Full details
This Aigle Long Cotton Parka is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and durable outerwear option, particularly for transitional weather.

FAQs
What does 'MTD' stand for in the product name?
MTD typically refers to 'Made To Dry' or similar technologies indicating water-resistant and quick-drying properties, often associated with the fabric treatment.
How do I determine the correct size for me?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart, usually available on their website or product listing. Measure your chest, waist, and height, and compare with the provided garment measurements.
Can I wear this parka in very cold winter conditions?
The parka itself provides a waterproof shell. For very cold conditions, you will need to utilize the T-Kit system to zip in a warm Aigle lining designed for winter.
What material is the main outer fabric?
The outer fabric is a blend of 71% Cotton and 29% Polyamide, offering a balance of comfort and durability.
How is the fishtail back adjusted?
The fishtail back can be adjusted or retracted using press-studs located on the back of the parka.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is fixed and features a drawstring for adjustment.
What is the waterproof rating in more common terms?
A rating of 15000 schmerbers is considered good for general rain protection and is suitable for moderate to heavy rain. Higher ratings indicate greater resistance to water pressure.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems reduced.
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof-modern-clothing if necessary, following product instructions. Clean the garment according to care instructions, as dirt can affect water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
T-Kit lining does not fit.
Verify that the lining is an official Aigle T-Kit compatible product and is the correct size for the parka. Ensure zippers on both the parka and the lining are correctly aligned before attempting to zip them together.
Garment feels damp inside after wear in rain.
Check that all zippers and fastenings are fully closed. Ensure the hood and cuffs are adjusted properly to prevent water ingress. Condensation can also occur in highly breathable garments; ensure adequate ventilation if performing strenuous activity.
