FAQs

What type of weather is this parka best suited for?

The Falke Parka is ideal for cool to cold autumn and winter weather, providing protection against rain, wind, and moderate cold. It is not intended for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the Didriksons sizing chart for accurate measurements. Pay attention to chest, waist, and sleeve length. The adjustable features allow for some customization once you have the base size.

Can I machine wash the parka?

Yes, you can machine wash the parka on a gentle cycle at 40°C (104°F). Avoid using fabric softener and tumble dry on low heat.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is fixed to the garment for maximum protection against the elements.

What does 'Water Column: 10,000mm' mean?

A water column of 10,000mm indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a column of water 10,000mm high before it starts to leak. This signifies good to very good water resistance, suitable for moderate rain.

Are there any reflective elements for safety?

Yes, the parka features a reflective logo print to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

What is the 'fishtail' back feature?

The fishtail back is a design element where the back of the parka is longer than the front and shaped like a fishtail. It provides extended coverage and a distinctive style.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The water-repellent finish may need refreshing. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's guidelines.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently run a graphite pencil or a bit of wax along the teeth of the zipper to help it slide more smoothly.

Hood adjustment is not holding.

Check that the drawcords and toggles are properly secured. If they are worn, they may need replacing.

Jacket feels damp inside.

While the jacket is breathable, intense activity in humid conditions can lead to internal moisture. Ensure zippers and cuffs are properly closed to maximize protection and consider wearing moisture-wicking layers underneath.
