Sound ambitious? So is this coat. It features a [snorkel silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-brighton-insulated-snow-jacket) and unbeatable warmth with 550 down-fill power. The [water-proof exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-outdoor-collection) comes in several different colors, from Arctic white or Glazed Ginger to an electrifying "Swedish Blue" shade that will definitely turn a few heads. You don't have to be a mountaineer or trailblazer to benefit from wearing this stylish jacket. All you have to do is want to keep safe, warm and dry, during one of the coldest winters ever predicted. Finally, the coat features an adjustable hood and waist, allowing you to customize the shape and fit to your specific needs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Outdoor Fashion:** Timberland's Scar Ridge Parka combines style and functionality, catering to the increasing demand for outdoor fashion that can withstand extreme weather conditions. - **Customizable Apparel:** The adjustable hood and waist of the Scar Ridge Parka highlight the demand for customizable apparel that allows individuals to create a perfect fit. - **Bold Color Choices:** Timberland's use of bold colors like 'Swedish Blue' in the Scar Ridge Parka taps into the trend of bold color choices in winter outerwear. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Apparel:** The Scar Ridge Parka represents the disruptive innovation opportunity within the outdoor apparel industry, providing customers with fashionable yet functional winter wear. - **Customization Technology:** The demand for customizable apparel opens up opportunities for companies specializing in customization technology to collaborate with fashion brands. - **Outerwear Retail:** Brick-and-mortar and online retailers in the outerwear industry can benefit from offering a range of vibrant colors in their winter collections to attract customers looking for bold fashion choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timeless Winter Outwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-and-winter-line.md) - [Minimal Extreme-Cold Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asgard-down-parka.md) - [90s-Style Winter Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmlyn-baltoro-jacket.md) - [Sustainable Warm Parka Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stormshadow-parka.md) - [Body-Mapped All-Weather Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weatherproof-parka.md) - [Extreme Insulation Winter Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shackleton-fuchs-down-jacket.md) - [Winter Performance Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-performance-jacket.md) - [High-Performance Mountain Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-brighton-insulated-snow-jacket.md) - [Collaboration Packable Puffer Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanga-x-pilgrim-surf-supply-parka.md)
