Product Information
Full details
The Didriksons Essa jacket is an ideal choice for women seeking a versatile, lightweight, and warm parka suitable for unpredictable, damp outdoor environments. This Swedish-designed garment excels by providing a high level of waterproofing and breathability, though its A-line silhouette is specifically tailored for a regular fit that may feel roomier than athletic-cut shells.

FAQs
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design for optimal weather protection and features an adjustable visor.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, but follow the specific temperature and cycle instructions on the internal garment care tag to preserve the waterproof membrane.
What does the 15,000 mm water column mean?
It indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 15,000 mm column of water over a specific area before moisture leaks through.
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the construction and material are designed to be fully windproof, providing an effective barrier against cold gusts.
Are the materials sustainable?
The jacket uses a PFC-free water-repellent treatment, which is a more environmentally conscious choice compared to traditional perfluorinated chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric surface instead of beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment has worn off. Re-apply a waterproofing spray designed for synthetic outerwear after cleaning.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Clear any debris or fabric from the zipper track. A specialized silicone-based zipper lubricant can be used if it continues to feel resistant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Didriksons Essa jacket, always check the interior wash label before cleaning. The exterior polyamide fabric is durable but should be washed with a mild detergent; avoid fabric softeners which can clog the breathable membrane. Because the jacket features a PFC-free water-repellent treatment, you may eventually need to re-apply a DWR spray if water stops beading on the surface. The parka is designed to be worn over standard base or mid-layers due to its regular fit. Always engage the chin guard and zip the jacket completely to ensure the protective placket covers the zipper mechanism, preventing water ingress.
