Versatile Winter Parka

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] -From Chicago: jacket keeps you warm in the cold windy Chicago winter. Excellent wind proof jacket. Can run warm with temps around 32 F. Main zipper can be finicky at times. Length and size is great, boxy cut. Ordered size large, 6’3” and 44L suit jacket size, and it fits well.

Incredibly Warm; Lots Of Great Features.

Bought the Nuuk Park at the end of January when it was on sale. I'm 6 ft, 175 lbs, with a 36 in (circumference) chest. The small fit well in arms and over length but was too tight around the chest to facilitate any sort of fun or play in the snow and layering a sweater underneath was too tight, so I opted for a medium. The arms are longer than I'm used to but without storm-cuffs, the length is needed in covering the wrists of gloves and the Velcro helps get a good fit. The zipper is great, it just gets some getting used to it, and the two-way system is handy for venting when you get too warm. Other things I really like: the size and structure of the hood (it easily fits my wool toque); the soft fabric inside the zipper and how high up the collar goes; the snaps to cover the zipper; and all the pockets. The only thing that would be nicer to have is chest pockets that faced outwards (like on the women's version), so that hands could be rested inside them when waiting around. I haven't been able to test the parka in really cold weather but I don't doubt its ability to keep me warm. This morning was -25 C (-30C with windchill) in Winnipeg and I was too warm wearing a wool sweater. With snow pants and proper winter boots (I have Baffin's), and a bit of layering, I think I'd be comfortable down to -40C.

Great!

Very sattisfied product. Highly recommended to all in the cold

Great Parka

Great Parka, replacing my old LL Bean one.The only issue is a zipper, that is why it is not 5 stars.

Working Outside In Chicago!

I work outside in Chicago and needed a new jacket. Was skeptical on a non down jacket being warm. With the reviews I decided to give it a try and am not disappointed one bit. Best purchase I’ve made in my gear. Super warm and comfy. Feels durable also. Would highly recommend.

So Cozy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this jacket after sitting on it in a cart for months. Reading over reviews and other blog posts about what their thoughts were on the coat. Ultimately, I finally bought it and tried it on and it was just as comfortable and cozy as the reviews stated. Other than the additional time to get used to zipping up the jacket, I found this jacket very warm, comfortable, and received some compliments here and there. If only the weather was more cold to give reason to wearing it outdoors more often!

Very Warm And Looks Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very warm and stylish parka. The zipper is definitely really annoying for the first month or so but once it breaks in it's just a tiny bit annoying. Plenty of useful pockets and storage areas. The fit is roomy so size down if you're not plus sized.

Warm Heavy Jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This parka was purchased for lake effect snow winter storms. It did not disappoint. The coat had plenty of room for layers underneath. Also I liked that the hood fit and stayed up. Ski jacket hoods are designed for helmets underneath and fall off without one.

Great All Round Jacket

Iv had this jacket 2 years now, probably the best jacket iv bought, keeps you warm and dry, good length, padded warm pockets and lost of pockets, great for out doors or in the city.

Actual Review On Functionality And Fit

I live around Calgary Alberta, and I purchased this jacket to help withstand the bitter winters here. Overall I am impressed with the jacket. It is quite heavy compared to down jackets, but it has kept me very warm as I had hoped. With this jacket being more on the heavy end. It’s not something you’d really wear for mountaineering or expeditions of any sort. This is more of a jacket that you simply exist in during cold winter months. It’s a lifestyle jacket more than anything else. For me, that exactly what I wanted. A warm coat so that I wouldn’t be miserable during Canadian winters. I have an average resistance to the cold. With that being said, -15C is the jackets limit for wearing a T-Shirt underneath which is rather impressive. A light sweater under neath and I’m good for -20. This temperature range hits the typical average seen around Calgary. Sure, we see down to -50 from time to time, but that’s not an every day occurrence. Now, a few things about the jacket that kind of suck. It has no wristlets, the sleeve length is quite short, the width of the sleeves are very large and bulky with no taper going towards the wrists. The jacket also runs quite large around the body which making sizing problematic. I’m 6ft at 185lbs with a lean build. Purchased a Medium. My arms are a bit too long for the sleeves given there are no wristlets, and any larger in size, the jacket would drown my torso. The torso does have an elastic adjustment to synch it close, but it does end up looking odd with the fabric folded. It also gives you an hour glass figure which looks odd on a man. If you don’t synch up the waist, cold rushes up the jacket so your options are to either layer up to the point you don’t have to use the waist adjustment, or accept your new feminine physique. Another issue is the hood. It’s very nice, but could do with some straps separately in the hood to give you some real closure. There are elastics around the hood to close it, but they are completely useless as the hood has a wire surround to hold its shape so there is no closing it. The fur also looks strange. It’s as if they cut it too short giving a bowl cut look from the front. As you can see, a lot of issues come down to aesthetics, but the functionality is there. Another thing is the zipper. It’s really not a problem. I don’t know who is having issues with the zip, but it seems every second grown man in these reviews has problems with the zipper. If you have any level of competence or coordination, the zipper won’t bother you. Maybe the reviews regarding the zipper actually did have problems, but my zipper works just fine. Some improvements that could be made to the jacket would be wristlets, longer sleeves, and some straps around the hood to give some good neck closure. The final thing I will mention is the photos for the men’s absolutely suck when trying to pick a size. I had to find reviews off of Reddit and YouTube because the size charts say I needed a large, but my gut told me a medium. It was a good thing I listened to my gut. For the Women, the Nuuk is actually shown being worn properly. It’s zipped up and the woman looks warm. For the men’s advertisement, the guy is wearing it swag with the zipper open like a 16 year old on his way to the bus stop. It doesn’t show us the jacket fully zipped, or out in the elements so you have no idea on how it will fit. Lucky, if you view the Singi down Parka for men, in some of the photos you can see the Nuuk being worn in the background. I’ll leave it at that. Jacket is awesome and good for -15 in just a t shirt, but could do with some minor, and some major tweaks. Make it with wristlets, and I’d have been forced to give 5 stars. Cold and snow getting up the sleeves is not pleasant.

