Iceland is a padded parka in Galon® fabric from the Didriksons Originals collection that is fully wind and waterproof with welded seams. This rain jacket has been named in honour of the many trips made to Iceland by the local fisherman from Grundsund wearing Didriksons gear in the early 20th century. It is a straight-fit style with a watertight front zip. It has front and inside pockets and a discreet reflective detail on the back that is visible when walking. The hood is fixed and has a high front collar to protect against wind and rain. The lining has been dyed using a solution dyeing technique. This technique saves up to 80% water compared to conventionally dyed fabric in the same material.
Regular fit: The fit with classic measurements that feels just right with a thin top underneath but one that can also accommodate an extra mid-layer underneath if necessary Read about our different fits here..
Below is a simple summary of which garments are waterproof based on a three-level scale. We have formulated our waterproofness scale based on the waterproofness of the material, whether the garment has taped or welded seams, and how the garment is constructed.
Below is a simple summary of which garments have insulating properties. The warmth scale is based on a number of factors such as weight of padding, type of padding, length, and construction of the garment.
Remember that everyone experiences heat differently and some people feel the cold more than others. This scale is intended to provide a pointer regarding how warm a garment is.
