- Is the Kiruna Padded Parka actually waterproof?
- Yes. The outer uses a waterproof, breathable membrane, so it handles rain and wet snow. Seams are not fully taped, so it is not a substitute for a hardshell in sustained downpours.
- How cold can I wear it?
- It is a solid winter coat for mild-to-cold urban climates, roughly around freezing with layers. In hard frost or long stationary time outdoors, most owners want a warmer down parka.
- Does the synthetic fill work when wet?
- Yes. Synthetic fill retains most of its insulation when damp, which is the main advantage over down in wet snow and rain.
- How should I wash it?
- Machine wash at 30 or 40 degrees with a technical wash, do not bleach or dry clean, and do not tumble dry. Iron on low if needed.
- How does it fit?
- It has a long, straight cut that runs roomy to allow layering. Shorter wearers often size down for a less boxy look.
- What is in the box?
- One parka. It ships as a single piece with no extra liner or stuff sack.
