Tres Down 3-in-1 Parka - Women's

You've given up the American dream in pursuit of French pleasures. In preparing to relocate to the City of Lights, you realize you need a new coat or three for two real reasons. First, your arctic-rated parka is overkill and two, space is at a premium. The Patagonia Women's Tres Parka solves your outerwear woes. This 3-in-1 hat trick of a jacket keeps you warm, keeps you dry, and keeps you warm and dry, depending on how you put it together. And, with only "one" jacket in your closet, you'll have room left over for your carefully curated collection of feather boas.

The waterproof and breathable shell uses H2No technology to keep you dry, both inside and out. This waterproof trench keeps you nice and dry, because Paris (and many other cold-weather cities) can be wet. The hood snaps on when a drizzle turns to a deluge and you've again forgotten your umbrella at the corner cafe. The inner liner is a thigh-high, trim-fit puffy coat stuffed with 600-fill Traceable duck down for a warm feeling in your heart and on your body without any added weight. Traceable Down guarantees the feathers came from humanely treated duck, meaning they were neither force-fed nor live-plucked.

On the rare occasion it's both cold and wet, combine the two coats for unbeatable weather protection with a hit of heat. The slim fit means even when you have the full monty on, you maintain your svelte silhouette without having to suffer the consequences of the weather.
