Arctic Shield Youth Classic - Elite Parka Rt Edge Y Large

The Arctic Shield Youth Classic Elite Parka in Realtree Edge Youth Large is purpose-built for young anglers and boaters who spend extended hours on the water in challenging weather. Designed specifically for the youth market, this parka combines serious cold-weather protection with the mobility young water enthusiasts need for casting, boat handling, and active outdoor pursuits. Whether your child is fishing a frozen lake, duck hunting from a blind, or running a boat in fall and winter conditions, this mid-weight parka delivers reliable thermal defense without excessive bulk.

Arctic Shield's heat retention technology traps warm air close to the body through advanced insulation engineering, while the fully waterproof outer shell sheds rain, snow, and spray without compromising breathability. The windproof construction blocks cold penetration—critical when you're stationary in a boat or standing waist-deep in waders. A relaxed fit allows layering underneath and permits the full range of motion required for fishing and boating activities, while the high collar provides neck protection against wind chill. The two-way zipper offers flexibility for venting during active movement or quick access without removing the entire jacket, and the pass-behind hand warmer pockets keep fingers warm without interfering with rod handling or gear access.

Young anglers transitioning to serious water time benefit most from this parka's balance of warmth and functionality. The Realtree Edge camouflage pattern works well for hunting applications while remaining versatile for general boating and fishing. At 1.85 lbs, the lightweight construction won't fatigue young shoulders during all-day outings, and the compact packed dimensions (14.85 x 4.4 x 17.1 inches) make it easy to stow in tackle bags or boat storage. Parents and youth coaches appreciate the durable construction that handles the wear and tear of active water sports while maintaining thermal performance season after season.
