Men's Woolrich Elite Breathable WP Parka

I know my headline contradicts my rating but it truthfully wasn’t what I expected. First of all I have to say it seems to be durable and descent quality. But for the price I figured it would have some insulation. It has zero. It’s the equivalent of putting on a high quality garbage bag with a crap ton of pockets. If you are looking for a rain jacket with a lot of pockets (twelve in total) this is a jacket for you. I ordered this, because I work outside. It’s fall, I live in the north east , we get rain and very wet snow through winter. It would be fantastic if it were insulated. Also the sizes run a little big. So if you are on the smaller side of medium buy a small.

I use this Parka in town and out of town. You have no restrictions in your range of motion. It has a great look and the side chest pockets can be accessed while wearing a vest and that's a plus. Easy to get to your gun belt with the side openings and the double zipper gives good options on fastening the sides for your own tastes. Dirt and rain just roll right off. I could go on and on. Just a great piece of gear.

I do like the overall design, loose fit, and the extra pockets. Especially the magazine keepers in each of the side pockets, great. But the material is lighter than I expected and the girlscout size zippers need to be replcaed. Think about a guy in Afghanistan, 240 lbs guy, in the snow trying to unzip those little zippers with cold wet fingers. The thread size strings you attached are useless. Stop trying to cut costs and spend a little more cash and put big zippers in.

when I first tried the parka out I was very skeptical about the fabric and constuction but wearing it and day to day use has shown that woolrich makes very good products and combined with the tactial fleece makes for a very nice coat system

I use my jacket as discreet everyday wear on the job in the homicide section of a municipal police department. The size, style, comfort and well thought out practical aspects of this coat make it great for getting around while being able to conceal my kit. the hidden display flaps are a nice touch. Thanks

Used right out of the packaging for multiple days of winter mountaineering in temps ranging from +15F to -20F. Lots of venting options keep you dry while climbing and then buttoning everything up keeps out the wind and moisture when you stop. No issues with any aspect of this jacket - it's now part of my regular kit.
