The North Face solves an important problem with its Arctic Down Parka. Down offers the best warmth for the weight-if it stays dry. But most down parkas are not waterproof, putting that down at risk-and us at risk-in cold and wet conditions. Lucky for us, the Arctic Down Parka keeps us toasty with 600-fill down that's protected by a 2-layer waterproof membrane that keeps out rain, sleet, ice, and snow. The parka also places moisture-tolerant synthetic insulation in high-moisture areas to provide a winter outer layer that maintains its loft and insulating capabilities in both wet and dry conditions. Both warm and waterproof, the women's Arctic Parka keeps us toasty in the dead of winter while protecting our investment in a down coat, so we can wear it through many seasons of damp and snowy weather.
