Seb's Review of Arc'teryx Thorsen Parka - Men's

As I waited over 10 days to get this item delivered (Campsaver, looking at you), I was hoping the '1.60lbs' weight I read on my tracking page was inaccurate.
No, it wasn't. This is a very, very, very light parka, which if that's what you're looking for, search no more. It's no thicker than any of those Patagonia puffers people wear.
But at that price point you can find much better/warmer/sleeker parkas. This will be warm, but it doesn't feel like a parka.

There's also the fact that it barely has pockets. Only 3 pockets for a thing that covers you all the way down to mid thighs. In 2019 I can't believe we need to ask for more pockets.
And the hood is ridiculously small, the kind of small that you have to unzip the jacket, cover your head, zip the jacket. And then you look like Cartman from South Park.
It may be warm, it may be what you are looking for, but if you're looking for a serious, puffy, warm winter parka... This ain't it man.

It's extremely overpriced, and you'll be able to find it for cheaper in other outlets. I am returning mine.

  • weight
Cons:
  • pockets
  • Cold
  • price (even on sale)
  • small hood
  • Thin fabric(?)
  • tight neck
