Heavy powder, torrential rain, sunny slush – nothing gotย through this jacket. Made fromย 100% Nylon, it’s got an InfiDRY membrane, boasting 15,000mm Waterproof and 10,000g Breathability ratings.
With a thermal rating of 7, the 60g Polyfill insulation will keep you warm in winter conditions – but stays breathable on spring days.ย Two Air-Flow mesh lined chest vents allow for increased breathability during sunny sessions or challenging climbs.
Fit:
The Parklan Ceremony has a feminine yet relaxed fit. Tight enough so you don’t look like the Michelin man, but loose enough to move around in easily. This jacket has a bit of extra length, keeping snow outย even after the most brutal tomahawks (the adjustable powder skirt probably helps too).
While the jacket runs true to size, the hem, hood, and cuffs are all adjustable.
Features:
My favorite thing about this jacket? The pockets.
For years, a pocket shortage has plagued women’s clothing.ย This jacket has more pockets than I know what to do with. Two zippered chest pockets, two flap-cover hand pockets, a zippered sleeve pass-pocket, interior mesh goggle pocket, and an interior smartphone pocket with audio cord outlet. That’s 7 pockets –ย the only problem is that I’ve actually thought Iย lost my stuff.
Did I mention the thumb-gaiters? I love thumb-gaiters. I haven’t had snow touch my wrists since I got this jacket.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
Critically Taped Seams
Removable Adjustable Powder Skirt with PJ Connectโข System
Front Hood Drawcord Adjustment
Snap Up Fishtail Hem
Zip-Off Removable Fur on Hood
One Thing I Didn’t Like:
The buttons, while cute, don’t actually work.
Overall:
Overall, this is a great outer layer for everyday use. I wore this jacket allย winter, whether I was walking the dogs or hiking in the backcountry.
