What is a Parker jacket?
A parka typically refers to a longer-length insulated jacket that’s meant to be worn in very cold temperatures and climates, providing both warmth and weather protection. Most feature a protective insulated hood with traditional parkas often having real or faux fur trim. The parka, with its waterproof properties and thicker fabric, is perfect for outdoor use and wet conditions, while the puffer jacket is designed to offer optimal warmth with often less water resistance. Depending on your style and needs, a parka or a puffer jacket might suit you better.
