Casual Microfiber Mountain Parka Jacket

 (2 customer reviews)

This might have been 4 stars if I thought I had ordered a light jacket or windbreaker. I thought I was ordering a coat.

par·ka Pronunciation (pärk)

n.

1. A hooded fur outer garment worn in the Arctic, originally of pullover design but now generally having a front closure.

2. A coat or jacket with a hood and usually a warm lining for cold-weather wear.

The description was brief and did not include information on fill, so I wouldn't go so far as to say it was misrepresented. But since it is titled "Mountain Parka" and listed in the coats, rather than jackets, category, I thought I was buying something suitable for Winter. Not even close. That said, it is a nice looking and seemingly well made jacket, which would be very appropriate for moderate Fall or Spring weather.

This is my second parka of this brand. It is comfortable and protects well from wind and water. The many pockets are very convenient. They last a long time.
