The Patagonia Women's Diamond Quilted Parka is a mid-thigh insulated coat built from 100% recycled polyester taffeta with 80-g Thermogreen recycled polyester insulation. Diamond quilting cuts bulk and traps heat, while an attached insulated hood, elasticized cuffs and a glove-friendly rope zipper pull handle cold, windy days. It is a Fair Trade Certified sewn piece aimed at everyday winter wear rather than deep-cold expeditions. Against puffier down parkas it is lighter and more compressible but less warm; against basic synthetic coats it adds recycled materials, a PFAS-free DWR finish and a longer mid-thigh cut.

Owners of Patagonia's quilted synthetic parkas generally praise the warmth-to-weight ratio, the recycled materials and the easy-glove zipper. Common complaints center on the insulation being too light for hard winter cold and the shell feeling thin.
This is an insulated parka with diamond quilting. The shell and lining are 100% recycled polyester taffeta with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, made without intentionally added PFAS, to shed light moisture. The insulation is 80-g Thermogreen® 100% recycled polyester. The diamond quilting reduces bulk, increases compressibility and traps heat.
The insulated hood adjusts with a drawcord. A full-length center-front zipper has a climbing-rope pull that is easy to use with gloves. The cuffs have elasticized binding to keep warmth in and wind out.
The parka has a relaxed fit and mid-thigh length. A drawcord at the interior back waist lets you adjust the fit. It has two deep, insulated handwarmer pockets and one interior zippered pocket. It is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
