Modeled after our men's arctic parka, introduced in 1972 for workers constructing the Alaskan pipeline (where the average winter low is minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit), our women's arctic parka is every bit as durable - with a more flattering fit. Many have braved the most extreme temperatures in this parka, which has more recently achieved Global status as a fashion icon. The generously pocketed parka provides ample warmth and coverage, from the detachable genuine coyote fur hood ruff to the hand-warmer pockets. Ribbed storm cuffs stops wind in its tracks, and Teflon DWR now makes this classic parka water-resistant.
