- Is the Jackson Glacier Parka actually waterproof?
- Yes. The shell is waterproof and windproof, with sealed seams and a water-repellent finish. It handles rain and wet snow better than a standard down jacket.
- How warm is it compared with other Patagonia parkas?
- It is one of Patagonia's warmest everyday parkas, with 700-fill-power down. It is warmer than the Down Sweater but less technical than expedition parkas.
- Does it run true to size?
- It has a straight fit with room for layers, so most buyers take their usual size. Those wanting a closer fit may size down.
- Can I wear it for hiking or skiing?
- It is built for everyday cold-weather wear, not high-output activity. It can overheat on the move; a shell plus midlayer suits active days better.
- How should I wash a down parka?
- Use a down-specific detergent, wash on a gentle cycle, and tumble dry low with dryer balls until fully dry. Avoid fabric softener, which clumps the down.
- What is in the box?
- The parka only. No stuff sack or extra accessories are included.
