Product Information
Full details
This Aigle MTD Long Parka is designed for adult males seeking versatile, all-weather protection. Its key benefit lies in the T-Kit system, allowing for adaptability across seasons. A potential consideration is its specific material composition, which may influence breathability in very warm conditions.

FAQs
What does 'MTD' stand for in the product name?
MTD typically refers to a specific fabric technology or treatment used by Aigle that enhances performance, often relating to breathability and water resistance.
How do I determine the correct size for a T-Kit lining?
T-Kit linings are designed to match the size of the parka. Consult the size guide for the specific lining you are purchasing, ensuring it corresponds to your parka's size.
Can I wash the parka with other clothing items?
It is recommended to wash the parka separately or with similar colors on a delicate cycle to prevent damage to the fabric and its waterproof treatment.
What is the waterproof rating of 15000 schmerbers?
The schmerber rating measures the waterproofness of a fabric. 15000 schmerbers indicates a high level of waterproofing, suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
How do I care for the silicone Aigle logo?
Avoid ironing directly on the silicone badge. If ironing is necessary, do so at a very low temperature on the reverse side of the fabric.
Is the fishtail back removable?
The fishtail back is not removable, but it is retractable and can be secured with press-studs for a tidier appearance when not needed.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant along the teeth. Move the zipper up and down slowly to distribute the lubricant.
Water is leaking through the fabric.
Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. If the waterproof coating has diminished, consider applying a specialized fabric waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester and cotton blends. Ensure all zips and fastenings are secured.
T-Kit lining does not attach correctly.
Verify that the lining is specifically designed for the Aigle T-Kit system and is the correct size. Ensure both the parka and lining zippers are clean and free of debris before attempting to zip them together.
Drawcords are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the drawcords are not tangled and that the toggles are functioning correctly. If frayed, consider replacing the drawcord.
