Full details
The Parajumpers Long Bear Parka is designed for adults seeking robust warmth and protection in cold climates. Its key benefit is providing reliable insulation with a durable, waterproof, and wind-resistant exterior, making it ideal for harsh weather. A potential consideration is its longline fit, which may require attention to styling for some individuals. Key features include 700 fill-power down insulation, a detachable lambskin hood trim, and a long parka silhouette.

FAQs
What temperature range is this parka suitable for?
The parka is rated Level 3, indicating it is suitable for cold climates. It is designed for temperatures significantly below freezing, thanks to its 700 fill-power down.
Can I wash the parka in a washing machine?
It is strongly advised against machine washing due to the down filling and delicate materials. Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method for cleaning.
How do I detach the lambskin trim?
The lambskin trim is typically attached with a series of buttons or a zipper around the hood's edge. Carefully check the attachment points and detach it gently following the garment's design.
What does '700 fill power' mean?
Fill power is a measure of the down's loft or fluffiness. 700 fill power indicates high-quality down that provides excellent insulation relative to its weight.
Is the parka truly waterproof or water-resistant?
The parka has a water resistance rating of 10,000 mm, which is considered waterproof for most practical purposes, and its Oxford nylon shell combined with sealed seams offers significant protection against rain and snow.
How does the longline fit affect usability?
The longline fit provides extended coverage for warmth but might feel slightly restrictive for very dynamic activities. It offers a stylish silhouette and good protection for the thighs and seat.
Troubleshooting
Down lofting unevenly
This is normal after compression during shipping or storage. Gently shake the garment to redistribute the down. For significant clumping, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth and gently work the zipper up and down.
Outer fabric feels damp after rain
Check if all seams are sealed and zippers are fully closed. Minor dampness might be from condensation if ventilation is insufficient. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
