Is the McMurdo Parka actually waterproof?

Yes. It uses a seam-sealed DryVent 2L shell with a non-PFC DWR finish, so it sheds rain and wet snow. The down insulation stays dry in normal winter weather.

It has a relaxed, loose fit and runs large. If you plan to wear only a sweater underneath, consider sizing down; if you layer heavily, keep your usual size.

It is insulated with 600-fill recycled down and built for cold winters. It suits freezing temperatures and wind, and the long cut covers the thighs.

The parka itself, with the attached adjustable hood and faux-fur ruff already fitted. The ruff is removable if you prefer a plain hood.

Is $199.99 a good price?

That is the best new price across 9 stores as of November 7, 2026, and it sits well under the parka's typical list price. It is a strong buy at that level.

Does it have pockets for gloves and a phone?

Yes. There are dual-entry hand pockets, two concealed zip chest pockets, and an internal zip chest pocket.
