Columbia Blade Run Parka - Men's
April 1, 2009
I have to order a parka for a trip this summer to theNorth Cascades National Park, They told us to order a PARKA , however i am having trouble with what a parka really is. I live in Florida, so it is kinda difficult to just go to the store for one. Does this jacket fall under the qualifications of "parka". I need this piece of gear to be right because im going to be up there for 9 days. And they asked for the parka to be either "down" or " synthetic".... does this qualify as synthetic, if not, then what is??
Thanks So much.!!!
