Our Verdict
This reversible parka seamlessly transitions from trail to town, making it an excellent choice for those who value adaptability in their gear.
Insulated with 650 fill-power down, the Colorado Parka provides impressive warmth for its weight. The innovative design features a woven baffle construction on one side for enhanced downproofing and a softer feel, while the reverse side offers increased wind resistance.
Key features include a 2-way adjustable hood for customised fit and visibility, multiple pockets for convenience, and a pocket hem adjuster to seal cold air. The anti-static treatment adds to overall comfort, especially in dry conditions.
Weighing just 606g for a medium, it's a reasonably lightweight option for the warmth it provides. The water-repellent finish on the outer fabric adds a layer of weather protection, though it's not designed for heavy precipitation.
