- Is the Nuuk parka actually waterproof?
- Yes. It uses Fjallraven's Hydratic membrane with taped seams, so it sheds rain and wet snow. It is not a breathable hardshell, so expect some clamminess on hard hikes.
- How warm is it compared with a down parka?
- The 250 g/m² synthetic fill is warm for wet winters and keeps insulating when damp. A comparable down parka is warmer for its weight but loses loft when soaked.
- Does it run true to size?
- It has a regular fit, but several owners say it runs roomy. If you plan to wear only a sweater underneath, consider sizing down.
- Is it good for hiking as well as city wear?
- It works for cold-weather walks and light trekking. For fast or long hikes, a lighter shell-and-fleece layering system breathes better.
- What is the hood like?
- The storm hood is fleece-lined and adjustable, and owners say it stays up in wind and keeps rain off the face.
- How long is the coat?
- The center back length is about 33.8 inches, reaching over the rear and thighs for extra coverage in cold and slush.
