Thickly padded for ultimate warmth, the Marco Parka 3 from Didriksons is a fully waterproof and windproof jacket. The synthetic fur trim on the hood is detachable and the hood itself is fixed but 2-way adjustable and can be adjusted with one hand. The parka also features a chin guard and buttoned storm flap that protects a 2-way zipper closing, keeping the rain out.
This parka offers numerous pocket options: two zipped chest pockets and two buttoned front pockets, all with two access points. Also included is an inner mesh pocket to store your essential items securely. The waist and cuffs can be adjusted too, to achieve the best fit for you as well as the most protected from the elements.
The inner lining of the parka has been dyed using Solution Dye - a dyeing technique that saves up to 80% water compared to the more conventionally dyed polyester/polyamide fabrics. Combined with this, the parka has a PFC-free DWR, meaning this jacket is not only protecting you from the wind and rain but also protects the planet.

The Didriksons Men's Marco Parka 3 - Black has the following sustainability attributes...
Fluorinated DWR finishes make clothing waterproof by repelling water droplets. ‘PFCs’ is the broad term for all fluorocarbon chemicals, of which PFOS and PFOA are sub-groups. Different chemicals in this family have a varying number of carbon atoms, so C6 has six carbon atoms and C8 has eight. While the outdoor industry has moved away from C8 (or 'long chain') PFCs, C6 (short chain) PFCs are currently unbeatable in their waterproofing performance. They're considered less harmful to the environment than C8, but they have not been proven to be safe. PFCs are known as forever chemicals; once created they will never break down and are harmful to people and the planet. To read more about the chemistry related to PFCs, head here.
PFC-Free DWR uses alternative, biodegradable technologies that repels water from the surface of a fabric - such as Fjallraven's Greenland Wax. PFC-Free DWR coatings are water resistant enough for most daily activities, so if you don’t need a highly technical waterproof, consider a PFC-Free garment instead.
By recycling fabrics, we are not only stopping extra waste heading to landfill but also reducing the need for virgin fabrics to be created. Recycled fabrics can be anything from recycled polyester to recycled cotton and where recycled cotton is used, it's often offcuts from factory floors that would otherwise end up in landfill.
