are very warm. They are either waist length or up to the hip with attached hood. See
- http://parka.clothingbig.com Parkas can be made of synthetic materials and are
usually waterproof. Some coats can have insulation padding. Very cold weather
specially winter, when temperatures are at a sub zero level, demand heavy clothing
to keep the body warm. Parkas have been devised to keep the cold at bay. These are
long coats and come in sundry colours of olive, black, dark brown or dark grey.
Parkas are called anoraks in England.

Both men and women can have hooded s. The hood is essential to cover the head when
it is snowing or raining. There are a lot of reputable brands making parkas. Helly
Hansen parkas have light padding with straight and comfortable fit. It is made up of
a wind and water resistant nylon and cotton combination material, has two way zip,
comfortable pockets and a drawstring at the hem. This design is that of "Seattle ".

pockets with flaps, two huge flap pockets with Velcro closure, practical inside
pocket and drawstring. The lining is totally of polyester. Both the designs are high
on the durability quotient and are popular. There are other known brands too.

Parkas have their origin in Alaska and Canada. The tribal natives were the first to
introduce a parka to the world. The earliest s had fur and natural down as
insulating materials. They did not have the zip open or zip closed system, in fact
the earliest parkas did not have any zipper at all. The coat was simply pulled over
the head. There was a summer adaptation of that style. It came with a connected
skirt.

Commercial use of parkas first began in 1930s. Since then the parka had become more
and more popular as the years went by. Generally the coat is used by the residents
living in extreme cold conditions. It is also used by sportsmen or sportswomen. The
hood of the coat is necessary for beating the cold. The hood functions as a
windbreak that dulls the sensation of cold, and the fur provides insulation. The
huge pockets of a parka are used as storage compartment where goggles, dry food,
maps and other papers and tools can be stored. It is essential for all those who
work outdoors to have one in their wardrobe, not only to keep their body warm but
their mind as well.
