The Alpha Industries N-3B Parka for women is a snorkel-style cold-weather parka adapted from Alpha's military flight jacket line. It pairs a flight nylon shell with a channel-quilted polyester lining, a faux mouton-lined snorkel hood with removable faux fur trim, a full-length storm flap and knit storm cuffs. Four exterior pockets plus the signature MA-1 sleeve utility pocket and the red "Remove Before Flight" flag mark it as an Alpha piece. It suits women who want a long, thigh-length parka for extreme cold and prefer a military look over a sleek fashion coat. Against down parkas it trades loft for a water-resistant nylon shell and a roomier snorkel cut; owners of the N-3B line generally rate its warmth and build highly, while some find it bulky and heavy.
