ANTARCTIC PARKA
Best parka I've ever owned
This is an
excellent parka. It has lots of pockets, both inside and out. It has a two-way
zipper with a Velcro storm flap and a well-constructed hood. The sizing
recommended by Jerry was correct and the length extends below the hips which
really keeps you warm. Also, there’s a drawstring for a draft-proof closure.
The insulation is about the same thickness throughout which is a desirable
feature. The Ducksback material is a fabric that sheds water.
This is the type of parka I’ve always wanted. It is of high-quality and made
with great workmanship and it’s made in the USA. I waited for over two years
for this parka to become available and when it did, I didn’t hesitate in buying
it.
If you want a great, high-quality parka, buy this one now because they’ve
announced they will soon stop making it.

Robert thank you for the story, it is great for me to read.
We have a supply of the Ducksback material so it may last for a while. And yes, when it’s gone, I will not replace it.
Please note that Robert states the insulation, Lamilite is throughout the garment. It is all the L-12 thickness. Many companies that make outerwear garments use a thinner insulation in the sleeves so they drape better. Of course, the arms are now subject to getting cold which does happen.
For anyone who wants to order one of these parkas remember they are made to order and will take up to 4 weeks to make. We are going into a strong season so all orders have to be worked into production.
