Finally a Windproof Parka for women! To fully appreciate this you should know what a Windproof Smock is, but in a nutshell, it's a versatile, lightweight, and comfortable outdoor jacket that breathes well and still protects you from the occasional rain shower: the jacket you first think about when planning on going outside.
This product is discontinued as part of our Project MEGA. We will not replenish it. If you want this product, it is time to hit that add-to-cart button.
- Unlined, windproof parka jacket cut for ladies
- Designed to be practical
- 65/35 % polycotton windproof fabric
- If you want room for clothing underneath, pick one size larger jacket than your usual size.
Based on a military classic
Copied almost directly from the British army article, the original Särmä Windproof Smock has a very loose cut for reasons. A lot of women found the jacket to be desirable in principle but the fit didn't work for them, so we took measures to help: the Windproof Parka is narrower at the shoulders, has smaller sleeves, and a roomy bottom. Those are the important changes, but a lot of smaller details have been reworked as well.
Features
- Sleeve pocket with velcro base
- Chest pockets hidden under yoke
- Roomy front pockets with flap closure
- Handwarming pockets with fleece lining and softshell lining
- Two-way YKK zipper with stormflap and snap-fasteners
- Zippered underarm vents
- High collar and deep hood
- Elastic drawcord adjustment hidden at the waist
- Brown pleather zipper pullers and cord sliders
Material and care
65/35 % polycotton. Some color may transfer from the product before the first wash. Wash at 40 degrees Celsius. PU coated for windproofing. The whole package breathes still very well.
The Särmä Windproof fabric responds well to treatment with Särmä Fabric Wax or Woly Protector spray. A thorough impregnation with wax makes the garment waterproof. Apply as necessary!
Size info
We have listed first the easy size, then the standard ladies' EU size. In the brackets, you'll find a recommended bust size. Lengthwise, these are designed for 160-170 cm tall people, i.e. standard European women's height size.
The cut is intended for casual use in spring and fall, i.e. not very much room for warm underlayers. If you want more allowance for thick clothes, pick one size up. Note that the newer versions are cut roomier.
Model Update 2022
The latest Windproof Parkas are updated to recycled polyester and organic cotton materials and have lengthier underarm zippers and a roomier cut. The retiring versions are clearly marked in the selection menu and the new versions are phased in size by size.
Also for men
Despite being designed primarily for female users, the jacket suits most male figures well too.
The sizes are smaller than men's usual ones. We recommend measuring your chest, adding 15-25 cm for looseness, and comparing it to the chart below. For example, a Medium-sized man will likely wear a Windproof Parka in Large or X-Large.
The following chart has measurements of the garment itself:

New measurements
Once again: the measurements on the chart above are taken from the garment itself, they are not user's recommended measurements.

Tehkää tästä miesten malli samoissa väreissä seuraavilla muutoksilla, niin ostan heti:
- hartioihin lisää tilaa
- reilusti pidemmät hihat
- kapeampi, ainakin helmasta
- isompi hihatasku (kännykkä ei mahtunut)
- vetoketjua peittävä tuulilista toisin päin
Huppu on aika karun mallinen, mutta ehkä se on kustannuskysymys. Yllättävän hyvä kuitenkin tuollaisenaankin.
