I guess my definition of "parka" is wildly different from theirs because to me this is just a glorified hooded sweatshirt (i.e. cool but not almost-$200 cool).

i don't care for full-zip hoodies, but after seeing this i would definitely buy one if it looked like Eva Unit 01 (haha).

The real question is if you're able to see through the fabric with it zipped all the way up. If so, these would be fantastic for cold days.

Now if only more people know about Tiger and Bunny so you wouldn't look silly walking around like that xD

I think that is what it means in Japanese. The transliteration doesn't exactly match the use of the word in English.

They put eyeholes in those sweaters, right? Or is this another fine example of darwinism in Japan?

They can't mangle our own words! It's like, like taking "geisha" to mean something else! Laughing

Well, they already took the word bloomer and used it as the name for gym shorts, so I guess they figured, "Why stop there?" ;D
