FAQs
What is the temperature rating for this parka?
The Parajumpers Long Bear Parka has a temperature rating of Level 3, indicating it is suitable for cold climates and offers significant warmth.
Is the lambskin trim on the hood removable?
Yes, the lambskin trim on the hood is detachable, allowing for versatile styling and easier care of the trim.
How do I clean my Long Bear Parka?
Professional dry cleaning is recommended, especially for the down filling and lambskin trim. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for detailed instructions.
What does '700 fill power' mean?
Fill power is a measure of the loft or fluffiness of the down. 700 fill power indicates high-quality down insulation that provides excellent warmth for its weight.
Is the outer fabric waterproof?
Yes, the outer fabric is a wind- and waterproof Oxford nylon with a water resistance rating of 10,000 mm, providing reliable protection against rain and snow.
What are the key differences between sizes?
Sizing primarily affects the overall length and fit. While the core features remain the same, selecting the correct size ensures optimal comfort and coverage. Consult a size chart for specific measurements.
Can I wear this parka in mild winter conditions?
While it offers excellent protection in cold weather, the Long Bear Parka might be too warm for mild winter days. You can partially mitigate this by opening the side ventilation zippers.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently pull the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Check the bidirectional zipper mechanism.
Down feathers are poking through the fabric
This is uncommon with down-proof construction but can happen. Gently pull the feather back inside. If it persists, contact customer support. Do not pull forcefully as this can enlarge the hole.
Reduced insulation effectiveness
Ensure the down is dry and has not become compacted. If the parka has been washed, ensure it was dried thoroughly on a low heat setting with dryer balls to restore loft. Check for any tears or damage to the outer fabric where heat might escape.
Hood trim removal is difficult
Locate the attachment points (snaps or buttons) around the hood edge. Carefully detach each point. If it feels stuck, ensure no threads are caught and try again gently.

Care Instructions:
- Outer Shell & Lining: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
- Down Filling: The parka should be professionally dry-cleaned, preferably by a specialist in down garments. Ensure the down is thoroughly dried after cleaning to maintain loft and prevent clumping. Follow the specific instructions on the care label.
- Lambskin Trim: The lambskin trim is detachable. It can be carefully cleaned with a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid getting the main parka wet if the trim is attached.
- Storage: Store the parka on a breathable hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods to preserve the down's loft.
