One of the softest down coats Patagonia's ever made, the Silent Down Long Parka's polyester shell is smooth and comfortable to the touch, with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to shed snow and other light winter precipitation. On the inside it's packed with 700-fill recycled down for breathable and lightweight warmth in harsh winter conditions. Its more-extended parka length is perfect for city commuters who don't want to wear three pairs of leggings to keep their legs warm. We also love that it's got a stowaway hood that you can fold into the collar on clear days and easily zip out to wear when the forecast proves false.
