Expedition Parka

Expedition Parka is an Outer torso item in The Long Dark. It adds 4°C warmth and 6°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 50%. It weighs 1.5 kg.

Within the Outer torso slot its 4°C warmth ranks #2 of 19 entries here — among the warmest for that layer.

At 2.67°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #37 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a middling ratio.

Its 6% protection is a small edge in a predator struggle, though mobility and warmth matter more in most runs.

Note the 5% mobility penalty — it slows you slightly, so a lighter inner layer can be the better trade when you are carrying a heavy load.

Crafting notes: it repairs with 2 × Cloth; 45 minutes; 30% condition and harvests into 2 × Cloth; 20 minutes.

Verdict: Overall Expedition Parka is a 4°C Outer torso piece, best reserved for cold-weather loadouts where the mobility hit is affordable.
