Even though this parka is tough enough for harsh alpine environments, you don’t need to be an ice climber to appreciate its warmth and weather protection. The Apu Parka includes zippered vents, helmet-compatible construction and flexible quilting, which means it will be replacing my decade-old insulated ski jacket once the lifts start spinning.
The outer shell is made from bluesign-certified, 100% recycled polyester with four-way stretch and a PFAS-free water-repellent finish that’s water resistant without feeling stiff. Inside, PAKAFILL insulation—a blend of 50% alpaca fiber and 50% recycled polyester—helps maintain warmth even in wet conditions. The Apu Parka provides lightweight protection from the elements and reliable control of your body temperature, making it a high-performance winter parka. MSRP: $349. Pakaapparel.com
