Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Camosun Parka

Beautiful color. Nice looking jacket. However, I thought it was a ski jacket and it is really more of an all purpose cold weather jacket. No interior pockets which does not suit downhill ski use.

Pros: For the weight and trim of the coat, I was extremely suprised with the craftsmanship and ability to keep myself protected against the elements in NYC. It does a great job against rain, snow, and wind. It's pretty amazing how they can do this with such lightweight material. I was really amazed as I was second guessing my purchase after seeing how thick the coat was. After having is for over a few months, it's all good!!!! I've had Northface and Woolrich Parka's which make me look like an eskimo. I chose this over a Norrona jacket due to the style and cut. I get the fitted look I want without compromising warmth. The hood seems a little too large, but it's not a deal breaker. Cons: Not enough pockets. If it's an urban jacket, there should be more jackets. I would be willing to sacrifice some weight for some more pockets. Double Zipper...for the length and cost of this coat, it should be there. There are many people asking for this, so I hope it appears in the next coat. I probably won't buy it as this coat is built to last, but continue your traditional way of making things better!!! Wish List: More pockets!!! I can't stuff my phone, wallet, keys in my inside pocket my outside pockets have my gloves. Even one more inside coat pocket would make a huge difference. Headphone cord holder like NorthFace Gotham. I'm reaching, but hey! Other than that, this parka is probably the best I've had. I'm really amazed at the technology it uses. How can a coat that is so thin keep you so warm and protected from the elements? Pretty cool stuff. That's all I can say. - Q from NYC

This is my second Winter coat from Arcteryx, purchased mainly because I just wanted to be able to wear a second Winter coat from Arcteryx; as I'm tired of wearing the first one every day, six months of the year, for the last nine years. And I wanted to try this hoodless design to be more stylish in the city. And I'm not disappointed! The quality, warmth, breathability, durability, and style are what makes the price worth the investment. I own lots of great pieces from this brand too, and I like how they have their own unique style, while buying their color options can be hit or miss. Will buy again!

At 6'4" 145lbs I went with the xl size, the lenth of the arms is good but the parka feels a little snug in the upoer body compared to other arcteryx shells ive owned in the past. The quality of this product is great! However the hood seems too large, even when tightened completely (sides and rear) the upper hood cover my eyes! If i was wearing a helmet it would be fine, but since this is a " lifestyle" parka and i do not intent to ski or mountainclimb with it, the most i will be wearing underneath is a toque. Great jacket! But not so great hood design..

I am 5'10, 155 lbs. I purchased size small, color Admiral. Admiral is a true dark navy.....gorgeous. Year after year after year I attempt to find a warm, functional, good fitting, and nice looking winter jacket. I had never found one that checks every box, until I found this parka. It is an outstanding piece. I tip my hat to the designers.
