Arc'teryx - Patera Parka Women's - Arbour

Clean, elegant city parka with the warmth of down and weather protection of GORE-TEX.

Does not look like a city coat to me. It is like a long ski jacket. Even the model is wearing outdoor pants and a beanie like she is downtown in Whistler not New York.

I have one of these. Please do not waste your money. It’s quality but way too expensive even for the tech. I’ve been wearing it at temperature of 0 to minus 3c with merino base layer and then a merino mid layer then a thin gilet then this coat. I am not keeping warm in it. I am wearing insulated trousers and merino socks too. Further, the materials seem far too delicate. No way I’d trust this to stand up to trekking. The only use it will likely get now is when I may need to go to town and look a little smart. I have a rather old Aigle (more than ten years old) coat that is mainly feather rather than down. When it gets wet it drys out quickly. I work outside 50% of the day. This coat has never ripped when caught on tools etc, been stolen by the dogs and a horse ran off with it once too. This coat would likely be destroyed if a dog jumped up at me let alone the wear of trekking or working...
