Is the Hawks Prairie II warm enough for winter?

It is a mid-weight insulated parka suited to typical cold-weather city use. For deep-freeze days or long hours outdoors, layer underneath or step up to a heavier expedition-style coat.

The shell is water-resistant and handles rain and snow showers, but it is not a fully waterproof seam-sealed rain jacket. Heavy sustained rain can eventually soak through.

Yes, it has an attached hood for head and neck coverage in wind and precipitation.

How does it compare with a down parka?

Synthetic insulation stays warmer when damp and is easier to care for, but it is heavier and less packable than down at the same warmth.

What should I wear under it?

A base layer plus a sweater is enough for most winter days. The roomy parka cut leaves space for layering.

Our take on the Columbia Women's Hawks Prairie II Jacket

The Columbia Hawks Prairie II is a women's insulated parka built for cold, wet winter days. It pairs a water-resistant shell with synthetic insulation and a hood, so it handles rain, sleet and wind better than a plain fashion coat. It suits commuters and everyday wearers who want warmth without a bulky down parka. Against premium technical shells it gives up some breathability and packability, but it covers the basics of winter protection at a mainstream level.
