Our Verdict
The Patagonia Women's Downdrift Parka combines timeless design with cutting-edge sustainability, offering a warm and stylish option for cold-weather adventures and urban exploration.
This above-the-knee parka is constructed with NetPlus® fabric, made from recycled fishing nets. This fabric addresses ocean plastic pollution while providing durability and weather resistance. The 600-fill-power recycled down insulation ensures excellent warmth without excessive weight.
Key features include a removable, insulated hood with hidden adjustments, a full-length, two-way zipper with a protective placket, and versatile double-entry front pockets. The internal zippered chest pocket secures valuables.
Weighing 1121g for a medium, it's a substantial piece, but the warmth and coverage justify the weight for cold-weather use. The Fair Trade Certified™ construction aligns with Patagonia's commitment to ethical practices.
