Downdrift Parka - Boys'

After a foot of freshly fallen snow cancels school for the day, we bundle our buddy in the Downdrift Parka and get started on our at-home lessons. While we're teaching them to craft the perfect snowball, the rugged nylon shell and its water-repellent treatment keep falling flakes in their arsenal rather than on their sweater. Reclaimed duck and goose down from other well-loved jackets wraps them in a blanket of warmth while they craft artsy snow angles. A spacious fit leaves lots of room for bulky layers, and the massive pockets keep their gloves, hat, and scarf close when we're taking a cocoa break.
