The Patera Parka Women’s by Arc’teryx is designed to keep you comfortable and protected when temperatures drop and rain moves in. It’s a slim-fitting, insulated shell that balances weatherproof performance with everyday wearability for urban excursions or light backcountry days.
The outer layer is built with 2-layer Gore-Tex and an FC0 DWR finish on 100% recycled nylon, blocking wind and rain while allowing moisture vapor to escape. Inside, 750-fill European goose down teams up with Coreloft™ synthetic insulation (60 g/m² and 80 g/m² panels made from 80% recycled polyester) to maintain warmth even if conditions get damp. The slim cut trims away excess bulk, making it easier to layer and move freely, and the Fair Trade Certified, Bluesign®, RDS and recycled-nylon credentials reflect a focus on responsible sourcing.
Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable membrane laminated between two fabric layers, so you stay dry without feeling clammy. The 750-fill power rating indicates the loft one ounce of down provides—higher numbers mean better warmth-to-weight efficiency. FC0 DWR is a durable water repellent treatment applied without perfluorocarbons, helping water bead up and roll off the surface while reducing environmental impact.
