FAQs

How waterproof is the Animal Hazey Beach Parka?

The parka is tested to 2,000mm, which means it offers reliable protection against light rain, splashes, and general damp conditions. It is suitable for typical coastal weather but may not be fully impervious to very heavy or prolonged downpours.

Can I machine wash this parka?

Info needed: Specific washing instructions from the care label are crucial. Generally, waterproof garments with fleece lining require a gentle wash cycle with a technical cleaner, avoiding fabric softeners to maintain waterproofing.

What is the fleece lining made of?

The parka features a cosy borg fleece lining. Info needed: The exact composition of the borg fleece would be on the product label, but it's designed for warmth and comfort.

Is this parka suitable for winter use?

While it provides warmth with its fleece lining, it is primarily designed as a beach/coastal parka for changeable weather. For harsh winter conditions, you might need a parka with a higher insulation rating and more robust waterproofing.

What are the side pockets best used for?

The two convenient side pockets are ideal for keeping hands warm or storing small essentials like keys, a phone, or a small wallet, offering quick and easy access.

What does 'Recycled Fabric' mean for me as a user?

Using recycled fabric means the parka incorporates materials derived from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, reducing the demand for new raw materials and contributing to environmental sustainability. You benefit from a product that's more eco-conscious.

Troubleshooting

Parka feels less warm than expected

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath, especially in colder temperatures. The parka provides excellent insulation but layering enhances warmth.

Water appears to be seeping through in heavy rain

The parka is waterproof to 2,000mm, suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged heavy downpours, a higher waterproof rating might be necessary. Check if water is entering through openings like the collar or cuffs.

Hood keeps falling down or doesn't stay secure

Utilize the adjustable features of the hood. Tighten drawstrings or adjust any toggles to create a snug fit around your head, preventing it from slipping off in windy conditions.

Pockets feel damp or items inside get wet

While the parka is waterproof, the side pockets are designed for convenience and might not be fully sealed against heavy ingress of water if submerged or exposed to extreme conditions. For sensitive electronics, use a waterproof pouch inside the pocket.
