Product Information
Full details
This Aigle Long 2-Layer Parka in Green (Size M) is designed for adult males seeking a stylish and functional outerwear piece to brave the elements. Its key benefit is providing optimal waterproofing and breathability thanks to the Gore-Tex membrane, ensuring comfort in wet conditions. A potential caveat is that its long cut, while offering protection, might be less practical for highly agile activities where maximum freedom of movement is prioritized.

FAQs
Is this parka suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The parka offers good protection against wind and cold due to its long cut and 2-layer construction. For extremely cold temperatures, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.
How do I ensure the Gore-Tex remains effective?
Regular cleaning according to the provided care instructions is crucial. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners. Reactivating the DWR finish through drying or reapplication helps maintain water repellency.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is designed to be both adjustable and removable, offering flexibility based on weather conditions and personal preference.
What does '2-layer technology' mean?
The 2-layer technology refers to the construction where the Gore-Tex membrane is laminated to the outer fabric, and a separate protective inner lining is used. This construction typically offers good durability and comfort, allowing for freedom of movement.
Are the reflective details effective in all lighting conditions?
The reflective details are designed to bounce light back towards the source, significantly increasing visibility in low-light conditions such as dawn, dusk, or when illuminated by headlights. They are most effective when directly illuminated.
What is the material composition of the parka?
The parka is made of 100% polyester. Please refer to the product's care label for the most precise material breakdown.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the garment and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate it. If this doesn't help, reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions.
The parka feels clammy inside.
This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and detergent residue can clog the Gore-Tex membrane. Check care labels and wash/rinse thoroughly.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper for smoother operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This parka requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, its sizing (available in S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL) ensures a suitable fit for a range of body types. It is compatible with various outdoor and urban activities.
Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and performance of the Gore-Tex fabric, please adhere to the following general care guidelines. Always refer to the specific care label on the product for the most accurate instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can clog the Gore-Tex membrane's pores and reduce breathability.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly, preferably twice, to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for about 20 minutes to help reactivate the water-repellent finish (DWR). If you do not have a tumble dryer, you can also air dry the garment and then iron it on a low setting (around 40°C/104°F) with a towel between the iron and the garment.
- Re-waterproofing: Over time, the DWR finish on the outer fabric will wear off. You can reapply a DWR treatment (available from outdoor gear specialists) after washing and drying to restore water repellency.
