Summer is but a pleasant distraction from who we really are as northern people. So, we cut each Permafrost Parka from panels of 10 ounce Army Duck, stitch them together, then shrink the whole thing in the wash. Our heavier textile thrives on abuse, release even slight perspiration, and blocks the most bitter winds. The articulated cut offers an extra 4" of overhead reach, and enough girth accept even an 800 fill power down jacket. The full sized torso and skirt act like a dressing room on exposed treks, yet they cinch down to your size with integral waist and hem draw cords. 

The Permafrost Parka has two generous zippered chest pockets that hold just about anything you need. Each has a hidden port so you can reach through to your inner layers without exposing yourself. Two low-profile pockets on the skirt hold extra mittens and hats. We stitch a 2 way zipper between offset flaps for the main closure. It's placed outside of the fabric for easy maintenance or replacement. Stainless steel snaps seal the flaps against the wind, and allow you to tailor your ventilation. Natural colored parka has Ivory colored enameled brass snap caps. Black parka available with Black enameled snap caps per special order. Our slim Velcro cuffs fit over work gloves or inside a pair of mittens. We stitch loops under the armpits to anchor your mitten leashes.

Like our anorak, the Permafrost Parka hood is large enough to hold a helmet, yet it compresses in 3 directions to work with any hat. The inner hood facing is made from recycled polyester fleece to manage to the moisture from your breath during bouts of activity. The outer rim has an integral zipper to accept a removable ruff for bitter climates. All the cinch cords and zippers have toggles for ease of use in cold weather. Fabric: 10 ounce Cotton Canvas, 14 ounce recycled Polyester fleece. Color: Black or Natural.. Sizes: XS-XL. Made in the USA from domestic fabrics. Decorative trim available for a limited time.
