This Waterproof Parka from Columbia Provides Complete Protection

— March 16, 2016 — Fashion
In its Fall 2016 collection, Columbia Sportswear is unveiling a waterproof parka that offers winter protection from the inside and outside.

The 'Long Hooded Parka' is filled with blend of water-resistant goose down and Omni-HEATTM Thermal Insulation. On top of this, the parka's interior is lined with Omni-HEAT reflective lining, which acts like a mirror to distribute heat that's naturally generated by the body.

On the outside, the Columbia jacket features just as many protective details. For instance, the design has a drop tail, an adjustable hem and a removable synthetic fur cuff on its adjustable storm hood. With the many modifications that can be made to the Long Hooded Parka, there's no chance of feeling a chill, even during the coldest of fall and winter days.
