In-Depth Review
Modern Utility from Recycled Resources
The Everlane ReNew Long Parka is a testament to the brand's commitment to eliminating new plastic from their supply chain. This garment is constructed almost entirely from recycled polyester, diverting approximately 64 plastic bottles from landfills for every jacket produced. The shell, lining, and insulation are all derived from post-consumer waste, processed into high-performance yarns.
Functionality is not sacrificed for ethics. The parka is rated for temperatures down to 10°F (-12°C), utilizing a dense recycled fill that mimics the loft and warmth of traditional down without the animal welfare concerns. The exterior is treated with a breathable, water-resistant finish that is PFOA and PFOS free, ensuring that hazardous 'forever chemicals' are not leached into the environment.
- Shell made from 100% recycled polyester
- 60g recycled insulation padding
- YKK zippers made from recycled materials
- Fleece-lined pockets for added warmth
