The North Face Hydrenalite Down Hooded Parka

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I wanted a longer parka with legit warmth and weather protection but without that full expedition vibe, and this one totally nails it. The 600-fill recycled down is warm without being overkill, and the hood and hem adjustments let me seal in heat on frigid days. It’s great for winter walks and commuting in comfort."From icy sidewalks to crisp mountain air, the Hydrenalite™ Down Hooded Parka from The North Face brings reliable warmth and everyday function to cold-weather outings. With a thigh-length silhouette and plush 600-fill recycled down insulation, it delivers the comfort we need for urban adventures and winter escapes alike. The longer cut means more coverage when temperatures dip, while the down insulation packs in cozy heat without excessive weight.Its shell is made from recycled nylon taffeta and treated with a non-PFC DWR finish to repel light rain or snow. The adjustable hem and fitted hood help seal out the chill, and an internal draft flap behind the center zip blocks wind from sneaking in. Elastic cuffs and two exposed-zip hand pockets round out this versatile winter parka, giving us the blend of performance and city style we’ve been looking for.
