Product Information
Full details
The Didriksons Akilles 3 Parka is a high-performance, insulated winter jacket designed for adults who need reliable protection against cold, wet, and windy urban or outdoor environments. It provides an exceptional balance of breathability and weatherproofing, though the heavy-duty construction means it is better suited for stationary or low-intensity winter activity rather than high-exertion sports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Akilles 3 Parka, proper care is essential. When the jacket gets dirty, follow the care label instructions; typically, this involves washing on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating. If the outer surface begins to 'wet out'—where water no longer beads off the fabric—you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain its shape and allow moisture to evaporate completely after use.
