Parka

[David L. Darnell]

I wish I had purchased a 5 of these when I got mine and my wifes about 15 years ago, Columbia Ibix Parka if my memory serves me correctly.

I put mine through hell and back, it gave up the ghost after 13 years of hard living.

My wife is 5’7″ to give you an idea of what a mens Large looks like, I had a mens XL-Tall

Anyone got any leads where I can find a parka of this length these days, all the catalogs I see call a jacket a parka.

I have a lot of LL Bean gear because most of it is made in tall sizes and I’m pretty happy with all of it.

Because it doesn’t get all that cold here, I use one of their shell jackets and wear it over various fleece gear depending on temps.
It’s a really good jacket IMHO and I love it.
They’re on sale at the moment –

And here’s the jacket I have for work with the cameras and what I bring when wet wading now-

As far as I know they also make the only wading jackets in a tall size.
(Someone please correct me if I’m wrong!  ;))
