When To Wear It

This heavy insulated parka is designed for durability and challenging conditions. As the name suggests, it is highly insulated in order to prevent any heat loss. This works in two ways.

First by preventing low temperatures from creeping in through seams and blind spots, while also maintaining body heat at just the right levels. As a bonus, the breathable fabric also helps prevent overheating. This is an important feature for those of you who are highly active and really enjoy the outdoors.

Weather-wise, the outer shell is very water-resistant, while also being windproof. The reason it is not completely waterproof is because if that were the case, it would hinder breathability, which would quickly become a problem with this jacket’s heavy insulation.

As for where to wear it, this is a great outdoors jacket for active men and also for casual wear. Because it comes with few logos and no patterns or bold colors, it is also a good option for work, especially if you have to work long hours out in the cold.

Now let’s get into the design and what you will come across when wearing it. It comes with a removable hood, which is also adjustable by drawcords. For further protection of the face, the hood comes with front flaps that close with drawcords too.

The collar is quite high and closes up by the main zipper, which is water-resistant and two-way. To help further prevent weather permeability, there is a studded storm flap covering the zipper.

Pockets are another interesting feature, as there are numerous included and each quite spacious. This will come in handy when camping or working outdoors, as you won’t need to have a bag with you at all times. There are six outer pockets on the body, four of which with stud closure and two of them with zippers.

There are also two sleeve pockets on the left one. As for inner pockets, there are several ones, placed vertically and with zipper closures.

The sleeve cuffs and waist are also adjustable, the former with studded flaps and the latter with an inserted drawcord.

As a last feature to mention is the reflective webbing on the front and back. This will keep you safe in dim light and bad weather.

Material

There are several key things to mention about this jacket’s fabric. Starting with the outer layer, it is made o 100% Polyester Oxford, which gives the jacket its water and wind-resistance.

Then, on the inside, including the hood, the lining is made of 100% Polyester Taffeta. This is a soft yet durable fabric, that further insulates the jacket and protects it against the wind.

The insulation layer is quilted in order to prevent blind spots and to lay better between the shell and inner lining.
