Parkas?

[Mr.Bell]

i searced the forums and there is nothing on parkas, what are peoples thoughts on them?

you mean parkas as in large, heavy jackets with fur lined hoods? Well this should really be in 'SKI EQUIPMENT' instead of media and arts. I guess parka making is an art though so ok. Anyway, as much as I liek the look of parkas, i think a lighter, shell/core insulated jacket is better for all but the coldest -35 celsius conditions. Parkas are really heavy and you can't really be comfortable in them if it is kinda warm out

[Pippin]

to my knowledge its just a heavy jacket

 

[Mr.Bell]

ya i know they are heavy jackets, im not asking what they are, im asking what ppl think of them.

haha pancho, opposite end of the spectrum

ive got a down jacket which is similar. its a thick sessions down.

they are great when its like -20 or below..

i use a normal coat for all other conditions and just layer accordinly.

I think they look cool, but they are too heavy for most days, unless you ski on Ellesmere or Baffin Island or something most of the time.
