4 Winter Parkas for Short Men (Hands-On Review)
It’s not easy to find a properly-fitted, high quality parka for short men, but we do have some options.
While most of us can get through winter by layering up under medium weight jackets, some climates call for an actual winter parka.
If you’re a shorter guy, you’ve probably found that most parkas are simply too long in the sleeves and body.
If you’re also thin (like me), most parkas are probably too big and baggy for you too.
9 out of 10 parkas I’ve tried on made me look and feel like Randy from A Christmas Story.
But I’ve found a couple of great options that actually look good on my smaller frame, and I want to share them with you.
My Build
For reference, I’m 5’6” in shoes and about 123 lbs after dinner. I have a 34” chest, and I usually wear XS tops.
My off-the-rack suit jacket size would be 34S, and my ideal pant size is 28×27.
Quick Note
The point of this article is to show you how these parkas fit. I’m not going to get into the technical features and performance of each coat.
You can check the product pages for more details about product features, weather ratings, materials, country of origin, etc.
Canada Goose Fusion Fit Langford Parka
First up, we have the mac daddy of all parka brands, Canada Goose.
I don’t think I’d ever spend $1,000+ on a winter coat unless I lived somewhere that experiences freezing temps for 3-4 months each year.
But I wanted to try a Canada Goose Fusion Fit parka because it was designed to fit “people with smaller body frames”.
According to their website:
Fusion Fit sizing was created by analyzing 26 key body measurements and more than 16,000 scans of individuals.
