With similar features as OR's best selling Aria Down Hoody, the Women's Outdoor Research Aria Parka takes the warmth and packability of the hoody to new lengths. Hitting just above the knee and with a close-to-body cut, this parka keeps you toasty warm without making you look like the marshemallow man. A removable, adjustable hood and hem cinch allow you tighten in the warmth or let a little out depending on conditions.

Love it!
This is a great coat at a great price. I'm about 5'4" 130lbs and the Small fits perfectly and is extremely comfortable. I have noticed that if I have something in my pockets the coat poofs up a bit around my middle, but it doesn't bother me too much. I was hoping to find a smiliar coat with better rain protection. Since this is down I can't wear it when it rains. However, it is very warm and comfortable and for the price it can't be beat.

great coat but runs too large.
This is a great coat-it is designed beautifully and is a perfect length especially for someone who is not too tall like me. BUT It runs large-I feel it should be alot smaller and streamlined in the fit especially in a long "down" type coat where you do not want to look big. I would have kept the coat if it was 2 sizes smaller. I bought and XS and I am 5'3, 103 lbs. and there was no way I could keep the coat(althought I did love the looks of it) as it just was too big. I hope OR makes an adjustment to size for next year and then I would buy the coat!

Warm, light, soft material and walk-friendly
I found the cat to be a perfect fit, and since I tend to get very cold and walk around a lot, I needed something that would keep me very warm but also not get in the way of my feet. This coat is just that. The material is soft so it is a pleasure to feel, and it is so lightweight I forget I am wearing a coat.

Good Down Parka
This is a great option for anyone wanting a 'longer' down coat, but not one below the knee. I'm 5'4" and 122 lb. with a fairly athletic build (very wide shoulders) and although I like extra long sleeves and wouldn't mind another inch in the sleeve, it fits well and is supper comfy. Its is incredibly warm for the a very light weight jacket. I haven't had it long enough to comment on the durability, but so far so good.

Aria Parka
I am enjoying the parka as it has kept me toasty warm and is so very comfortable, very light for a down parka. Although, it tends to litter my clothing with small down remnants...which can be annoying and the zipper could be better quality. The design is also very flattering. Bottom line-functional and comfortable
