parkas
Going to the office on a chilly day?.
You will need a parka.
Work still must get done regardless the weather conditions, so unless you are allowed to work from home, you will need ultra-warm conditions to get you from your home to the office without turning into an ice block.
Mountain Hardwear Men's Sub Zero SL Parka
650-fill goose down, articulated sleeves and a detachable hood make the Sub Zero an essential piece of gear for cold weather backcountry expeditions.
Mountain Hardwear Men's Absolute Zero Parka
800- fill goosedown with a Conduit SL laminate for warmth and waterproof protection. Designed for high altitude mountaineering.
Patagonia Men's Down Parka
Winter alpinism's challenges are complex, but brutal cold calls for a simple solution. We use the best down (800-fill-power) and a new polyester shell fabric: extremely tough and durable, but still lightweight, windproof and, like the lining, downproof and water-repellent. The drawcord hood's small draft tube cleanly encircles your face; internal mesh drop-in pockets stow water bottles or spare mitts. Other fine points include soft, light, perforated hook-and-loop elasticized wrist cuffs and new reinforcements on shoulders and cuffs for greater durability. Fit is relaxed for layering. Deluge DWRPatagonia?s proprietary durable water repellent fabric finish, Deluge DWR, lasts substantially longer than standard DWRs. Garments with the Deluge DWR finish have like-new repellency after years of extensive use.
The North Face Men's McMurdo Parka
'The McMurdo Parka is a vintage, around-town parka with down-insulated warmth.'
The North Face Men's McMurdo Down Parka
An enduring classic, The North Face McMurdo Parka offers everything a parka should be for work and play in cold weather. That's probably why this garment ranks among the most successful in The North Face outerwear collection. The McMurdo features a waterproof, breathable, seam-sealed construction backed by warm 550-fill down and more pockets than you'll typically find on most winter outerwear. If fur isn't your thing, the faux trim can be easily removed along with the entire adjustable hood. Inside the McMurdo Parka you'll find two zippered security pockets and two pockets for water bottles. This North Face Parka is also electronics ready, so you can hook up to your work radio or MP3 music player without running a bunch of wires or leaving zippers agape. Fun aside, the McMurdo is one of the best-equipped parkas we've seen, and unless global warming eliminates winter, we won't have a bunch in stock for long.
You could wear an old worn out coat, but a sporty parka would give a better impression should you run into your boss or client on the way to the office.
Although these parkas are designed for performance, as in, they would keep you warm, even if you were to go mountain climbing, they look great too. Good enough to make a great impression on anyone who runs into you on the way to the office.
