- Is the Espel parka warm enough for freezing weather?
- It is built for cold city winters with synthetic fill and a long body. In deep cold or long stays outside, layer a sweater underneath.
- Does it use real down?
- No. The fill is synthetic and the shell is polyester, so the parka is fully animal-free.
- How does it fit?
- Save The Duck cuts run slim. If you plan to wear thick layers, take one size up.
- Can I machine wash it?
- Yes. Synthetic fill tolerates machine washing and tumble drying on low, which down parkas handle less easily.
- Does it have a hood?
- Yes, the Espel has an attached hood, and the full zip closes to the chin.
- How does it compare with a down parka?
- It is easier to wash and stays warm when damp, but it is heavier to pack and loses loft sooner than down.
- Where is the Save The Duck Espel Insulated Parka cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $578.00, as of our latest check.
