What is the Therme Parka?
The Therme Parka is the perfect answer for anyone who's looking for a jacket that's warm and waterproof but doesn't want to wear their 'on the mountain' jacket every day. It combines a Gore-Tex lining with internal baffles full of gorgeous European Goose down to give you a jacket that not only looks and feels great but is also a brilliant barrier against the elements.
What is it made of?
Insulation: The layer closest to your body is numerous baffles filled with 93g (size M) of 750FP European Goose Down to keep you warm and comfortable on the coldest days. All down is audited by RDS (responsible down standard) to ensure the down is collected ethically. On top of that, sandwiched between the down and the face fabric is a layer of Coreloft (which is also used as the only insulation in the hood and the storm collar, meaning that even if they get wet on the inside, like when you're struggling to get your hood up in a downpour, the baffles will still keep your head warm and won't compress). This double layer of insulation is called Down Contour Composite which helps the down to maintain maximum loft and protects the down from any condensation that may form inside the jacket. The result is a highly efficient system with excellent moisture management.
Fabrics: Surrounding all of this luxurious insulation is a 2L Gore-Tex membrane — this provides total waterproof and windproof protection whilst maintaining high levels of breathability. Layered on top of the Gore-Tex membrane is a tough yet soft and pliable 75D polyester; this also features a durable water repellent coating for added weather protection.
What are the Therme's features?
The jacket features drawcords in the sides and rear of the hood and internal wrist cuff gaskets to further aid in sealing out the elements when the weather is at its worst. Along with that, the jacket also has two generous insulated hand pockets, an outer chest pocket and an internal pocket for extra storage. The two-way centre front zipper means you can undo it from the bottom when you're sat down for coffee or in the car.
How does it fit?
The Therme has enough room for additional layers and is designed to offer comfort and freedom of movement more than absolute performance. It features a mid-thigh length and a fairly straight fit throughout the body. Despite this, it's by no means baggy and looks well-fitted when you're wearing it.
