When people generally refer to submachine jackets, they are mostly referred to as parka in the product catalogs of major manufacturers, and there are also a small number of jackets. According to Webster's Dictionary, the word parka comes from Russian and originally means a leather pullover with a hood in the Arctic region of Russia. Later on, it was extended to refer to a general term for all pullovers or jackets that come with a hood and can be lined.
In terms of style, modern parkas are generally made into short windbreakers, with accessories such as sliding buckles on the hood that can adjust the shape of the hood to match the head shape; There is usually a thick or thin fleece lining at the collar to reduce heat loss here; Thickening of shoulders and elbows to enhance wear resistance; The opening of the inner bag is outside the zipper to reduce heat loss, and the pocket opening is higher or has a chest pocket to avoid being pressed down by the backpack belt and unable to retrieve items from the pocket; The back of the garment is slightly longer than the front, and the sleeves are slightly bent forward to compensate for movement; Usually there are underarm zippers (but there are exceptions, such as TNF's infamous Core Vent system), and some may have snow skirts. The style of a jacket is relatively practical and generally does not have a hood.
According to the materials, parka and jackets can be divided into three types: windproof/breathable, windproof/non breathable, and windresistant/water-resistant. The representative of windproof/breathable is of course the famous GORE-TEX. Windroof/non breathable may sometimes be made very fancy, but in reality it's just a plastic raincoat. As for wind resistant/water resistant fabrics, even if they are exposed to light rain for a long time, they will still leak water and are not very practical for outdoor activities. They may be considered for urban tourism. Most of the raincoats sold in fashion stores are of this type. In addition to differences in fabric, the latter two types often simplify some things in design, such as underarm zippers, snow skirts, sleeve shapes, hood buttons, etc., in order to look more practical and not so strange.
As for raincoat, it is not the bicycle raincoat or disposable plastic raincoat that we remember. But it is a general term for waterproof clothing that is relatively lightweight compared to parka - sometimes also classified as Ultralight rainwear. In order to reduce weight, this type of clothing usually eliminates the lining, and waterproof and breathable materials are directly attached to the inner surface of the fabric. Thickening and other small things on parka are also eliminated, and of course, fleece lining cannot be added. Raincoat sacrifices some strength in exchange for lighter weight - it can be 1/3 lighter than a parka of the same size and has a smaller compression volume - less than half of a parka after compression.
The styles of assault jackets are mostly similar, the key is to see what you like and how well they fit. There are mainly long and short styles, as well as color blocking and monochrome. Overall, long styles are better than short styles, and color blocking styles are better than monochrome styles (mainly because they look good). Also, pay attention to whether it is the European version or exported to Japan, and whether it is the men's or women's version. A trench coat is a type of functional clothing, and men's and women's styles are very particular. Generally speaking, women's styles have smaller sleeves and a slender waist. The most obvious difference is that the main zipper on the chest of the men's version is inserted from left to right, while the opposite is true for the women's version.
A professional Pinrui submachine jacket should have the following design requirements: wear-resistant layers on the shoulders and elbows; There should be windproof skirts, or windproof feet, in the middle and lower parts of the garment to prevent wind from entering through the hem; There should be breathable zippers under the armpits, which can be opened directly for ventilation when sweating heavily; Built in hat for easy folding when not in use. In addition, there are some details, such as small hooks at the cuffs that can directly hang the gloves, and so on.
