Särmä Windproof Parka

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.

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.

• Chest pockets hidden under yoke

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.

Made in China
