Hi.Right ! Whats the point of have a lovely hooded parka and not
wearing the hood up? Enjoy yourself wear the hood up all the
time,keep the sun off ! Skin cancer is a killer. So wear your hood up!

Bonjour, je savais pas que vous parliez français, comme je vous le disais, j'adore perter de grosses vestes en duvet de style doudoune de haute montagne, je possède 4 grosses doudounes d'expedition et 3 ou 4 parkas ou vestes de montagne type goretex...

J'ai la chance de pratiquer cette activitée et c'est un réel plaisir de s'emmitoufler dans ces vêtements, je suis fan de duvet d'oie de qualité, et c'est un réel plaisir quant il fait très froid ou quant il y a du vent de porter ces vêtements....il y à souvent de grosses capuches et quant tout est fermé seul les yeux dépassent....

D'autre part j'adore aussi me ballader en bord de mer lors de fortes tempêtes et j'aime particulierement porter un type de ciré marin de la marque française cotten, les modeles rosbraz, ils ont une grande capuche fixe très technique avec visière assez longue et rigide et marcher dans le vent avec ça, c'est le pied!

Tout particulièrement quant le vent est tellement fort qu'il est pratiquement impossible de marcher contre...je sents tout le ciré claquer dans les raffales, la capuche se gonfler, siffler, la visière se tendre...je suis obligé de fermer à fond la capuche pour qu'elle ne soit pas arracher par le vent, a partir de 130 km/h il est pratiquement impossible de tenir debout et j'adore ça.

Et puis il y a la beauté du spectacle, la mer, les embruns qui volent, on se sent tout petit devant les éléments !!!

J'aime dans ces conditions le coté violent, et la protection que me procure ces vêtements dans ces conditions.

Voilà je voulais vous faire partager un peu de mes passions.... 

i would like to invite everyone to my groups

I just bought a thick dkny down parka, bought a big coyote fur trim
and it looks great on the hood!

Tres interessant, même si je suis plutôt col roulé et
parka. Se ballader en pleine tempête ainsi y a rien de
tel...

Hi all. I'm new to this group. I was glad to watch that vid that
Dominic posted on this group. I'm also glad to see the Dominic is
still about. I've not seen him for a long time. I wondered what had
happened to him.

Dear Fashion Parkas,Thanks for your nice sites.
I have visited your Parkapages site recently and was sorry to see the
parka design and discussion boards not available.Can they be restored
or am I just having problems with my computer ?
I just love to wear parkas with furry hoods.Put your hood up and keep
it up!

Hi,
just added a 10min (Real Player) movie to the Files section -
"dressing in down". I t shows me adding layers of down clothing
including - face mask, thermal jacket, ski bibs, vest, parka, TNF
himalayan down suit, gloves and down mitts.

Hope you enjoy -

Dominic

Dear Fashionparkas
I am a female student in London and always wear hood.I do not show
more than my eyes.I have two snorkel parkas.I buy them much larger
than I need.I wear them with the snorkel hood fully done up.
It annoys me to see women with lovely hooded coats who do not wear
the hoods up.

Have to agree on the North Face Himalayan (old style) hood. What I
hate is the two thin strips of velcro that have to be lined up to
close the hood - it's awkward and leaves no chance of adjusting the
hood for a snug fit. If the hood cords are tightened too much the
hood just rides up to block your view (and freeze your neck) At least
the new Himalayan suit and Baltoro jacket have hoods that are more
fully integrated and can be zipped up 'to the nose' if needed (Nice!).

RAB Parka jackets have hoods that are so small that you will need a
good mask to keep your face warm. If your head is larger than 'small'
you'd be better looking elsewhere. It's a shame since the
quality/price of RAB is good

Best hood on a jacket or suit? Any suggestions?

I don't know if you have visited the "design a parka" page on my
"Parka Pages" website -

anyway, lets get some messages moving in this group, by
starting a discussion on what you don't like on some parkas.

1] North Face Himalayan Suit / Parka (older style) - There is a
very poor overlap between the bottom of the hood and the collar,
so that if you lift your head, you freeze your neck.

2] Polo Sport / Ralph Lauren Down parkas - I have a silver one
and have tried a black 2002 model on in store, the press studs
on 3 parkas in the store fell off (2 on one parka) and one off on
my own - they were not crimped properly.

What problems have you found?

Regards
Dominic

Hello!!

I have started a group called " the love of long downcoats".
I have a fetish for soft and silky long downcoats. I have uploaded
some images, so come and join me for some downcoat fun.

Hello
I have tentatively started a new group, called down jackets. It
should be listed in the fashion directory or I think you can access
it at downjacket-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. Alternatively you can e-
mail me at scottmannion2000@....
The idea of the group is to compliment the parka pages with pictures
of shiny down jackets and suits. No nudity or street shots and we'll
see what develops.

have pictures of some of them. i have Moncler, Diesel, Ralph Lauren,
Helly Hensen, and North Face amongst others.

Duvetjacket.

I love this parka and wear it when ever I can with the hood up.Some
nice pics on this site.Have seen Parka Pages site.The design
portfolio needs up dating,otherwise very good.

This is my own site with photos and information on 100"s of
parkas - especially expedition and cold weather gear. Visit it at

Welcome to this group, currently I am uploading my own images
and should have this done in a few days. I am seperating my
own images into two files, one with parkas whose brand names
/ manufacturer I know and the other for the unknowns. Once
done I will approve any pending memberships. I hope you enjoy
this group.
