First Lite Refuge Parka

Waterfowlers make up a small percentage of hunters who get truly stoked when they see sleet, snow, and driving winds in the forecast. Cold weather kick-starts migrations from the north, and heavy precipitation + wind forces the birds to fly low, on the lookout for cover and safe-haven with other flocks, increasing the opportunity for sweet-talking waterfowlers to coax them into their decoy spreads.

The Refuge Parka was built for performance in the extreme conditions of the late season with its robust insulation package, durable waterproof materials, and an extensive feature set optimized for every moment of the hunt.

We’ve fit the Parka with plenty of room to layer over the Refuge Bibs or waders + Base-Layer and Transitional Outerwear (like Catalyst or Uncompahgre) to keep hunters comfortable from 30 degrees to well below zero. The Refuge outerwear system is carefully designed to help hunters from every flyway go farther and stay longer through the best, worst days in the field.
