A raincoat with chainseams....

Hahaha indeed... But the tape inside runs over both fabric sides and "seals the gap" inbetween. I think it should hold pretty tight and leakproof, as long as the tape remains attached. There again i am pretty confident, as plastic on plastic should hold a lot better than plastic on fabric. It would be like trying to remove duct tape from a plastic bag.

I am more worried about how the color will hold. Anyway all this is theory, only experience will tell - can't wait for the weather to get warmer

Was looking into ording the same parka using NAS-PTC 13, was told by ccp all NAS-PTC were gone.

Sorry to hear that StrAngeRy (cherishing my luck and "that the force was with me"). Very nice gloves by the way, crazy color... ROMPIB?

Moisture + adhesive = good luck. Best looking "rain coat" though. Always liked it.

Most proper waterproof coats use seam taping, so I can't see this working any worse than that.

I've owned a ccp nas-ptc parka and I would 100% not wear it in the rain.

But congrats in the piece!

a parka that leaks? unless you are caught in a tsunami you are probably safe.

I assume this advice is from personal experience with a ccp nas-ptc parka?

know, it's a statement about parkas.

Pun intended?

i knew someone would get it:)

Thanks a lot for the advice Eton and Peasant! I will make sure to follow it. You saved my parka!

Thankfully I didn't order it in hopes of a protection against rain in the first place, more of a light summer jacket use, as I always thought from pictures, that the chainseam was "all open" anyway, with one part just hanging loosely to the next. I got misleaded and put too much thinking in it, when I saw the tape inside covering both sides. I thought maybe I was too much sissy and should give it a try.

It would have probably only remained a try, because the parka looks a lot better with the hood folded in (I think), but most of all, for those who know the fabric: it is probably not possible to walk thru rain with the hood on, without any additional ear protecion against the orchestral noise this would make

Spot on buddy

Hence the reason I sold it. That noise is hard work.
Still....the cut is amazing. Wish (and tried) CCP would do that exact cut in an over dyed cotton.

Oh really? I admit the sound might be a little over the top. For me, that was the truly unexpected suprise, which surpassed all my previous expectations. The fabric really doesn't look and feel, as if a garment could have been made out of it but hence, here it is, and with this cut & precision & all... I think I really love it

I am curious to the reaction of surrounding poeple though. Already imagining an overcrowded bus or metro and wearing this... it might help for a little extra free space around, when others move away avoiding getting molested (hey who needs protection from rain, when you can get protection from overcrowded busses instead? )

Almost bought one until I handled it. As D said, would be great in a fabric. That crunch is too much.

Give crunch a chance...! How can you not love that SOUND ?

[nellytheelephant]

I still love the looks I get on the tube wearing mine.
