- Is the RevolutionRace Insulated Parka actually waterproof?
- Yes, the shell is described as waterproof, so it handles rain and wet snow. Seams and zips are the usual weak points, so re-proof the shell over time.
- How warm is it compared with a down parka?
- It is warm enough for typical winter commuting and wet cold, but synthetic fill is bulkier and less warm per gram than down. For deep cold, a down parka or a mid-layer underneath works better.
- Does it run true to size?
- Owner feedback suggests the fit is roomy, so those between sizes may want to size down. It is cut to layer over sweaters.
- Can I wear it for hiking or active use?
- It works for light walks, but the fleece lining traps heat during hard exertion. A shell with pit zips or a lighter insulated jacket suits hiking better.
- What colors and sizes are available?
- It comes in black in sizes S through XL, with a full zip and fleece lining.
- How should I care for it?
- Wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash rather than regular detergent, and tumble low or air dry. Reapply a waterproofing treatment when water stops beading.
- Where is the RevolutionRace Insulated Parka cheapest?
- At RevolutionRace, for $279.00, as of our latest check.
