A parka that makes winter look sharp

What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Is this parka warm enough for winter?

For mild winters and layering, yes. In sustained freezing temperatures the insulation is thin, so plan on a sweater underneath or a heavier coat.

How does the sizing run?

Small. Many owners suggest going one size up, and two if you want room for thick layers.

Is it waterproof?

No. The polyester shell sheds light rain and blocks wind, but it is not a waterproof membrane and will wet through in heavy or prolonged rain.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, an attached hood with a drawstring, plus a high collar that covers the neck.

What should I compare it against?

Against technical parkas it trades waterproofing and warmth for a dressier long silhouette. Against fashion overcoats it adds a hood and a sealed front.

Can I wear it over a suit or blazer?

Yes, if you size up. The longline cut layers over a jacket, though the slim fit leaves little room at the shoulders.
