Women's Parka Coats
A women's parka covers more of you than a short jacket, which is what you want standing at the school gate in a downpour. These parkas come from Respect, the adult line that runs alongside MINOTI childrenswear. A parka is cut long enough to sit over the hips, with a hood to pull up when the rain sets in, and leaves room for a jumper underneath.
A parka is longer than a rain jacket, often finishing at mid-thigh, so it keeps the rain off jeans. If you want a women's rain parka or a women's waterproof parka, check each product page for the fabric and whether it is fully waterproof or shower-resistant. A women's black waterproof parka hides mud splashes from buggy wheels. If you wear a thick knit underneath, go one size up for room across the shoulders.
Your questions answered
Respect by MINOTI offers women's parkas, longer hooded coats that sit over the hips and layer over a jumper, made for wet school runs, dog walks and cold commutes.
Can a parka raincoat for women be worn in winter?
Yes, if you layer under it. A parka raincoat keeps out wind and wet, and a jumper and a thin fleece underneath add warmth on mornings around 0°C to 5°C. Go one size up if you plan to wear two layers underneath all winter.
How long should a women's parka be?
Most parkas finish between the hip and mid-thigh. A mid-thigh length keeps you drier on a bike or a park bench, while a hip length is easier for driving. Compare the length on the product page with a coat you own, as even 5 cm makes a difference.
