shares a viral video of a woman demonstrating how to wear a fur-trimmed hooded parka "correctly" by folding the fur ruff inward over the edge of the hood. She argues this better protects the ears and face from wind, prioritizing function over style.The video has gone viral (over 200K views, 1.5K+ likes as of today), with mixed reactions: many find it logical or eye-opening ("This shi actually makes sense"), while others mock it with jokes like "Hey Eskimos, you’re doing it wrong" or complain about tickling from the fur touching the face.Is she right?Partially, but it depends on the design.Traditional Inuit parkas (the origin of modern hooded parkas) feature a fixed fur ruff around the hood's edge, typically made from wolf, wolverine, or dog fur. This ruff is positioned outward in a "sunburst" pattern (longer hairs radiating out). Scientific studies (e.g., wind tunnel tests on Inuit designs) show this outward ruff disrupts wind flow, creates a boundary layer of still air around the face, reduces heat loss, and prevents frost buildup from breath better than no ruff or synthetic alternatives. Wolverine fur is especially effective as it doesn't ice up easily.uphere.ca

Modern fashion parkas (like Canada Goose or military-inspired ones) often have detachable or adjustable faux/real fur trim. Some allow flipping it inward for a tighter "tunnel" fit, which can block more direct wind but may tickle or reduce peripheral vision. Outward is still common for aesthetics and to mimic the traditional wind-breaking effect.realmenrealstyle.com
In short: For maximum scientific warmth in extreme cold, outward ruff (traditional way) wins. Folding inward might help in milder wind or for personal comfort/style – it's not "wrong," just different! The viral tip is a fun hack, but Inuit designs have optimized this for centuries.
