Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, it features a hydrostatic head rating of over 16,000mm, making it highly waterproof and suitable for sustained heavy rain.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, it comes with an adjustable hood to provide extra protection during wet weather.

How should I wash this parka?

Use a technical wash for waterproof gear in cold water. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

What is the fit like?

It has a relaxed, cropped fit with a dropped hem. If you are between sizes or prefer extra room for heavy layers, consider your layering needs.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets have popper fastenings for security, but they are not fully sealed, so keep sensitive electronics in an internal zipped pocket if possible.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment to restore the water-beading surface.

Jacket feels stiff or noisy when moving

The 3-layer construction is designed for durability. Ensure the jacket is properly aired out and worn frequently, as the fabric will soften slightly with natural use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof rating (16,000mm+)
  • Durable 3-layer fabric with a soft-touch finish
  • Stylish cropped design with functional dropped hem
  • Comprehensive weather protection with storm flaps and taped seams

Cons

  • Cropped fit may leave more of the legs exposed in driving rain
  • Polyester material requires specific care to maintain waterproof membrane
  • Limited to one specific print and colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your parka maintains its performance levels, proper care is essential:

  1. Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical detergent designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the waterproof layer.
  2. Drying: Air dry in a shaded area. High heat from tumble dryers can damage the bonded layers of the fabric.
  3. Storage: Store hanging on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent the fabric from creasing or developing moisture-related odors.
  4. Compatibility: The relaxed fit makes it compatible with various mid-layers, but consider sizing up if you prefer a very loose, oversized look for layering underneath.
