Columbia Double Whammy Parka
Above: The current Double Whammy Parka, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Reviewed January 12, 1999 by Mark Schmitz

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Fabric: Berguntal Cloth
Fill: Fleece liner (zips out)
Price Paid: $175

I bought this as a general use winter coat with occasional ski trip duty. The hood is way short for me, it needs a longer "bill" to cover to keep rain/snow out off my forehead. The fabric is NOT water repellent. Light rain has a tendency to soak the fabric. I have applied some "Camp-Tex" water repellent which helped a little. The pit-zips are nice and the coat is durable and well made. The liner tends to "bunch-up" when putting the coat on.

I give it a 5 out of 10. If they'd only put a decent hood on it and a bit of water repellency...
