- Is the Squall parka actually waterproof?
- Yes. The nylon shell is treated waterproof and the seams are sealed, so it handles rain and wet snow. It is not a dry-suit, but it keeps you dry in normal winter weather.
- How warm is it compared with a down jacket?
- It uses synthetic insulation, which stays warm when damp but is heavier for the same warmth. It suits typical winter days, not extreme sub-zero conditions.
- How does it fit?
- It runs roomy and boxy, which lets you layer a sweater underneath. If you want a trimmer look, consider sizing down.
- Does it have a hood?
- Yes, it comes with an attached hood for head and neck coverage in rain and wind.
- Can I machine wash it?
- Yes. Wash it on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low; avoid fabric softener, which can reduce the shell's water repellency.
- Is it good for commuting?
- It is a strong pick for wet commutes and everyday errands. It is less ideal if you want a packable jacket for travel.
