Alpha Industries Parka Thread

[hippohead]

This was the Aslakan Green Altitude Parka one not as dark as the one posted above. But this is a the fit of it posted in the random deals thread. I'm 5'9 about 185lbs.

Might have missed it but what size is this altitude parka? Repped for the pics!

I went with a size M. Usually I'm a size large in everything. I don't really purchase jackets online because sizing is always a hit or miss. This is the day I got my parka and I'm wearing a crewneck underneath and it still fits super comfortable. Not tight anywhere. It's the bogo crewneck size XL for reference.

$30 coats I slept on this thread. But I got a new one for Christmas so I don't think I should bother.

27.99 shipped.

Link? Maybe I'll check it out

My parka came into today. Got the N2B W3X in an XL. A reference for anyone my size.

6'1 athletic and muscular (45" chest 35 waist") with long limbs and broad shoulders.. The coat fit fine around the chest and waist. Shoulders were a bit tight depending on the motion i'm making. Tried it on with a pocket tee and had plenty room through torso and arms. I wouldn't wear it with a lot of layers underneath though. Would feel stuffy if I had a thick sweater.

The inner sleeves fit a bit short on me (again long limbs). More noticeable since its snug on your wrist. The shell extends past that though. Won't be much of an issue if I'm wearing cloves, but noting for those with long arms. Cant zip up entirely with hood down while fur attached, but possible when fur is removed. Doesn't feel like I'm choking with hood down or up.

Looking at the altitude parka sizing guide, I probably could have got that for the extra sleeve length in XL. A XXL in any other of these models would probably feel better in the shoulder, but be big everywhere else.

Overall coat is nice. For something I'm probably wearing no more than 2 weeks total out the year, and for $30, its worth it.

My Parka didn't come with the red "Remove Before Flight" so I put one that I had laying around on mines

While the coat is great in terms of quality-I searched high and low for an expedition type quality parka and was greatly disappointed by sizing claim. I urge the company to increase its sizes and have accurate sizing. I don't care if a 8xl is required but not in product line. But if 5xl is labeled, it should not fit like a 3xl. Great products but very misleading about size. Now my upcoming trip disrupted.

i wanted this gold parka because i love this color. they didn't have this color for females so i ordered men. i wear a xl in women so i figured it would be plenty big for me in men. wrong! i had to return twice before i got the right fit. i ended up with a 3x. love the coat!q52

Steve and Barbara might be in denial about their real size

Tumble boyz

Finally got mine today, 5'9 220lb here and got a large, fit is good. I was worried when dude posted the 2xl and was under 200lb, his scale may b tellin lies. Satisfied with the purchase.

 

[jking0821]

Parka came in and im very pleased. As mentioned im 6ft 180lbs and a M fits good.

The quality is definitely there. I paid $40 for mine since i missed the coupon code but was lucky enough to still get it for the low. Well worth the $40.

 

[danyosahn]

dang how'd I miss out on this...

 

[lovehateself]

Man, I'm hot
I called AI, got my shipping and thought everything was cu-de-la
I got the package in yesterday and it only had the w3x parka and not the utility jacket (which is what I really wanted)
Called AI and they said "oh, you'll get a refund for it "

Besides that, the jacket fits perfect
I'm 5'10 around 200 so
I sized up and I got the XL

Might have to rock this
It may or may not hit 60 today

Most companies use faux fur, but jeez their fur looks ragged and cheap.
