Schoffel INS PARKA STYLE OPTIMEA MEN'S Coat

Designed for men who brave cold, rainy days without sacrificing a polished look, this Schöffel coat combines serious winter protection with urban style. The INS PARKA STYLE OPTIMEA MEN parka is ideal for everything from winter strolls to hikes in challenging conditions, thanks to a longer cut that provides greater coverage and a 2-layer Dermizax® membrane that combines waterproofing with breathability. The result is a coat designed to withstand cold and wet conditions without sacrificing freedom of movement.

Protection from the elements: the Dermizax® membrane and Ceravida® Heat insulation at the heart of the INS PARKA STYLE OPTIMEA MEN

The Dermizax® membrane gives this parka a waterproof rating of 20,000 mm water column, with a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24h (MVTR). Fully taped seams reinforce this waterproofing throughout the entire construction. In addition, the 180 g Ceravida® Heat synthetic insulation ensures sustained warmth even when the filling is exposed to moisture—a property that natural insulation does not guarantee under the same conditions. The Regular Fit and longer cut help retain body heat by providing extra protection for the lower back and hips.

Freedom of movement designed for active outings

The two-way stretch built into the fabric and strategically placed elastic inserts allow the garment to move with the body without restriction, whether on a hike or during dynamic urban travel. Soft, elastic arm gaiters complete this design by preventing drafts from seeping in at the wrists, while the snap-adjustable sleeve cuffs allow for quick customization based on conditions.

Organization and visibility: the parka’s functional details

The two-way front zipper, protected by a storm flap and a rain flap, facilitates ventilation while on the move while maintaining waterproofing. The dual-adjustable hood, featuring an elastic insert, adapts to the wearer’s head shape and can be worn on its own or over a helmet depending on the situation. There are numerous pockets designed for field use: a chest pocket with a water-repellent zipper, two functional double pockets with flaps and side zippers, and a zippered pocket on the upper arm featuring a reflective element. This feature, combined with other reflective elements throughout the jacket, improves visibility during outings in low-light conditions. The Fair Wear Foundation certification also attests to a commitment to responsible manufacturing practices.
