- Is the Suttle Mountain Parka actually waterproof?
- Columbia rates the shell as waterproof and water-repellent, and owners report rain and snow beading off. Seams and zippers are the usual weak points in long wet spells.
- How warm is it compared with a down parka?
- It uses synthetic fill, which stays warm when damp but is heavier than down for similar warmth. It suits typical winter cold, not extreme expedition conditions.
- Can the hood be removed?
- Yes. The hood detaches, and it is lined with fleece and trimmed with faux fur.
- What sizes does it come in?
- It is offered in women's sizes from Small through XXL, including Large and XL.
- Is it good for hiking?
- It works for casual winter walks and light hiking. The long, padded cut and limited breathability make it less suited to hard, sweaty climbs.
- What is in the box?
- The parka itself. The detachable hood and faux-fur trim come with it.
