Product Information
Full details
The Aigle MTD® Short Hooded Fishtail Parka is designed for women seeking a stylish and functional outerwear piece that offers excellent weather protection. Its key benefit lies in its MTD® technology, providing waterproof and windproof capabilities without compromising on a classic, timeless look. A potential consideration is its short length, which may not offer full coverage in very heavy downpours.

FAQs
What does MTD® technology mean?
MTD® technology signifies that the fabric is waterproof and windproof, offering protection from the elements while maintaining a degree of breathability.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is integral to the parka, meaning it is permanently attached, but it is adjustable for a better fit.
Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?
Yes, the adjustable waist and comfortable fit allow for layering with thinner to moderately thick sweaters. The Thermo-kit closure is specifically designed for integrating an inner jacket for colder conditions.
What material is the parka made from?
The parka is made from 62% cotton and 38% polyamide. The cotton used is from organic farming.
How do I clean the parka?
Refer to the product's care label. Typically, it involves machine washing on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, rinsing thoroughly, and line drying. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning.
What is the waterproof rating?
The waterproof column rating is 5000 Schmerber.
Where was this parka manufactured?
The weaving, dyeing, printing, and tailoring processes originate from China.
Does the Thermo-kit closure come with an inner jacket?
No, the inner jacket for the Thermo-kit closure is not included and must be purchased separately. It is designed for integration with specific Aigle inner jackets.
Troubleshooting
Parka is no longer fully waterproof.
Check that all seams are intact. Clean the garment according to care instructions and consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics.
Hood adjustment is difficult.
Ensure the drawcord is not tangled or obstructed. Gently work the cord through the toggles to loosen or tighten.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently pull the zipper while checking for any fabric caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Fishtail hem is uneven.
Ensure the jacket is laid flat. The fishtail is a design element and may naturally have a slightly longer appearance at the back. If it appears significantly uneven, check for any internal or external obstructions.
