Design
- Longer, relaxed unisex fit.
- Drawstring waist and adjustable hood.
- Zip fastening beneath a snap-button front.
- Adjustable button cuffs.
- Two shoulder straps.
- Two outside flap pockets and three inside pockets.

Fabric & technology
- Waterproof & windproof
- Swiss Schoeller® fabric blocks rain and wind. The fabric has a waterproof rating of at least 20,000 mm.
- Adaptive breathability
- The C-Change® membrane becomes more breathable as you warm up, helping excess heat and moisture escape. In cooler conditions, it reduces heat loss.
- Water-repellent at the fibre level
- Schoeller® Nanosphere® replicates a lotus leaf: water beads and rolls off before it can penetrate. No coating to wear off.
- Taped seams
- NOSO® tape seals the stitching to help prevent water passing through the seams.
- Lining
- Climate-Shell™ lining combines breathability, moisture absorption and heat retention.
- Construction
- Lightweight, quick-drying fabric. The coat is made entirely in Europe.

Composition & care
- Outer fabric: 58% polyester, 30% polyurethane, 12% polyamide.
- Quilted lining and trim: 100% polyester.
- Lining: 100% viscose.
- Pockets: 100% polyamide.
- Label: 100% cotton.
A damp cloth is usually enough for a small mark. For a wash, use a gentle cold cycle with no spin or fabric softener, then hang to dry. Gentle hydrocarbon dry cleaning and very gentle professional wet cleaning are also suitable.
To refresh the water-repellent finish, steam or iron the outer shell on high heat with steam, following the care label. The heat reactivates the nano water-repellent finish.
Size & fit
One unisex shape, in French sizing. Compare the garment measurements with a coat you wear comfortably over your usual layers. The Unisex Parka is longer than the Women’s Parka; use the measurements to choose the room you prefer.

Choose your travel pouchGood to know.
Is there a separate men’s parka and women’s version?
No. It’s the same Unisex Parka, shown on women and men so you can see how it wears. Choose your size using the garment measurements.
Is a trench coat waterproof?
Some are, some aren’t; it depends on the fabric and construction. APA trench coats use fabric rated at least 20,000 mm waterproof, with taped seams to keep water from passing through the stitching.
Waterproof and breathable at the same time?
Yes. The membrane keeps liquid water out and lets moisture vapour escape: at least 15,000 g/m² over 24 hours (ISO 15496).
What size should I choose?
We use French sizing. Women’s cuts are true to size. Men’s cuts are slim: from M upwards, go up one size.
What if it isn’t quite right?
You have 14 days from delivery to return or exchange. Try it on at home, keep the labels and packaging, and we refund in full to your original payment method.
Trench or parka — which one is for me?
The trenches have a tailored silhouette and removable hood, with a removable belt on the women’s version. The parkas are more relaxed, with an adjustable waist and hood. The Women’s Parka is shorter; the Unisex Parka gives you more length. Same weather protection, different ways to wear it.
Is the Parka a winter coat?
The APA Parka is a lightweight waterproof shell. Add your favourite warm layers when the temperature drops. It gives you weather protection without a padded coat’s bulk.
Is the Unisex Parka different from the Women’s Parka?
Yes. The Unisex Parka has a longer cut and a relaxed fit for women and men. The Women’s Parka is shorter, with a waist you can cinch or leave loose. Check the garment measurements to find the shape you prefer.
How do I get the free travel pouch?
Add a coat and an APA × Dzaino travel pouch to your cart. The pouch price comes off at checkout, no code needed.
