Didriksons Lina winter jacket

Written by Fiona

December 01 2016

When temperatures plummet you want a jacket that will keep you warm, even if it’s windy, rainy and snowy. Didriksons offer the Lina parka jacket for women and Dana parka jacket for men.

New for this season, Didriksons Lina Parka is the updated version of last year’s Angelina Parka.

It offers a warm jacket (140g/m2 of insulation) and a lovely fleecy liner at the back of the jacket. The stretch cuffs keep the warmth in the arms rather than allowing cold air to penetrate.

Plus the jacket is fully waterproof and windproof.

Other features:

  • PFC free DWR coating
  • Taped seams for extra waterproofing
  • Breathability 5000 g/m2/24h
  • Two-way front zip with storm guard
  • Two directions adjustable hood
  • Adjustable hem
  • Adjustable sleeve cuffs
  • Chin guard
  • Detachable synthetic fur trim on hood
  • Inner stash pocket
  • Four outer pockets
  • Media storage pocket with opening for phone/MP3 leads
  • Jacket colours in black, blue, red, yellow, green.

What I like: Very warm, long at the base hem so it keeps bum and thighs warm too, stylish, fake fur hood trim can be detached if you don’t like the look, generous sizing, good arm length, stylish, nice details.

What I don’t like: It’s quite a heavy jacket, it’s a bit fussy for me, it’s a bit square in shape.

See Lina jacket  for women and  Dana jacket for men. Shop aorund on-line and if you’re not too fussy about the colour you can buy for as little as £185. #foreveryrainyday #didriksons1913
