FAQs

What makes the Gore-Tex membrane effective?

The Gore-Tex membrane is a microporous material that is both waterproof and breathable. It allows water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside while preventing liquid water (rain) from penetrating from the outside.

Can I wear this parka in very cold weather?

The long cut provides extra protection against cold. For very cold temperatures, layering with insulating clothing underneath is recommended.

How do I ensure the reflective details remain effective?

The reflective details are durable but can be affected by excessive abrasion or improper washing. Follow the care instructions carefully, avoiding harsh detergents and high heat drying.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is adjustable and can be removed, offering versatility depending on weather conditions and user preference.

What is the benefit of the 2-layer technology?

The 2-layer technology allows for a greater range of motion compared to some heavier constructions, making the parka comfortable for active use while maintaining its protective qualities.

Can this parka be used for strenuous activities like running?

While breathable, the long cut and design are more suited for activities like walking, hiking, or commuting rather than high-intensity running where maximum freedom of movement is paramount.

What size should I choose if I normally wear XXL?

This specific model is in XXXL. Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for Aigle garments to ensure the best fit, considering the intended layering underneath.

Troubleshooting

Parka is no longer waterproof

Ensure the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment is active. Wash the parka and tumble dry on a medium setting. If water still soaks into the fabric, reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Reduced breathability

The Gore-Tex membrane may be blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash the parka with a technical garment cleaner or a small amount of liquid detergent (no powder or fabric softener) and rinse thoroughly. Ensure all detergent is removed.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Clean any debris from the teeth. Apply a wax-based product or a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth to help it slide smoothly.

Hood adjustment is difficult

Ensure the drawstrings are not tangled. Check that the hood is correctly attached if it was removed. Try adjusting in dry conditions before facing rain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This parka requires no assembly. It is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure the hood is adjusted or removed as needed before use.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males. While the Gore-Tex technology is compatible with various activities, its long cut might influence preference for specific sports or movements.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners. Rinse twice.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a medium or low heat setting to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. Remove promptly after drying.
  • Water Repellency: If water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing and drying, following product instructions. Reapply as needed to maintain performance.
  • Zippers & Closures: Fasten zippers and Velcro closures before washing to prevent damage.
