- Is the Silent Down Long Parka waterproof?
- No. The shell has a durable water repellent finish that sheds light snow and drizzle, but seams are not sealed and it is not a rain jacket.
- How warm is it compared with a synthetic parka?
- Warmer for its weight thanks to 700-fill-power down, but down loses loft if it gets soaked, where synthetic insulation keeps more warmth when wet.
- Can it be machine washed?
- Yes, with a down-specific detergent on a gentle cycle, then tumble dried low with dryer balls to restore loft. Avoid fabric softener.
- Does it run true to size?
- It fits close to size but is cut slim through the shoulders, so size up if you plan to layer thick sweaters.
- What features does it include?
- A hood, two-way front zip, zippered handwarmer pockets, an internal pocket and a windproof shell.
- Is the down responsibly sourced?
- Patagonia uses recycled duck and goose down that is traceable and certified to animal welfare standards.
