Hazey Waterproof Beach Parka - Black

Yes, the Animal Hazey Waterproof Beach Parka is designed to offer protection against rain and elements, making it suitable for wet weather conditions typically encountered during beach outings and coastal adventures.

We recommend referring to the brand's sizing chart, usually available on the product page. Consider what you might wear underneath; if you plan to layer, you might prefer a slightly looser fit.

No, it is generally advised to avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of waterproof membranes and reduce the effectiveness of the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof garments instead.

'Borg lining' refers to a type of faux shearling or fleece lining that provides excellent warmth and a soft, plush feel, similar to sheep's wool.

The parka itself is waterproof. While the main fabric repels water, pockets are typically designed for storage and may not be fully sealed or taped to be completely submersible. It's best to use waterproof pouches for electronic devices or sensitive items if heavy rain is expected.

While designed to be waterproof and warm, the breathability of parkas can vary. It's suitable for active use in cooler conditions but might become warm during intense activity or in warmer temperatures due to its protective features.

Absolutely! While designed with coastal adventures in mind, its waterproof protection, warmth, and comfortable lining make it a versatile choice for any cold or wet weather activity, from city walks to hiking.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish can wear off with use and washing. Try reapplying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Ensure you are washing the parka according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners.

Always wash the parka on a gentle cycle with appropriate detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing or wringing. Air dry thoroughly, and gently brush the borg lining with a soft brush once dry to restore its fluffiness, if needed.

Ensure the parka is correctly sized for you. New waterproof garments can sometimes feel a bit stiff initially. With wear, it should become more pliable. Also, check that you are not layering too many bulky items underneath.
