Charles River Women’s Journey Parka (5762) Overview

The history of the parka, an iconic piece of outerwear designed to protect the wearer against wind and wet, has an interesting origin. Originally an outercoat constructed from caribou by the Inuit to help keep them warm and dry while engaging in the work of survival, such as hunting, kayaking, and building, the parka was a heavily lined (fur) coat with a hood. The parkas were usually coated with fish oil, or other animal oil, as a water-resistant feature.

The Charles River Women’s Journey Parka is a sleekly designed and stylish outerwear constructed of materials that keep you incredibly warm in very cold temperatures. Constructed of 100% polyester exteriorly, and 100% nylon lining quilted to 3M™ Thinsulate insulation interiorly for the ultimate in warmth and wet protection. Its somewhat hour-glass design conforms nicely to the female figure for a feminine silhouette. The construction design and superior warmth, wind, and wet protecting materials ensure a durable and long-lasting parka to protect you from the cold, wind, and wet that winter season is assuredly to unleash.

Charles River’s ability to custom design almost any decoration feature to this parka with its Stow-Away system, makes it an extremely popular and functional piece of outerwear with organizations, teams and other entities that are based in cold weather settings, while displaying your organizations logo with broad exposure and projecting a unity and sense of belonging of members.
