Women's long hooded raincoat Aigle MTD® - XXL

MTD® is a proprietary technology providing a waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane. The '2-layer' construction typically means the membrane is bonded to the outer fabric, with a separate inner lining for comfort and protection.

The MTD® 2-layer membrane offers good protection for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme and prolonged downpours, its performance may be comparable to other mid-range waterproof jackets, but it is designed to keep you dry in typical wet weather.

If water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric and instead soaks in, it's time to reapply a DWR treatment. You can test this by sprinkling a little water on the fabric.

While the jacket is breathable, it is designed for protection against the elements. In warmer, humid conditions, you may find it too warm. It is best suited for cool, wet, or windy weather, potentially with lighter layers underneath in milder temperatures.

This is a 'long' parka, meaning it is designed to extend below the hips, typically covering a significant portion of the thighs for enhanced protection.

Use the drawcord and cord tightener located on the hood to cinch it closer to your head. Adjust it so that it fits snugly without restricting your vision, effectively blocking wind and rain from entering.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Follow care instructions to wash and consider applying a technical fabric reproofer to restore water repellency.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently try lubricating the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Close zippers before washing to prevent damage.

The pores in the membrane may be blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, ensuring all detergent is rinsed out. Avoid fabric softeners.

Check the cord lock mechanism for damage. If intact, ensure the cord is threaded correctly. For minor wear, you can tie a knot in the cord to shorten it.
