Fjällräven Nuuk Parka vs Rab Glaceon Pro Down Jacket

Buy the Fjällräven Nuuk Parka for wet, cold city winters and long standing-around days; it is a thigh-length, fully waterproof synthetic parka with a storm hood and 11 pockets. Buy the Rab Glaceon Pro for active mountain use where packability and warmth-to-weight matter more than rainproofing. The Nuuk is heavier and bulkier but shrugs off slush and rain; the Rab is lighter, packs small, and uses 700-fill hydrophobic down under a wind-resistant Pertex Quantum Pro shell that sheds spindrift but is not a rain shell.

• Choose the Nuuk Parka if you want a long, waterproof, synthetic winter coat for wet cold and everyday town wear.
• Choose the Rab Glaceon Pro if you need a light, packable down layer for hiking, belays and cold mountain days.
