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.
