Citilicious 2 Down Parka - Women's

It can be a challenge to find a warm winter coat that doesn't make you look like a marshmallow on steroids or an androgynous, puffy blob. Thankfully the Mountain Hardwear Women's Citilicious 2 Down Parka solves both your fashion and weather challenges at once. This slyly stylish jacket combines feminine lines and 650-fill down for urban appeal when the weather turns wintry.

Down remains the gold standard of insulation, offering more warmth per unit of weight than even your bizarrely warm cat named Shivers. The feathers and plumules interweave, creating a network of fibers that traps air within the structure. The trapped air keeps your body heat in and cold air out so you stay toasty warm without carrying the weight of several geese on your back. Narrow insulation channels prevent the down from bunching up, as well as accentuate your feminine lines. Sophisticated back darts hold in the down in place and highlight your trim waist so no one mistakes you for a dude.

Two fleece-lined hand-warmer pockets offer extra protection against the cold when you're wearing thin gloves, or the pockets just cuddle your hands when you've left your mittens at home. The fleece-lined chin guard prevents chin chafing from a cold metal zipper, and soft Butter Jersey cuffs mean your wrists won't rub against chilly outer fabric. If you need windproof protection, zip this parka into the Citilicious shell and go about your business. Whether you're off to the office for the day, walking your dog in the dead of December, or meeting your gal pals for drinks, stay warm and look good in the Citilicious 2 parka.
