parkas

Heavy winter jackets

Parkas are heavy hooded jackets designed for cold weather, typically insulated and extending to mid-thigh or below.

The hood often has a fur or faux-fur trim to protect the face from wind and snow.

Originally worn by Arctic indigenous peoples, parkas have become standard winter outerwear: She bundled up in her parka before heading out into the blizzard.
