Winter is on its way, and it’s time to think about what you’re going to wear to stay warm when you’re out and about in the cold weather. That means a heavy coat, gloves, and a scarf at a minimum, all of which you’ll have to carry with you everywhere you go.
But, what if you could have all those cold-weather accessories with you in one piece of clothing? What if there was a perfect winter coat?
North Aware’s Smart Parka is what you’re looking for then. The Smart Parka is not only a well-designed coat, but it’s also useful. North Aware was founded with the simple goal of creating the best, most fashionable and innovative clothing in the world. In 2016, North Aware launched a Kickstarter campaign for its Smart Parka. It became the most funded Canadian campaign on Kickstarter ever, raising $3.25 million.
The Smart Parka has the kind of features that make it indispensable – and it looks fantastic.
All four styles of the Smart Parka that North Aware offers for women–the Classic, Vogue, Expedition, and Bomber–are attractive and slimming. These aren’t the same kind of bulky winter coats that you usually see. The Smart Parka will catch the eye with its fashionable look, and it will impress you with how useful and convenient it is too. The Classic, Vogue, and Expedition are all available in the colors Candy Red, Hunter Green, Black, and Galaxy Blue; and the Bomber is available in Camouflage, Hunter Green, Black, and Galaxy Blue.
Every Smart Parka includes a number of features that make the jacket a go-to option for anyone who wants that union of fashion and effortless practicality. Each feature is designed with warmth and convenience in mind. The exterior of the coat is both water repellent and windproof. The Smart Parka also includes built-in fabric gloves and a built-in scarf for those days that are extra cold. The coats have removable lining and a removable length extension for adjustments, and the materials in the coat are animal free.
Best of all, every Smart Parka features pockets for your tablet, your smartphone, keys, hat, and electronic tracker. You can keep everything you need close to you when you’re on the go, and it’s all so much easier and safer than carrying around extra bags or clutches.
The Smart Parka 1.0 – what it’s all about
While the Smart Parka is an exceptional coat, North Aware wanted to take their designs a step further, which they did with the newly released Smart Parka 1.0. Just as quality constructed as the original Smart Parka, the Smart Parka 1.0 offers more convenience and luxury. The Smart Parka 1.0 features built-in water-resistant sheep leather gloves with cashmere lining; a specially designed extendable built-in scarf; a water-resistant exterior; and a detachable faux fur-lined hood. The coat is filled with 90/10 white duck down for supreme warmth and comfort, and the pockets are fleece lined to keep your hands protected from the cold.
Inside the coat, you’ll find even more upgrades. There’s a pocket and specially built holders for your iPhone AirPods so you never have to worry about losing them. A new dirt-resistant and shock-absorbing glasses pocket was also built into the coat for those who want a safe place to put their sunglasses or prescription glasses. There’s also a new power bank pocket, so that you can charge your phone in your coat while you’re out. Like the original design, the Smart Parka 1.0 also includes pockets for your tablet, your phone, your wallet and keys, and your electronic tracker.
