FAQs

What does MTD® membrane mean?

MTD® is a technology that makes the fabric waterproof, windproof, and breathable, designed to keep you comfortable in various weather conditions.

How do I ensure the parka remains waterproof?

Follow the care instructions closely, avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and consider using a re-waterproofing treatment periodically, especially if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.

Can I wear this parka in very cold weather?

The parka provides excellent wind and water protection. For very cold temperatures, layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath to add insulation.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is fixed but features drawcord adjustments for a secure and personalized fit.

What is the benefit of using recycled polyester?

Using recycled polyester helps conserve resources, reduce energy consumption, and minimize waste compared to using virgin polyester.

How many pockets does this parka have?

It features two zipped front pockets and one inside zipped pocket.

What is the length of the parka?

The parka is described as 'long', providing extended coverage.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Ensure all seams and the membrane are intact. Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs reactivation (try low heat tumble dry) or reapplication.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax sparingly to the teeth.

Hood is not staying securely in place.

Tighten the drawcord adjustment at the front of the hood. Ensure the hood is properly fitted before tightening.

Internal lining feels damp.

This could be due to insufficient breathability or condensation. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and that the garment is not too tightly fitted. Check care instructions for proper washing.

  • Adjustable features (hood, cuffs) allow for a personalized fit.

Cons

  • Requires specific care instructions to maintain waterproof properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This parka requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. Its design is focused on outerwear functionality and compatibility with casual and outdoor attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Please refer to the specific care instructions on the product label. Generally, machine wash at a moderate temperature (e.g., 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Using recycled polyester requires careful washing to preserve its performance.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. A low heat tumble dry can sometimes help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
  • Re-waterproofing: For continued optimal performance, consider using a re-waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear periodically, following the product's instructions.
