FAQs

What is the T-Kit system?

The T-Kit system allows you to zip compatible thermal linings (sold separately) into the parka, making it adaptable for colder weather and different seasons.

How do I know if a lining is compatible?

Look for the 'T-Kit compatible' label on linings or check the official Aigle website for a list of compatible accessories for your specific parka model.

What does '15000 schmerbers' mean for waterproofing?

A rating of 15000 schmerbers indicates a high level of waterproofing, suitable for protection against significant rain and moisture.

Can I wear this parka in very cold winter weather?

Yes, with the addition of a suitable T-Kit compatible thermal lining, this parka can provide warmth for cold winter conditions.

How do I clean the parka?

It is generally machine washable at 30°C on a delicate cycle. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are described as zipped pockets with side flaps. While the zippers provide a barrier, the primary waterproofing applies to the jacket's outer fabric. It is advisable not to store sensitive electronics in pockets during heavy rain.

What is the fishtail back for?

The fishtail back is an adjustable feature that can be secured with press-studs, allowing you to alter the parka's silhouette and coverage.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Waterproofing seems reduced

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment using a spray or wash-in product suitable for technical outerwear. Follow the product's application guidelines carefully.

Lining does not zip in correctly

Ensure you are using a T-Kit compatible lining. Align the zipper teeth of the lining with the corresponding zipper inside the parka. Start zipping from the top or bottom and ensure no fabric is bunched up.

Hood drawstring is loose

Check if the cord ends are properly secured. If the toggles or stoppers are damaged, they may need replacing. You can typically tie a knot or use a small piece of tape to temporarily secure the drawstring.

  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Iron at a low temperature (maximum 110°C), being careful not to iron over any prints.
