Women's Parkas
Three things decide how much cold a parka can take: what is inside it, how far down the leg it reaches, and how well the hood and cuffs seal. Down traps the most warmth for its weight. Fill power, which runs from around 550 up past 800, rates the loft of that down rather than the quantity used, so fill weight matters just as much as the headline number. Synthetic insulation gives up some of that warmth for weight but keeps working when damp, which is the trade most city winters actually call for.
Cuts run from hip-length shapes through mid-thigh to longline parkas reaching the calf. Drawcord waists, storm flaps over the zip, elasticated inner cuffs and detachable hoods trimmed in fur or faux fur control where cold gets in. Outer shells are usually coated or laminated technical nylon, often woven as ripstop, in matte and high-shine finishes over quilted or baffled construction.
