Introducing the best products from the hottest brands of mountain parkas that can be used realistically in the “mountains” and in the “city!

Mountain parkas are useful not only for mountain climbing, but also for spending a comfortable life in the city, which can be surprisingly stressful due to sudden rain, extreme temperature differences between indoors and outdoors, and strong building winds. In this issue, we will focus on the best models from popular mountain parka brands that are both functional and fashionable and can be used in real life from the mountains to the city.

From mountain climbers to city boys. The “mountain parka” is the ironclad outerwear of fall and winter, loved by everyone.

As the name suggests, the mountain parka is a hooded jacket equipped with all kinds of functions such as water repellency, wind resistance, and stretch for use in mountain climbing. Designed to be comfortable even in harsh environments, the mountain parka provides comfort not only in the mountains but also in the city, and the need for town use is increasing year by year. In the past few years, outdoor brands have developed mountain parkas with a high level of design that are designed for use not only in the mountains but also as town wear. Mountain parkas go well with the latest sports mix outfits and can be worn comfortably in the spring and fall seasons, when temperatures vary greatly from day to night.

Selected mountain parkas that are both “fashionable” and “functional” for those who mainly wear them in town!

Mountain parkas come in a wide variety of types, from full-fledged specs designed for use in mountain climbing in harsh environments to fashion-oriented outerwear with low functionality that only uses the mountain parka mold. Furthermore, if we look into the originators of the mountain parka, we find a retro-looking mountain parka with patch pockets made of “60/40 cloth,” a cotton and polyester material released by Sierra Design in 1968, Today, however, I feel that many people associate mountain parkas with futuristic designs using waterproof materials such as GORE-TEX™.

As described above, the best mountain parka differs depending on whether you choose a “traditional type,” a “futuristic look that pursues functionality,” or a “fashionable design that is easy for town use,” which I think is both the difficulty and the fun of choosing a mountain parka. In this context, we would like to introduce mountain parkas that are both “fashionable” and “functional” for those who are considering mainly city use. These models are not only fashionable and comfortable for city wear, but also have functional specs that can be used for light mountain climbing.

If you’re looking for functionality, you’ll want to go for a fully waterproof mountain parka, but if you’re mainly using it for town use, you’ll want to use water repellent and water-resistant materials such as GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ garment, 60/40 cloth and high density nylon. If your main use is town use, a mountain parka made of water-repellent and water-resistant materials such as GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ garment, 60/40 cloth, or high-density nylon will be sufficient for a comfortable stay. If you want strong water repellency, we recommend applying a waterproof spray for fabrics to add a self-adhesive water repellency function. If the solvent and fabric are incompatible, there is a risk of staining, so be careful when purchasing a waterproofing spray to make sure it is compatible with the material of your mountain parka before use.

For those looking for a more edgy mountain parka, CCP, a Japanese brand that offers a wide variety of functional clothing focused on cycling, and GOLD WIN’s 3L JACKET from the collection REGENERATIVE CIRCLE, which uses new materials, are also I would like to recommend them. Personally, I have the impression that Korean brands also offer many unique mountain parkas, and I think that POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF ) and side service have an appeal that will appeal to the sensibilities of those who like futuristic designs such as ACRONIUM!
