I'm looking for a super warm winter coat that will last me forever. Something that will keep me warm around -30 C. I'm thinking military surplus, because it should theoretically be more durable (right?).

Price isn't a huge issue if the quality is worth it.

At that temperature, you want to be layering properly if you're going to be outside for a long period. If you're just going out briefly, any field jacket or parka with a padded liner will probably do well enough.

Yeah. I'm stubborn and specifically looking for something I don't need to layer with. Problem is anywhere I go is hot indoors, so I have to completely unlayer. I kind of wanted something that is a single piece

Hm, I'd suggest a heavy winter jacket with some sort of soft lining because it acts as an insulation layer and outer layer. Army jackets are good but they're generally also meant to be layered. High quality commercial stuff will probably be better overall.

Thatโ€™s a cool idea, but I think a single coat just doesnโ€™t work at those temps. Layering isnโ€™t just for variety of temps you can adjust for, the layers themselves and the air they trap at each layer are part of the solution.
