While traditional winter jackets generally only extend as far as your waist, parkas feature a longer length that extends below your hips. Many parkas extend as far as your knees or upper thighs, providing extra warmth to your legs when you're out braving the elements.
The word “parka" is thought to come from the Nenets language, translating as “animal skin".
Because parkas provide insulation over more surface area, they're generally warmer than jackets—though the amount of insulation will vary between different models.
