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.

I don't have any direct experience with stuff designed for weather that cold, but I have been looking to get some proper winter gear for myself for future use. For military style (not necessarily surplus, but looks to be very 'made for militaryish situations) I've found two brands.

There's Military.eu which has a huge array of clothing, and lists the brand/company of each piece on the item page so you can specifically get EU owned products. Military.EU is also itself HQ'd in Poland.

Another one I came across is the finnish site Varusteleka. Smaller site, only seems to sell its own branded stuff, but being from Finland they probably know what they're on about with regards to handling the cold.

varusteleka also sells army surplus when they can get their hands on it.
