What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve worn this on damp, chilly mornings, and it punches above its weight for warmth. The synthetic insulation holds up well in wet conditions, and the longer cut adds coverage without feeling heavy. It’s a dependable grab-and-go layer for casual winter use."We designed the Venture Insulated Parka for the moments when cold air and mist settle in, but we still need the day to move smoothly. The mid-length cut brings welcome coverage for walks across town or quick errands outdoors, while the rugged ripstop face fabric and DWR finish resist the moisture and grit that come with shoulder-season weather. Synthetic insulation keeps us warm whether the conditions stay dry or the drizzle starts to build. Inside, the smooth lining layers easily over sweaters or base layers, making the parka an uncomplicated piece to throw on as temperatures dip. The fixed hood and elasticized opening add wind protection without the fuss of extra adjustments, and the hand pockets give us a warm place to tuck our fingers when the air turns sharp. For everyday comfort on cold, unsettled days, this simple, durable design stays ready by the door.
