Product Information
Full details
The Didriksons Tempest is a robust, weather-protective parka designed for men who require reliable performance in harsh, unpredictable climates. Featuring 250 g/m² recycled polyester insulation and a fully water- and windproof construction with taped seams, it offers excellent warmth and protection. While it excels in utility and durability, the heavy-duty insulation makes it best suited for cold-weather environments rather than mild, temperate days.

FAQs
Is the hood removable?
No, the Didriksons Tempest features a fixed hood designed for optimal weather sealing.
Does the hood offer adjustments?
Yes, it includes a two-way adjustment system to ensure it stays in place during high winds.
Is this jacket suitable for skiing?
While it is waterproof and warm, it is designed more for general outdoor use. Its heavy insulation may be too warm for active skiing.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the water-repellent finish is free from perfluorinated chemicals, which are harmful to the environment.
How do I secure the cuffs?
The sleeves feature adjustable hook-and-loop tabs on the outside and comfortable elastic inner cuffs for a wind-tight seal.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The water-repellent finish likely needs refreshing. Clean the jacket and apply a PFC-free spray-on waterproofing treatment.
Front zipper feels stiff or sticks.
Clean the teeth of the zipper with a soft brush to remove debris or salt, then apply a small amount of zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This parka arrives ready to wear with no setup required. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the fabric, avoid using fabric softeners during laundering, as they can degrade the PFC-free repellent coating. When the jacket gets soiled, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent suited for waterproof garments. Always ensure the internal mesh and zipped pockets are emptied before washing. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry place to prevent the heavy padding from compressing unevenly over time.
