Also known as a “Snorkel Parka” because of the synthetic fur-trimmed hood that zips up tight to minimize frostbite exposure. Combined with wind-blocking extra-long cut and channel quilted lining, this is a proven winner in extreme cold weather

This parka was originally developed for the Air Force in the 1950’s for service members stationed at the most isolated polar research outposts. These Airmen were combating fierce chills, biting wind, and soul-sapping darkness.
