Technical

Why

Because when the weather really turns ugly, you need something modern and built specifically to take on the elements.

Origins

The US military's N-3B snorkel parka was designed specially for aircraft carrier flight deck crews who could face temperatures as low as negative sixty degrees fahrenheit.

How to Wear It

Pull these slightly bulky coats over your slimmest suits to keep you warm on the way to work. Or zip them up over a sweatshirt with jeans or joggers.

What to Look for

Science-packed pieces with plenty of functionality that ensures your protection. But you still want a fit that's tailored and details that aren't too nerdy.
