Let’s take a closer look at some of the most important features.
Understated yet highly technical, we’ve designed our waterproof mens/womens parka jacket to have a sleeker silhouette than any other changing robes on the market. The contemporary feel is complemented by ‘undercover’ reflective details, textured logos, concealed popper closures and military style pockets. A woven twill texture provides a premium finish that’s complemented by a flattering cut. Choose from two contemporary colourways - Carbon Black or Nixie Blue.
At Red, we’re always looking for ways to make our production processes more sustainable, and creating our waterproof mens and womens parka jackets was no exception to this. The Revolution’s inner and outer layers are made from 100% recycled polyester with synthetic, feather-free eco down insulation that’s made from 83% recycled polyester. Crafting our products from materials is a crucial step in our efforts towards becoming a B-Corp company.
The most crucial aspect of our most advanced waterproof parka jacket is its versatility - this is much much more than a change robe. We’ve spent two years perfecting every technical aspect to ensure that you won’t need another coat all year. The ability to combine the layers to create an exceptionally warm, dry and windproof winter coat, or wear the layers individually for different adventures, ensures the 3 in 1 parka jacket fits seamlessly into your lifestyle all year round.
Bring essential valuables on your adventures with you using the multiple waterproof storage pockets. A concealed secure Napoleon pocket is discreetly hidden in the wind baffle, and the waterproof parka jacket also features four military-styled two-way handwarmer pockets (two in the outer coat and two in the inner fleece jacket), as well as additional storage pockets with embossed poppers.
We treat the Revolution robe with a durable water repellent that repels water without needing to use harmful per-fluorinated chemicals. This supports the high 10k/8k waterproof and breathability rating. The super soft outer layer is hard-wearing and quick-drying - a warm and cosy coat in its own right. Made with 150gsm 83%-recycled polyester 3M Thinsulate, the eco-down provides paper-light performance in the cold, whilst the 100% recycled down-proof nylon lining feels silky soft to the touch. The inner layer - a warm fleece coat, has a drawstring waist with toggles gathers in the moisture wicking fabric close to your body, whilst the contrast panel top keeps the wind out.
All our materials are tested and chosen by leading UK fabric experts, ensuring we never compromise on our apparel’s superior quality and effortless performance. Our high performance fabric is easy to care for and anti-static to ensure it washes like a dream, without losing its shape or pilling. The inner fleece can be washed separately, avoiding deterioration of the outer jacket.
