purchase. Once opted-in to the program, MJ$ will earn and accrue for redemption as described below until the MJ$ expire or the user leaves the program.
All information collected and used to facilitate the Moosejaw Rewards program is directly related to the program's ability to provide value to the customer. A customer opting-in to the Moosejaw Rewards program is a separate action from establishing a user profile as a result of making a purchase.
The program opt-in requirement was added on August 6th, 2019. Existing program members prior to that date must still formally opt-in and accept the terms and conditions to continue to retain, earn and redeem MJ$. Pre-existing program members that fail to opt-in prior to June 28, 2020 will be removed from the program, and any unused MJ$ will be voided. We really, really don't want to that to happen, so please opt-in or we'll feel terrible.
Leaving Moosejaw Rewards Program:
You may choose to leave the Moosejaw Rewards program at any time by logging in and clicking on the “Opt out Rewards Program” link within the My Account Summary page, Email, calling 877-MOOSEJAW (877-666-7352) or in-store with help from our employees. If you leave the rewards program, any unused MJ$ will be voided upon completion of your request.
Earning MJ$:
All items we sell are eligible with the exception of gift cards or other items specifically noted. Full-priced items earn 10% back while discounted items earn 2.5%. "Discounted items" includes items on sale or discounted via coupon code or use of MJ$. You do not earn MJ$ for shipping or tax charges, only from the item value. MJ$ expire two years after earning and are redeemed on a first-in, first out basis (in other words, we always use your oldest MJ$ that are closest to expiration).
Checking & Redeeming MJ$:
On Moosejaw.com, just sign-in on any page to see your available balance. Once signed in, you will see your available MJ$ and maximum that can be redeemed in the payment section of the checkout process. In stores, provide the email address attached to your account to learn your balance and apply to your purchase. We will also send you a monthly email that details your balance and other account activity. This is a transactional email that you will receive even if you are not subscribed to our marketing emails.
Bonus Rewards Promotions:
Every so often, we'll have special offers where you can earn bonus MJ$, like an additional 10%, 20% or 40% back. So if we are running a 50% back special offer, and you buy a regular-priced item for $100.00, you will receive MJ$10.00 in base points, and a bonus of MJ$40. These special offers may have a cap on how many bonus MJ$ you earn during the promotion, but you will always earn the base Reward Dollars. Make sure to check us out on our social channels for other ways to win some extra MJ$!
MJ$ on Gift Cards:
You don't get earn MJ$ when you buy a gift card, but you do get MJ$ when you spend a gift card. Sorry gift givers. You're welcome gift receivers.
Product Returns and MJ$:
If you return an item, we deduct the MJ$ earned on that item from your balance. If you used the MJ$ and your balance is less than deduction, then your refund is reduced by the difference.
Program Abuse:
The intent of the program is to provide our loyal customers with a way to buy great gear for less. Moosejaw reserves the right to remove any user from the program and zero out their MJ$ balance if Moosejaw determines that the user is abusing the program by buying for resale, attempting to game the program or any other reason at Moosejaw's sole discretion.
Are you Sure?
Our Rewards Program is completely FREE and easy to use.
By opting out, you forfeit all the Moosejaw Rewards Dollars your currently have in your account, which is basically throwing away free money. What would your grandmother say about that? If you're 100% sure, please click "OptOut" below.
Earn 10% back on all full-priced purchases on Moosejaw.com or at our shops (2.5% for discounted items).
The program is FREE. Just register and join during the checkout process. So Easy.
After joining the program, you'll receive your MJ$ as soon as your order ships. Then the next time you shop at Moosejaw, you can redeem those MJ$ to get awesome gear for way less.

Special order items take longer to ship
We want to make extra-sure you realize that you've added a special order item to your cart. These items take a little longer to get to you because we have to order from the manufacturer first. The "Est. Ship Date" is the date we expect items to leave our warehouse... so add your chosen shipping speed to see when it will show up at your door.

Zipper ProblematicI bought this jacket last winter and from day one I had small issues with the zipper as the fine teeth caught sections of the coat when doing up to the point it ripped a small portion near the top. I started using it again this winter and the teeth on the zipper failed after 2 weeks of using it this year. Fine tooth zippers on this type of jacket is not a good choice. Parka is great for warmth but the zipper is poor.

Empty baffle for a winter expedition jacketI received it last week from a reputable online seller and upon inspection I discovered one of baffles is completely empty! This is a brand new jacket with tag attached! With this being a winter expedition jacket I was really surprised that this defect would happen.. especially being Mountain Hardwear. I always had great experience with this brand but this time it had really let me down. With the price it this shouldn’t happen at all. I was very disappointed

Fabulous but need woman's versionThis is a great parka, super warm, lightweight but needs to be made for women as well. The material and design are great but fit not good for female
proportions.

Excellent coat - only fire would make you warmer!I got this coat for my husband and he LOVES it!!!!
I'm wondering if a L size Absolute Zero will fit correctly for me or if I need to go with an XL size jacket.
I am a 5 foot, 10.5 inches tall, 200#
My neck size is 17.
My sleeve size 34-35.
My waist size is 38 inches.
Asked by: Blake
Hey there Blake, thanks for your question! Based on these measurements, the large size should be perfect for you. Plus, this is a regular fit jacket, so it won't be super trim fit if you are right between sizes. I hope this helps!

I am 6'2" 265 with broad shoulders 51" chest and normally wear an xxl in a parka, shouldI go with an xxl or xll in this jacket as I've heard it runs large on sizing. I want to be able to put a light layer underneath , nothing too thick , Thanks, Chris
Asked by: Chris249
Hey Chris! Thanks for the question. The Men's Absolute Zero Parka has a "Standard' fit. So its not too tight, and not too loose. It was designed to fit over base and or mid-layers. Based solely on your chest measurements, you would be an XXL. I have heard of other customers sizing down, but I worry that will be too tight in the shoulders for you. I hope this helps a little!

One review states "runs large" I'm what's know as portly so always worn extra large would that be good for me ?
Asked by: GeorgeG
Hey there, that's a good question.
The Mountain Hardwear Men's Absolute Zero Parka runs large by design. The thought process
is that you will be wearing this over lots of other layers, so they make it oversized to accommodate that. Personally I don't think it's enough of a difference to justify going down a full size. If 8/10 times you buy an XL I would stick with that.
I hope this helps!

HOW to MEASURE CHEST: For your chest circumference, measure around the largest part of the chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.
SLEEVE: Sleeve length can be found by measuring from the center back of the neck, across a shoulder, and down the back of the arm to the wrist bone with the arm comfortably bent.
* Please note that all size info provided corresponds to equivalent body measurements, not the dimensions of the garment.
MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR FIT GUIDE Mountain Hardwear clothing and outerwear is available in four fits. Each is designed to meet different needs for movement, protection and versatility depending on activity. Check the PRODUCT FEATURES and SPECIFICATIONS for the fit type of a style.
BODY FIT: Body-hugging fit for aerobic activities. Ideal for running, skate skiing and next-to-skin layering.
ACTIVE FIT: Trim fit, just loose enough for laying and freedom of movement. Ideal for backcountry skiing, climbing, mountaineering and running.
STANDARD FIT: Not too tight, not too loose. Standard fitting styles will fit over base and mid-layers without restricting movement. Ideal for backpacking, hiking, travel and work.
RELAXED FIT: A roomier and more progressive fit, relaxed styles might have a longer length than a standard fit and a softer drape. Ideal for backpacking, hiking, skiing and hanging out.
