Bergans Expedition Down Unisex Parka is a heavy-duty down parka developed and tested for expeditions, demanding winter weather and extreme cold. A generous layer of goose down with a high fill power provides effective insulation, while the durable ripstop material is reinforced over the shoulders and elbows.
The windproof and water-repellent outer fabric protects in exposed environments. The longer fit, adjustable hood and protective front flap make the parka well suited for cold winter days, mountain environments and expeditions.
The parka is insulated with RDS-certified filling of 95% goose down and 5% feathers. A fill power of 750 cuin provides good insulation, while the box construction helps the down to be evenly distributed and prevents cold spots.
Size L contains approximately 516 grams of down and feathers, which corresponds to a fill weight of approximately 230 g/m².
The outer fabric is made of durable polyamide in a ripstop construction. The shoulders and elbows have extra reinforcements to withstand wear and tear from backpacks, equipment and working in demanding environments.
The material is windproof and water-repellent but not completely waterproof. In case of prolonged rain or very wet conditions, a separate waterproof shell garment is therefore needed.
The fixed hood can be adjusted both front and back for all-round protection. The two-way front zipper is covered by a full-length storm flap with Velcro closure.
Elastic cuffs with thumbholes act as wrist warmers and help keep out cold air. The extended back provides extra coverage, while the hem can be adjusted with a drawstring.
The parka is equipped with hand pockets and chest pockets with zippers and protective flaps. On the inside there is a security pocket with zipper and a large open storage pocket with hidden elastic.

The model has a unisex fit and the sizes correspond to Bergans men's sizes. Women are normally recommended to choose a size smaller than their usual size. Choose the regular size if you want a looser fit or need space for multiple layers under the jacket.
Always follow the washing instructions on the garment. Use a gentle detergent designed for down and avoid fabric softener. Close zippers and Velcro fasteners before washing.
Tumble dry on low heat with clean dryer balls to restore the down's elasticity. The jacket must be completely dry before use or storage. Store in an airy place and avoid prolonged compression.

Bergans Expedition Down Unisex Parka has unisex sizes that correspond to Bergans men's sizes. The parka is spaciously designed to be worn with insulating layers underneath.
For women, Bergans normally recommends choosing a size smaller than the regular women's size . If a roomier or oversized fit is desired, the regular size can be chosen.
The table shows recommended body measurements, not the outer dimensions of the garment.
| Size | Body length | Breast | Waist | HIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 172.5 cm | 91cm | 76.5cm | 91.5cm |
| S | 176 cm | 96.5cm | 82 cm | 97 cm |
| M | 179.5cm | 103cm | 88cm | 103cm |
| L | 183 cm | 110cm | 96cm | 109cm |
| XL | 186.5cm | 117.5cm | 104cm | 115cm |
| XXL | 189.5cm | 125.5cm | 113cm | 122cm |
The measurements are for guidance only. For a parka, the chest measurement is the most important measurement when choosing a size.
Since the model is based on men's sizes, Bergans recommends the following conversion:
| Regular women's size | Recommended unisex size |
|---|---|
| S | XS |
| M | S |
| L | M |
| XL | L |
| XXL | XL |
Choose your regular size instead if you want a distinctly roomy or oversized fit.
Chest: Measure around the widest part of your chest with your arms relaxed at your sides.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist without tightening the tape measure.
Hip: Measure around the widest part of the hip and butt.
Body length: Measure from the top of your head to the floor when standing upright without shoes.
The parka is designed for use in extreme cold and has space for midlayers, so you usually don't need to go up a size to accommodate base layers and insulating garments.
If your measurements are between two sizes, Bergans generally recommends the smaller size, as their outdoor clothing is designed for layering. Choose the larger size if you prefer a very roomy fit or plan to wear unusually thick layers underneath.
