Is this parka actually waterproof?

The shell is a two-layer Windstopper membrane rated to a 20,000 mm water column, which is solid protection for rain and wet snow. Seams and the zip are the usual weak points, so it is not a substitute for a fully taped hardshell in a downpour.

It uses feather padding under striped quilting, so it is a proper winter coat for cold city weather. It is warmer than an unlined shell but less insulated than a heavy expedition parka.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes. The hood is removable, so you can wear it as a cleaner collared coat in dry weather.

What is the fit like?

The two-way zip lets you open the hem for movement, which helps with the long cut. The material does not state a size range, so judge the fit from the cut rather than a chart.

How does it compare with a Gore-Tex shell?

The Windstopper membrane is breathable and windproof like a shell, but the feather padding and long cut make this a warmer, quieter winter coat. A shell is lighter and packs smaller but needs layering.
