FAQs

How do I clean my Hikesteller Parka?

Machine wash cold with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry low.

Is the jacket waterproof?

Yes, it is waterproof, thanks to the DryVent™ technology and a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish.

Can I wear this jacket in all weather conditions?

While it provides versatile protection, it's best suited for cold and wet conditions. It may be too warm for milder weather.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood has an easy one-hand adjustment. Use the pull cords to tighten or loosen the hood for a secure fit.

What kind of insulation does the jacket have?

The jacket uses lightweight synthetic insulation to keep you warm.

How do I store the parka?

Store the parka in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR finish needs to be reapplied. Wash and tumble dry the jacket following care instructions, then apply a DWR treatment.

The hood adjustment is not working properly.

Check for any obstructions in the adjustment mechanism. Ensure the cord locks are functioning correctly.

The jacket feels less warm than expected.

Check that the jacket is properly zipped up and that the cuffs and hood are adjusted correctly to seal out cold air. Consider layering additional clothing if the weather is extremely cold.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent waterproof and windproof protection.
  • Warm synthetic insulation.

  • Comfortable design suitable for backpack use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no specific "setup" required for the parka. However, to ensure optimal performance and longevity, follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Tumble dry low. For best results, add a tennis ball to the dryer to help restore the loft of the insulation.
  • Waterproofing: The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish will eventually wear off with use. To restore the water repellency, reapply a DWR treatment after washing. Follow the product's instructions for application.
  • Storage: Store the parka in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain the insulation's effectiveness.
