These are the approximate lowest temperatures you can wear each jacket without feeling uncomfortably cold, assuming:
- you only have a shirt under and no shell over,
- during daily use (strolls, power walks etc at most - no high output activities),
- with just a little bit wind,
- and in dry weather.
Read more about this chart here in my Insulated Outerwear Temperature Ratings Guide. Also my Best Patagonia Jackets post.
If you think you run warmer or colder than the average person, then shift temperature ranges accordingly.
Lastly - make sure to check out Patagonia.com Web Specials before you buy.
Make sure checking out rock solid used parka options at Patagonia's very own WornWear here: https://wornwear.patagonia.com/shop/search?q=parka
This chart is generally regarded just as informative as the table at the top, so I'd recommend you to check that out deeply.
Patagonia City Storm Parka. Along with Frozen Range Parka, it's one of my top 2 picks.
Before you say it, yes, Patagonia does not give their jackets temperature ratings. They're crystal clear about this.
You can read more about this here in their blog post:
https://www.patagonia.com/stories/from-the-trench-2/story-20140.html
You can go ahead and read it... But, in summary, their reasoning revolves around the subjectivity of the feeling of warmth, and hence causing difficulty of assigning such temperatures.
Although I completely do agree with Patagonia, I think it still is possible to give rough ratings provided that some serious assumptions are also being made.
Which is what I did.
I hope this post was helpful for you to learn more about the jacket(s) in your mind.

Hi,
I am wondering if you can include the patagonia lone mountain parker in the review and give your opinion on that.
Thanks
Hello Canberk! I’m new to trekking and I’ve enjoyed reading your site. In the summary table under the cons for Tres 3-in-1 parka you say “superior combo alternatives can be found when each piece bought separately”. Did you have any specific combos in mind? Could you please recommend them? Thanks!
In regards to the Tres 3-1, what are the superior combo alternatives that can be purchased when each piece is bought separately
