Best Parka For Men: 8 Jackets Reviewed For This Winter

best winter parkas for men reviewed

Well, we are in mid October and already the temperatures have lowered enough to take out the light coats and wear long sleeves. It only gets colder from here and that brings us to this article.

We will be reviewing and comparing eight parkas for men, by some of the best and most well know brands when it comes to winter clothing: The North Face vs. Geographical Norway vs. Canada Goose vs. Jack Wolfskin vs. Blend.

Parka jackets are warm, cozy and really comfortable. While there are different styles, cuts and designs, they typically come with fur trim on the hood. This is due to the fact that parkas are intended for harsh weather, where snow and cold drafts are the norm, therefore the fur trim offers protection to the face. It does look stylish, too, so that’s another plus.
