Huron Men's parka

Been waiting a very long time to get this coat. So happy I have it and satisfied with it. Although I live in NYC with an average winter climate, on those colder days I know I have what I need. I no longer need to layer up, and I have comfort with one coat.

I was shopping for a well made, high loft down parka. One with “real fur” trim!

My new parka from Triple F.A.T. DOWN met all my basic requirements. And more!

I admit that I was skeptical about the use of “magnetic snaps”. To my pleasant surprise, after using them, I have become quite fond of the magnets.

I do love the Triple F.A.T. parka that I purchased. I admit that now I kind of wish that I had chosen the longer length model of offered in your parka selection. The longer coat would have given my skinny old butt a bit more wind protection. It is not a big problem though. With insulated snow pants, I’ll keep my bottom warm and easily live with that issue.

I do have one small suggestion for a minor improvement in your parka designe. Regarding the “hook-and-loop” fastener at the neck/caller of the hood. I do like the ease and effectiveness of “hook-and-loop” fasteners. But, I have found that when not in use, and exposed the ”hook” side attracts all manner of fuzz, string, hair, and any manner of loose crap that might float about. I have found that the unused hooks eventually become clogged and less functional. (Not to mention somewhat “unsightly”)

A simple solution that I have noticed used by some manufacturers solves this annoyance. They have installed a second small additional piece of “loops”. On “hook” side of the opening. Just close enough to the “hooks” so that the when un-used, the “hooks” can be turned back and fastened out of harm’s way.

That simple solution does keep the “hooks” clean and ready for their next use. I would like that convince on my otherwise wonderful new parka.

Thanks for listening,

It can drop to 10*F - 20*F in Boston, and the Huron keeps me very warm during those days. I took it with me to Killington, VT during a weekend trip and it was the perfect jacket to have throughout the day and kept me warm during the nights out. I’m a slim guy, 6’1” and the medium fits well. The magnets are a really nice touch. Overall, a really good investment if you live in a colder area!

I'm 6'1", and 170 lbs; slim. It fits me great, I don't feel like a Michelin Man. They made a big puffy feel, into a compact and smart size. The outside is matte finish, and all the material is fine and rich. .The jacket has magnet closing for the outer flaps, which was an unknown major plus for me. Now, I want a all my jackets to have magnets. It makes it so much easier to hang and close, and put away.

I would hope the zipper was a little more zippier in connecting with itself. It is extremely difficult to zip up the coat. Hopefully the warranty covers the possible failure of the zipper. Otherwise the Huron is a great coat for the cold days ahead in New York.
