FAQs

Is the parka hood removable?

The parka features an adjustable protective hood, but it is not designed to be removed.

Can I wear this in extreme cold?

Yes, with 120 g/m insulation, it is designed for cold winter conditions, though layering is recommended for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Does the parka run true to size?

The Eris Parka has a regular fit with an A-shaped silhouette. It is true to size, but the design provides enough room for standard winter layering underneath.

What does PFC-free mean?

It means the water-repellent finish used on the parka does not contain harmful perfluorinated chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.

Is this machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable at 40°C on a gentle cycle, but you should avoid fabric softeners and bleaching agents.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivation. Clean the jacket and tumble dry it on low heat for 15-20 minutes.

Feeling damp inside the parka during activity

While breathable, synthetic insulation can retain moisture if you are over-exerting. Try adjusting the front zipper or cuffs to increase ventilation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind and waterproof performance
  • Environmentally conscious insulation using recycled fibers
  • Highly adjustable fit at waist, cuffs, and hood
  • Durable construction suitable for daily winter use

Cons

  • Insulation weight may be too heavy for mild weather
  • A-shaped silhouette may not appeal to those seeking a boxy fit
  • Requires careful adherence to washing instructions to maintain water repellency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Didriksons Eris Parka maintains its protective qualities, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C. Use mild liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof membrane.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low temperature to help reactivate the water-repellent finish, or air dry in a well-ventilated space away from direct heat sources.
  3. Maintenance: Regularly check the exterior for dirt, which can block the breathability of the fabric. Wipe clean with a damp cloth if only lightly soiled.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the hood and shoulders.
