The foul weather parka is
water resistant and windproof
for the most severe weather.
The foul weather parka is the
ideal parka for wet and windy
weather conditions. Wet
weather parkas are ideal for
camping, fishing, boating,
fall wear, skiing, winter
wear, and much more. Foul
weather parkas are a good
choice for many activities,
depending on the type of
movement the activity requires
and the amount of rain that
might be expected during a
given trip. For most
activities that involve
standing in an upright
position, such as hiking or
backpacking, the foul weather
parka works fine; as long as
it extends well below the
waistline to help keep your
pants dry. With the addition
of waterproof rain pants, a
foul weather parka can keep
you totally dry, and the pants
and foul weather parka can be
worn over layers of other
clothing in cold rainy
weather. In such cold
conditions, a good all weather
parka and rain pants might be
the best choice as the
combination will help hold in
your body heat.
