What is the purpose of the elbow drawstring?

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

Troubleshooting
Hood drawstring feels too loose or tight
Adjust the drawstring through the tunnels to achieve your desired snugness. Ensure it's evenly distributed.
Elbow drawstring is catching on things
Utilize the drawstring tunnel at the elbow to tuck away the drawstring securely, preventing it from snagging.
Snaps on the central placket are difficult to close or open
Ensure snaps are aligned correctly before applying pressure. If consistently stiff, gently work them a few times to loosen them up.
