Mackenzie's Parka

Mackenzie's Parka is an Outer torso item in The Long Dark. It adds 2°C warmth and 2°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 30%. It weighs 1.25 kg.

Within the Outer torso slot its 2°C warmth ranks #11 of 19 entries here — mid-pack for that layer.

At 1.6°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #74 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a poor return for the weight.

Its 3% protection is a small edge in a predator struggle, though mobility and warmth matter more in most runs.

Note the 4% 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 Mackenzie's Parka is a 2°C Outer torso piece, best reserved for cold-weather loadouts where the mobility hit is affordable.