Great Parka Overall

Bought 2 of these for me and my brother. The quality on the black one as perfect. the green one i got for myself was rather poor. poor stitching, insulation non existent and clumped up. im guessing mine was used and someone tumble dried the parka

Love The Jacket, Hate The Faux Fur.

I bought this jacket last year. I love it. Highly sustainable. BUT, I HATE THE FAUX FUR CRAP ON THE HOOD. Faux fur is not more sustainable than real fur. If you don’t want to u see real fur, fine. I’d pay more for real fur that is sustainably and humanely harvested. But the acrylic crap this faux fur is made of is HORRIBLE for the environment. At least give people to choice to not get the crappy collar. I’m now trapped because I think this thing should be burned so it doesn’t turn into microplastic pollution. REAL FUR OR NOTHING! Or give people a choice!

Very Good Coat, But The Hood Is Annoying

I received this coat as a Christmas present, and overall, I really like it. I’d give it 5 stars, but the lining of the hood is really annoying. First the positives. The coat is very well made, and will keep you warm and dry. I’d say it needs a good mid layer under 20 F. It looks good and has plenty of pockets. I’ve worn it in pretty dry, cold weather, but it performed well in one nasty, heavy Winter Storm with a lot of flurries I got caught in. This brings us to the hood. The fur trim is excellent, it keeps snow out, and when the hood is down, it lightly touches my ears for extra warmth. This might be unique to me. The hood itself has solid insulation. Maybe it could have a little more, but it is solid. The lining is nice too. What I don’t like is the lining comes out whenever you pull the hood off. You always have to push it back in when you take the hood off. This feels poorly constructed/designed to me, and honestly feels kind of cheap. Especially since the rest of the coat is well made. Overall the hood does its job when zipped up, but it does have this really annoying issue. The zipper can be tricky at first, but it’s easy to get used to. The collar covers the lower part of your chin and has a comfortable interior lining for the chin. This coat is a 4.5 for me. The zipper isn’t an issue as it is for some, but I don’t like the issue with the hood. Overall, I think most people will be happy with this coat and I do recommend it.

Genuinely Incredible Piece Of Kit

I actually have no complaints about a product for once. It's my go to for extreme cold, and it's served me well in temps as low as -40°. You can wear *heavy* layers underneath this thing and it doesn't feel cumbersome. The wind and water resistance is excellent, and adaptable with waxing. The fur lined does a very good job keeping wind and ice out my eyes. Again, no notes. In my opinion, it's a must have if you're serious about exploring the colder parts of earth.

Amazing Coat - Best I've Owned

I needed a new winter parka, and was looking for one that would be great for daily use as well as being reasonable to pull on over a suit jacket when I have to make winter trips to the college campus in New England where I work. I tried several, and once I had tried the Nuuk, everything else seemed like a compromise. Being American, I'm used to right-handed zippers, so the left-side / European zipper took a bit of getting accustomed, but I was past that in a couple of days, and now it's as easy as any other coat zipper I have. The coat itself is near perfect. Super comfortable, roomy but fits nicely and looks great. I love that I can pull it on over a T-shirt when it's 5 degrees F outside with wind chill well below that and be perfectly comfortable. SO many pockets, and all are very functional. Rain proof, wind proof, tough yet comfortably flexible fabric. Love the hood, and I've kept the fake fur ruff on as it traps warmth around the face. Love this coat and recommend it without hesitation.
