FAQs
What does 'T-KIT system' mean?
The T-KIT system refers to Aigle's proprietary system that allows compatible zip-in linings to be easily attached to the parka, enhancing its warmth and versatility for different weather conditions.
How do I determine if a lining is compatible with this parka?
Look for product descriptions that explicitly state 'T-KIT compatible' or 'compatible with Aigle T-KIT linings'. The parka also features internal zippers specifically designed for T-KIT linings.
What is the waterproof rating of 15000 schmerbers?
A 'schmerber' is a unit of measurement for waterproofness. A rating of 15000 schmerbers indicates a high level of waterproofing, suitable for protection against significant rain.
Can I wear this parka without a T-KIT lining?
Yes, the parka can be worn on its own as a waterproof and windproof shell, especially during milder, wet weather.
How do I clean the silicone Aigle logo badge?
The silicone badge can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the material.
What material is the main outer fabric?
The main outer fabric (Outer Fabric 1) is 100% Polyester, with a secondary outer fabric (Outer Fabric 2) composed of 71% Cotton and 29% Polyamide.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
Water is leaking through the fabric.
The waterproof coating may be compromised. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can affect performance. Consider re-applying a fabric-specific waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester and cotton blends.
T-Kit lining does not fit correctly.
Verify that the lining is an official Aigle T-Kit compatible model and is the correct size for the parka. Ensure the zippers on both the parka and the lining are fully aligned before zipping.
Drawcords are frayed or difficult to adjust.
Inspect the drawcords for damage. If frayed, you can carefully trim and seal the ends with a flame or replace the drawcord entirely.
