Should we reiterate that the parka is originally a military garment that was slipped over combat gear to protect against bad weather? Aigle takes these codes up to the “ fishtail ” cut in W at the back, and gives it all its technique: insulation and waterproofing while remaining warm and breathable. In short: the best ally of the chilly.
