First created in 1972 for workers on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, the Arctic Parka is now recognized as an outerwear icon. Based on the original design, this version is made with Brewed Protein™ fibers, an innovative protein-based material designed and produced by Spiber Inc. It's bio-derived, biodegradable, and has a low carbon footprint. A waterproof, windproof and breathable fabric perfect in providing you with protection from the elements. Thanks to the use of recycled down Made in Japan for insulation, the Arctic Parka has evolved into a more sustainable product. Maintaining the same fit as the classic one, it features two upper handwarmer pockets and two lower pockets with flaps and buttons. All pockets are lined with polar fleece for extra warmth. It features an adjustable hood with a drawstring and a visor for enhanced protection against wind and rain. The parka closes with a two-way zipper and buttons and has an internal drawstring at the waist for a customized fit. Staying true to the classic model, it includes two internal pockets with Velcro closures.
