Inuit Parka

An Inuit parka is a traditional, warm winter coat designed for cold Arctic climates. Made primarily from animal hides and fur, such as caribou or seal, it provides excellent insulation by trapping heat and blocking wind. The outer layer is often waterproof or water-resistant, helping protect against snow and moisture. Parkas typically feature a hood with fur trim to shield the face from harsh winds. They are crafted to be durable, functional, and suited to extreme cold, reflecting Inuit craftsmanship and survival needs. Today, they are also appreciated as cultural symbols and stylish winter wear.
