Hello,

Since we have dozens of threads on parkas, I thought it would be cool to have a place to talk about hardshell jackets with Gore-Tex/Dry Vent/h2No fabrics like what Arc'teryx is well known for.

While the current trend in most Canadian cities is to buy a down parka, some have said that it is a much smarter buy to invest that money in a water resistant hardshell. You can use that same jacket for the fall and spring and add layers - even a down layer to simulate a parka if you'd like- as needed. I'd love to hear what everyone is using for the winter!
