FAQs
What does 'T-KIT compatible' mean?
T-KIT compatibility suggests that this parka can be used in conjunction with other Aigle products designed with the T-KIT system, likely to add extra insulation or features for different weather conditions. Specific compatible items are not detailed.
How do I clean the Gore-Tex fabric?
It is recommended to wash the parka according to the care label. Generally, use a mild detergent without fabric softener and rinse thoroughly. A machine wash on a gentle cycle with warm water is often suitable, followed by tumble drying on low heat to restore water repellency.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is designed to be removable and is also fitted with a drawcord for adjustment.
What type of pockets does this parka have?
The parka features a zip-up breast pocket, two hand pockets located under flaps with concealed press studs, and one inside breast pocket with a zip-up fastening.
Is this parka suitable for very cold weather?
The parka provides good protection against wind and cold due to its mid-length cut and Gore-Tex membrane. For extreme cold, consider utilizing its T-KIT compatibility for added insulation.
What material is the parka made from?
The parka is made from 100% polyester.
Are there reflective elements for safety?
Yes, the parka includes reflective details to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Parka is no longer waterproof.
Ensure the garment is clean. Wash according to care label instructions, using a technical wash. If water absorption persists, consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for Gore-Tex fabrics.
The hood is not fitting snugly.
Adjust the drawcord on the removable hood to achieve a tighter fit. Ensure the hood is correctly attached if it was removed.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.
Reduced breathability.
The membrane may be blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Clean the parka thoroughly following the care instructions for technical outdoor wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This parka requires no assembly. It is ready to wear out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
- T-KIT Compatible: While specific details are not provided, this feature suggests the parka can be integrated with other Aigle T-KIT compatible items, likely for enhanced insulation in colder weather.
Care Instructions:
- Material: 100% Polyester.
- Washing: Please refer to the care instructions on the product label for precise washing guidelines. Generally, polyester garments with Gore-Tex membranes benefit from specific washing techniques to maintain their performance. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane's pores.
- Drying: Typically, tumble drying on a low heat setting (following the care label) can help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric. Air drying is also an option.
- Water Repellency: If the DWR finish appears to be wearing off (water no longer beads on the surface), it may need to be reapplied using a specialized product, often available at outdoor gear retailers.
