Product Information

Full details

The Didriksons Tempest Waterproof Parka is designed for active adults who need reliable protection against harsh, unpredictable weather. This parka features 15,000 mm waterproof protection and heavy-duty synthetic insulation, making it an excellent choice for winter hiking, commuting, or outdoor work in freezing temperatures. While its robust build offers superior thermal comfort, the substantial insulation and durable shell mean it is best suited for cold climates rather than mild spring weather.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this parka machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying.

What does the 15,000 mm water column rating mean?

It indicates that the fabric can withstand 15,000 mm of water pressure over 24 hours without leaking, making it suitable for very heavy rain and wet snow.

Does this jacket provide protection against wind?

Yes, the Tempest Parka is fully windproof, preventing cold air from penetrating the shell.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is fixed, but it is two-way adjustable to provide a secure fit around the head.

Are the materials sustainable?

The parka uses recycled synthetic insulation and is treated with a PFC-free water-repellent finish.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer shell fabric

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivation. Clean the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray or tumble dry on low heat.

Front zipper feels stiff or sticks

Clear any debris or grit from the zipper track. Use a light zipper lubricant or silicone spray if the slider remains difficult to move.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional water and wind protection
  • High-loft warmth suitable for freezing conditions
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during movement
  • Practical pocket layout for secure storage

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity activity in warm weather
  • Synthetic fill is heavier than high-end down alternatives
  • Fixed hood cannot be removed for a sleeker profile

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the parka's integrity, ensure that all zippers are closed before washing. Wash the garment on a gentle cycle at a low temperature to protect the water-repellent finish. Do not use fabric softener, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane. After washing, low-heat tumble drying is recommended to reactivate the water-repellent properties of the shell. Periodically check the taped seams for any signs of wear to ensure the garment remains fully waterproof over time.
