With its cutting-edge and sustainable construction, this Women’s Latitude Parka is perfect for chilly hikes or walks with the dog. Its 2-layer stretch waterproof outer fabric is treated with a PFC-free durable water repellent to further protect from moisture and dirt and paired with the Dupont™ Sorona® insulation, it’s a force to be reckoned with against the elements! And what’s more, Sorona® insulation partially contains renewable plant-based fibres that not only insulates fantastically but also uses less energy and releases less gas emissions to produce compared to other materials. Sorona® also showcases great compression qualities, making it easily packable so you can stow the parka away when the weather warms up.
The parka features a large hood with a deep collar, perfect for sheltering from windy spells and the 2-way front zip has an internal storm guard to protect further against the wind and rain. Two zippered hand pockets and an internal zippered pocket provide plenty of space to stash your phone, keys or whatever you’ll need for your winter walks.

The North Ridge Women's Latitude Parka - 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.
