Is the A.P.C. Kim Parka waterproof?

No. The shell is water repellent, so it handles drizzle and light rain, but seams and zips are not sealed for sustained downpours.

It has synthetic filling and a nylon lining, so it works as a mild-weather layer. In real cold you will want a sweater underneath.

Does the hood come off?

Yes. The hood is detachable, which lets you wear it as a cleaner collared parka in dry weather.

It is cut loose and straight. Most buyers take their usual size for an oversized look, or size down for a closer fit.

Wash at 30 degrees and do not bleach. Avoid tumble drying the synthetic filling, which can clump.

Yes. The straight, loose cut is designed to work on both men and women, though the sizing is listed as men's.
