southwater Posted October 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2017 We just tried to determine sizings for Silverseas complementary parkas for their Patagonia cruise. The sizing chart does not seem to make any sense. We are both "normal" size people and for neither myself nor my wife is there any way to possibly match up the sizes specified for all three chest/waist/seat.. Does anyone have real world experience with these parkas and how best to determine correct sizing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also about to order a parka for our upcoming Antarctica cruise. I called them and they were helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted October 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 13, 2017 There will be extra parkas on the ship as it is not uncommon for guests to want to get larger or smaller size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted October 13, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Our long-ago experience (2009 and 2011) was that they ran larger than the specified size. I fit into a small and Chris an XS, even with a sweater underneath. We usually wear M and S shirts, respectively. We still have them and wear them for winter coats all these years later. That said, if you order your usual shirt size, I think you'd be fine. And you will likely have a touch extra room for bulkier clothing underneath. And as Jacko says, they have extras. Only 11 days until we are on Explorer...but not for a parka cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojaan19 Posted October 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 13, 2017 We have had several trips where you get the parkas. It is on the bed when you arrive at your cabin. If it is too large/small your butler will change it. I love the new parkas. There is a blue inner parka, and a red outer parka = a great improvement over the older version. So don't worry about sizing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted October 14, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2017 We have both the old and the new parkas. Just guesstimate the size. If it is too big or too small, your butler will change it out for you. I love the new 2 piece one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 varieties Posted October 14, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 14, 2017 We can second what Rojaan and Rachel say. The new Haglofs parka is terrific and a great improvement on the original. I would say the sizing is pretty true. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted October 14, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The fact that you can use just the inner blue jacket is a great idea.We gave away the old ones but definitely keeping the new.Already using it.Here on Kangaroo Island- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted October 15, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 15, 2017 JP of course I did a trip report- https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/a-few-quickies-for-the-drrons.84704/page-3 That should be the start of the Kangaroo Island part.For those wondering why we are talking about SOL it is the Southern Ocean Lodge.An upmarket lodge with nothing between it and Antarctica but a couple of thousand miles of the Great Southern Ocean.
