Parka jackets
Hooded down parkas and insulated winter coats from Canada Goose, Mackage, and Nobis.
A parka is a cold weather coat cut to the mid thigh or knee with thick insulation and a deep hood. When choosing one, look for a weather resistant shell, an attached hood, and a sturdy storm flap that seals out the wind. Quality coats rely on dense down fill or thermal padding to trap heat without adding uncomfortable bulk. Canada Goose and Moose Knuckles make rugged pieces for extreme cold, while Mackage, Nobis, and Herno Laminar create sleek styles with exceptional cold weather protection.
Common questions
What makes a parka different from a puffer jacket?
A parka extends to the mid thigh or knee and features a weather resistant shell with a storm flap. Puffer jackets stop at the waist and prioritize quilted warmth over full storm protection.
Is down warmer than poly insulation in a parka?
High loft down provides superior warmth for its weight in freezing dry air. Dense poly insulation retains heat effectively even when exposed to wet snow.
How should a winter parka fit?
A parka should fit comfortably over thick knitwear without restricting your shoulders or arms. The hem should fall around the mid thigh to keep cold drafts away from your torso.
