The Didriksons Akilles Parka represents the pinnacle of Swedish outdoor engineering, designed to provide uncompromising protection against winter's worst conditions. This functional men's parka features a specially designed padded interior with unique cushion-shaped padding that delivers superior insulation at 250g/m², ensuring exceptional warmth retention even in sub-zero temperatures.

Built with Didriksons' proven weather-resistant technology, the Akilles Parka boasts an impressive 10,000mm water column rating, making it fully waterproof for heavy rain and wet snow conditions. The windproof construction, combined with fully taped seams, creates an impenetrable barrier against the elements. Despite this robust protection, the parka maintains breathability preventing internal moisture build-up during active use.

The parka's two-way front zipper allows for versatile ventilation options and ease of movement when seated, while the additional button placket provides an extra layer of storm protection. The fixed hood features adjustable drawstrings for a customised fit, ensuring optimal coverage without restricting peripheral vision. Elasticated inner cuffs work in tandem with the adjustable hemline to seal out cold drafts and driven snow.

Designed with a regular fit and straight silhouette, the Akilles Parka accommodates comfortable layering without feeling bulky. The cut allows for a thin base layer or can easily accommodate a mid-layer fleece for extreme cold conditions. Featuring plenty of useful storage pockets including an internal pocket for valuables. A chin guard prevents zip irritation, while the external hanger loop adds practical convenience.

Reflective details on the logo and zip elements enhance visibility during low-light conditions, making this parka suitable for early morning commutes or evening outdoor activities. Whether you're navigating city streets in a winter storm or exploring frost-covered trails, the Didriksons Akilles Parka provides the protection, comfort, and functionality you need to embrace winter with confidence.
