Parkas and jackets are similar garments that keep you warm in adverse weather conditions. However, distinct features distinguish them, including insulation, length, and usage in varied climate conditions.
Parka jackets are longer to protect you from the wind and snow in harsh weather, while regular jackets are generally shorter, cover a lesser body area, are lighter, and are more appropriate for moderate temperature conditions.
Parka's insulation technology mitigates winter, although this causes them to be heavier compared to the flexibility jackets provide.
We recommend parkas in areas experiencing freezing temperatures, but not for formal wear. The regular jacket's flexibility allows you to utilize it for daily wear and formal settings.
