Lands' end jackets are nylon made water resistant jackets that can be used to keep you dry and warm. The hood is lined with fleece in these knee length jackets with plenty of pockets too.
For those of us that live in cold weather climes, winter bring the cold, snow, ice and freezing rain each year. The native Inuit people (don't call them Eskimo's!) wore a thigh length pullover coat with a fur-trimmed hood called a "parka".
Traditionally, the arctic parka was made from caribou hide, and fox fur. Even the Inuit rarely wear the traditional garb in favor of modern styles.
Many jackets today are called parkas, but you need to understand the defining features of the parka if you're after the real deal. A parka is always thigh-length, almost to the knee, and features a fur-trimmed (or faux fur) hood. All parkas now feature a front zip closure, some with an outside button flap.
