Is the Tarka II Long Padded Jacket actually waterproof?

Yes. Mountain Warehouse lists it as a waterproof, insulated jacket, so it is designed to keep rain out as well as hold warmth. Seams and fabric ratings are not specified, so treat it as everyday rain protection rather than storm gear.

How warm is it compared with a short padded jacket?

It uses the same kind of synthetic padding as other Tarka II jackets, but the longer body covers the hips and upper legs, so it feels warmer overall. It is built for cold winter days, not deep alpine conditions.

What is the difference between this and the standard Tarka II jacket?

The main difference is length: this version is long and covers more of the body, while the standard Tarka II is shorter. Both sit in the same waterproof, padded range.

Can I wear it over a suit or thick sweater?

Yes, it is cut as an outer layer, so it fits over knitwear and work clothes. The padded lining adds bulk, so very thick layers underneath may feel snug.

The jacket is designed as a hooded winter coat, and the hood is part of the insulated build. Check the specific version you are viewing for the exact hood style.

Is it good for hiking?

It works for light walks and cold-weather errands, but it is heavier and less breathable than a technical shell. For sustained uphill hiking, a waterproof shell with a fleece breathes better.

Our take on the Mountain Warehouse Women's Tarka II Long Padded Jacket

The Tarka II is Mountain Warehouse's long padded winter coat for women, built as a waterproof, insulated outer layer for cold and wet days. Its long cut covers the hips and upper legs, which sets it apart from shorter padded jackets in the same range. It suits commuters, dog walkers and anyone who wants one coat for rain and cold rather than layering a shell over a puffer. Against pricier long waterproof parkas it trades technical fabrics and trim for a straightforward design, and owners of the Tarka line generally treat it as dependable everyday winter wear.
