PERFORMANCE DOWN PARKA - CLEARANCE

I'm 5'10 and 95 kg. The size large fits perfectly. Really nice cut that gives you a good masculine shape. It doesn't make you look like the Michelin man like the traditional puffer style jackets. Lots of little attention to detail features and feels quality throughout.

Very happy with my purchase from Alchemy Equipment. Really looking forward to some cold winter weather to try it out. Quality and style looks great.

This is such a good quality item, everything about it is great. The fabric, the zippers, the lining. We live in Perth, Western Australia and don't get a long winter but it's a bit wet and chilly for 4 months of the year. This coat is perfect for those rainy days and cold nights. It's light enough to pop into a backpack and squishes down quite small. Looks really smart - I bought the navy in the sale. My son is tall but really slim and the XS fit perfectly. Warm without being heavy. Will be perfect to take to the UK when we visit. Loving the brand Alchemy Equipment which I have only just discovered!

I bought the Performance Down Parker for a planned trip to the UK in their winter. The combination of rain resistance and down insulation will be great for the wet winters in the UK. Great for travel as I only need to pack this instead of a rain coat and an insulated jacket. I am breaking it with a wet winter in Wellington NZ and it works a treat. I'm 6ft and 100kgs, and the XL fits just great.

A great fit, warm and can be worn for every occasion.

I managed to get in on the 25% insulation sale and haven't looked back. I was wearing an old ski jacket in the past and wasn't very work appropriate. It is slick enough looking for after work drinks, but functional enough that I am going to stay warm in the Wellington weather, biking to the train station. Great find.

Got a small, I'm 5'7" 140lbs and fits well. Warm and thoughtfully designed. Wish there was still a brown color.

Great jacket, it arrived in 2.5business days. Pretty incredible!

Have started to wear it again this year as winter kicks in. Keeps out all the winter elements and all the pockets are great to stash photography things in when I’m out in the field, as well as keeping my hands warm from time to time.

When and if it ever wears out - I’ll get another one for sure

Thanks at Alchemy Equipment

The overall experience was fantastic. I had a really short timeline but the coat arrived in heaps of time. Love the coat and can’t wait to use it in Europe. Great quality and fits really well. Thanks for all your help.

It's all in one : warm , comfy water repellant , nice fit , nice quality , nice details.

Very warm and comfy , nice fit , beautifully designed for any weather conditions.

The coat is very thoughtfully designed and well made. Stylish and functional at the same time!

This parka is almost perfect - long but not too long, simple lines, fitted, good size pockets (although could do with one or two more inside), light, warm, has zipper as well as buttons, water resistant. It could come in a bigger choice of colours though.

I was hunting around for ages looking for a long black jacket that was warm and waterproof enough to wear to walk my dogs this winter. It seems to be ok, it's warm enough and I love the pockets at the front. It is quite stylish in its cut. Unfortunately I ordered the large (I'm a 12) and it is so tight under the arms, I can barely lift my arms and it digs into my armpit. Also it's kind of an off black where it looks kind of old and faded especially when next to real black things- not sure if that was a conscious design feature or not.

I brought this after being impressed by my first purchase from Alchemy, the Performance Rain Coat. I wanted a warm long waterproof jacket and this is the one, might be a little bit stiff for some people and starting the zip sometimes takes a couple goes but overall it’s really good.

This is warmer than expected and fits well

Was concerned that the parka might be too big ( I am between medium and large fit) I bought a large and it's fine as I seem to wear it with relatively bulky clothes under it - so far not tested in torrential rain but I'm sure I will soon
Very happy with the product

A perfect jacket for wearing to the office or out in the cold weather. Super breathable and fits well.

A functional and stylish addition to my winter wardrobe that seems to gather a lot of positive comments. The cut and colour has visual appeal while the outer material and padded lining provides the best practical protection from the elements. What made the purchase of this jacket even better was the informative and friendly shopping experience I got to enjoy in the Christchurch flagship store. It also allowed me to discover a MEDIUM fitted like a bespoke suit even though I am normally a LARGE.

This parka is amazingly warm, very functional and perfectly comfortable! The added length ensures the cold is kept out and looks very stylish. Can’t wait to put the parka through it’s paces in winter - I have no doubt it will serve me well for years to come!

This is a dream jacket! An urban style look matched with an outdoorsy properly waterproof and windproof protection. The zip can be unzipped from the bottom upwards, so your legs can be free to move around like in a shorter length jacket to run around.

It was warm enough for a -1 degree day with thin wool layers underneath.
I was worried it would be too hot in 16 degrees but it's not! I got a roomy size and that makes it fine to wear in heat.

You can play with the shape of the hood. You can stand the collar up high against the back of your head instead of wearing the hood, better than a scarf.

Pockets are awesome with silky feeling lining. Feels like walking around in a duvet.
My friend saw my coat and went to buy one the next day!

Comfy quality jacket. Looks great and is a good fit. Well made and does the job nicely. Plus the online ordering system worked perfect. Received the jacket before the courier could notify me it was on the way :)
