Product Information

Full details

This Aigle Gore-Tex Long Parka is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements without compromising on style. Its key benefit is superior waterproofing and breathability thanks to its Gore-Tex membrane, keeping you dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is that its long cut might be less practical for very active pursuits requiring maximum freedom of movement, though the 2-layer construction aims to mitigate this. Key features include a 2-layer Gore-Tex construction, an adjustable and removable hood, a long protective cut, and reflective details for enhanced visibility.

FAQs

Is this parka suitable for very cold winter weather?

The parka provides good protection against wind and cold due to its long cut. However, it is a 2-layer shell and doesn't have heavy insulation. For extreme cold, layering with warm mid-layers is recommended.

How do I clean the Gore-Tex fabric?

Machine wash on a warm cycle with a liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach. Rinse twice and tumble dry on a medium setting to restore water repellency.

Can I remove the hood?

Yes, the hood is designed to be adjustable and removable, allowing you to adapt the parka to different weather conditions or preferences.

What does '2-layer' Gore-Tex mean?

A 2-layer Gore-Tex construction means the waterproof and breathable membrane is laminated to the outer fabric. A separate protective inner lining (often a mesh or lightweight fabric) is attached loosely, providing durability and comfort while allowing the outer fabric to 'breathe' more freely.

Are the reflective details durable?

Reflective details are generally durable but can be affected by excessive abrasion or improper washing. Follow care instructions carefully to maintain their effectiveness.

What is the benefit of the long cut?

The long cut provides extended coverage, offering better protection against wind, rain, and cold that might otherwise affect the thighs and lower body.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the surface.

This indicates the DWR treatment has worn off. Wash the parka according to care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate it. If ineffective, apply a new DWR treatment spray or wash-in product.

Feeling damp inside despite being dry outside.

Ensure zippers and pockets are fully closed. If persistent, the Gore-Tex membrane may need cleaning. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.

Hood adjustment is difficult.

Check for any obstructions in the drawcords or toggles. Ensure the hood is properly aligned before attempting adjustments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproofing and breathability with Gore-Tex technology.
  • Versatile design with an adjustable/removable hood.
  • Enhanced safety due to reflective detailing.
  • Comfortable for extended wear with good freedom of movement.
  • Provides significant protection from wind and cold.

Cons

  • The long cut may be restrictive for certain high-mobility activities.
  • May be warmer than a lighter jacket for mild weather.
  • Requires specific care to maintain Gore-Tex performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This parka requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the hood is adjusted or attached as desired before use.

Compatibility: This parka is designed for adult males. Its primary function is outerwear for protection against weather. It is suitable for a wide range of activities from urban commuting to light outdoor pursuits.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the Gore-Tex fabric:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash with a mild detergent. Close all zippers and fastenings. Wash separately or with similar colors. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a clean towel until fully dry. This helps reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Re-waterproofing: If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
