Winter is approaching, and it's time to prepare by choosing the perfect men's parka to face the cold in style and comfort. We're all looking for the perfect parka for everyday use in the city or for more extreme adventures, and there are plenty of choices in men's collections.
From models like the short waterproof hallway parka to the waterproof halftime parka, including more technical designs like the expedition parka or the V2 model from VEST PARIS, finding the perfect parka depends on several criteria: waterproofness, warmth, style and practicality.
Waterproofness: an essential criterion for humans
When looking for a men's parka, one of the essential criteria is waterproofing. In winter, rain, snow, and wind are everyday elements that you have to deal with. That's why it's important to choose a parka with good weather protection.
Models like the Halftime Waterproof Parka and the Short Hallway Waterproof Parka are designed with technical fabrics to keep you dry while remaining breathable. The Laminar Parka is another excellent choice for those looking for a high-performance model, thanks in part to its synthetic fabric lining and adjustable hood.
The membrane, a condition for perfect waterproofing
To achieve total waterproofing, a parka like the V2 model from VEST PARIS must be equipped with a membrane, which works like this. This ultra-thin layer is bonded to the outer material to make it waterproof while allowing moisture from the inside to escape. This technology is based on materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyurethane (PU).
Style: Finding the right balance between elegance and functionality
This winter's men's parka collection offers a wide range of styles to suit every occasion. If you're looking for an elegant and understated look, styles like the resort jacket or the cashmere jacket add a touch of refinement while keeping you warm. The ponente parka , on the other hand, perfectly combines elegance with a contemporary design, ideal for urban living.
For those who prefer a more casual look, the denim jacket or the resort parka are interesting options, combining comfort and style. The navy hood , often found on parkas, adds extra protection while bringing a fashionable touch. In terms of color , we often find classic tones like black, navy or even more natural shades that easily match any outfit.
Practicality: choose a functional parka that suits your needs
Parkas are known for their practicality, with numerous pockets and protective hoods. The V2 model from VEST PARIS is probably the most practical and functional jacket on the market. It is available in sizes well over XXXL.
Other models, such as the Expedition Multi-Pocket Parka or the Wood Multi-Pocket Parka, offer multiple compartments to securely store your personal belongings. This is particularly useful for those looking to travel light and keep everything within easy reach.
Some models, such as the Keystone Parka , also feature removable hoods, ideal for adapting to changing conditions. Other parkas, such as the Fog Wool , are lined with thermoregulating materials, ensuring maximum insulation even in the most extreme conditions.
Size and fit: choosing the right fit
Choosing the right size is essential for comfort and style. If you plan to layer several pieces under your parka, be sure to choose a slightly larger size. Styles like the navy hooded parka or the scuba wool are designed to be worn with thick layers, while still offering a fitted and modern silhouette. If you're unsure about the size, don't hesitate to consult the size guides available on retail sites.
Heat: Staying warm while remaining light
There are three ways to insulate parkas. Either with natural down, synthetic wadding, or a heating system. At VEST PARIS, we use so-called "synthetic fabric lining" wadding for its practicality and performance, as down is more fragile. The heating system is more restrictive because it requires charging times and sometimes a "gimmicky" installation.
All these materials are used, whether in an urban parka or an expedition parka.
Quality of materials: opt for technical fabrics
Finally, the quality of the materials is a determining factor in choosing your men's parka for this winter. Rainwear , for example, must be made with waterproof and breathable fabrics to guarantee protection against the rain while preventing moisture from accumulating inside.
Materials such as cashmere or wool, used in models such as the jacket in cashmere or the fog wool , not only provide warmth, but also unparalleled comfort.
Conclusion
Whether you're looking for a technical parka like the Halftime Waterproof Parka or a more stylish model like the Resort Parka , it's essential to choose a model that combines style, comfort, and functionality. This winter, consider choosing a parka that meets your daily needs, whether it's staying dry in the rain or protecting you from freezing temperatures.
