Insulated Parka with Hood for Cold Storage Work
This freezer parka with hood provides above-the-knee coverage for walk-in freezers, cold-storage warehouses, frozen-food facilities and refrigerated loading docks. The listed construction combines 12 oz insulation with a water- and wind-resistant polyester shell. An attached insulated hood adds head and neck coverage to the longer body design.
Raglan sleeves support reaching and lifting, while an elastic back helps the parka fit during movement. Double-ribbed knit wrists help limit sleeve drafts. Large front hand pockets and a left chest pocket keep small essentials accessible, and a heavy-duty brass zipper closes the front. Reinforced double stitching supports repeated workplace use.

Choosing a Parka or a Shorter Freezer Jacket
The longer parka covers more of the hips and upper legs than a hip-length jacket. Check that this extra length works with walking, bending and seated tasks. For equipment operators, verify freedom of movement and keep loose fabric clear of moving parts. A shorter jacket may be easier to manage where frequent transitions or seated work are priorities.
Use the Size Chart tab and allow room for normal base and mid layers. Check hood position and visibility with required head, hearing or respiratory equipment. Pair the parka with insulated trousers or bibs, gloves and footwear selected for the same working conditions.
Comfort Rating and Cold-Stress Guidance
The −50°F rating is seller-listed comfort guidance, not OSHA certification or a guaranteed safe exposure time. Activity, exposure duration, air movement, moisture, layering and individual tolerance affect comfort. Water- and wind-resistant fabric does not establish waterproof protection.
OSHA cold-stress guidance recommends suitable clothing, worker monitoring and frequent short breaks in warm, dry areas. Use the parka as part of a complete cold-work program and follow the garment care label.

- How long is the parka? It is listed as above-the-knee length. Actual coverage depends on garment size and wearer height.
- Does −50°F mean it is safe for a full shift? No. The comfort rating does not set exposure limits or replace assessment of the working environment.

We ordered these for our employees at the freezer storage. I can say these are very warm and hold up to the cold areas where we work. We had them embroidered with our company logo.
