Halti 1976 Parka

Most brands celebrate fifty years with a limited edition logo or a documentary. Halti built a parka instead.

The 1976 Down Parka marks the fiftieth anniversary of a brand that started in the Finnish north with one mission. To create gear that lets people actually go out there. Back in the seventies Halti’s founders were hikers, skiers and climbers. People who understood that good design starts with real purpose. No hype. Just function done well.

The 1976 Down Parka feels like a conversation between Halti’s past and future. The silhouette is classic and unforced. Something you could spot in an old expedition photo and still wear on a city street today. There is no shouting for attention. No loud branding, the piece earns its presence through thoughtful design and quietly powerful details. One thing that makes this anniversary piece special is how it was created. Instead of handing it to a single designer Halti brought the whole design team together. The parka became a shared project. A reflection of everything Halti has learned in five decades of making clothing for serious weather and everyday life.

The insulation comes from Untuvia recycled down, a Finnish innovation that gives old down a second life through a clean and gentle purification process. It brings warmth and loft without compromising the planet. The north teaches you to respect nature and this choice shows Halti still takes that lesson seriously.

The 1976 Down Parka includes all the smart touches that Finnish design is known for. Intuitive adjustments on the hood, waist and cuffs. Practical pockets. A detachable faux fur trim. A separate inner collar for instantly added warmth. You can even customise the look with extra zip pullers and a removable sleeve badge. A small reminder that outdoor gear can still have personality.
