A parka is the ultimate winter jacket: long, warm and practical for everyday use in cold climates. With its extra length, a women's parka covers the hips and seat, providing more warmth than a shorter jacket. Many models also feature a fur-trimmed hood to shield the face from the wind.
At Jobb og Fritid you will find parkas in a range of styles – from modern, slim cuts to classic and functional designs. We stock brands all known for making robust winter jackets that can handle the climate of northern Norway.
Think about how warm the jacket needs to be. For a mild winter climate, a lightly insulated parka will often suffice, whereas for arctic conditions you should opt for one with down insulation or a thicker synthetic fill. Also make sure the jacket has a good hood, windproof cuffs and conveniently placed pockets for everyday use.
For conditions in northern Norway, layering is the smartest approach. Start with a base layer in wool or technical synthetic, add a mid layer for warmth, and finish with an outer layer that protects against the weather. With the right combination, you can adjust your temperature to suit your activity and conditions without changing your entire wardrobe.
A parka is a longer winter jacket that covers the hips and often features a hood and warm lining. It offers excellent protection against cold and wind, and works just as well for a trip into town as for cold days outdoors.
It varies. Many parkas are water-repellent and windproof with a warm lining, while some feature a waterproof membrane – check the product specifications if you need full weather protection.
The brands include Didriksons, Arc'teryx and Fjällräven.
