Product Information
Full details
The Sweaty Betty Motion Waterproof Cropped Parka is designed for the active woman who refuses to let inclement weather interrupt her outdoor pursuits. By combining a technical hydrostatic head rating of over 16,000mm with a stylish, cropped silhouette, it provides reliable protection from rain without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. While it offers premium waterproof performance through its 3-layer construction, potential buyers should note that the cropped length may provide less coverage than traditional full-length parkas during heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed, but it is best to use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical wash to preserve the waterproof coating.
What is the hydrostatic head rating?
The parka features a rating of over 16,000mm, which is considered highly waterproof for outdoor use.
Does the hood provide good coverage?
The parka is designed with a protective hood to shield you from rain, though it is not helmet-compatible.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The parka provides excellent wind and rain protection, but since it is a shell, you will need to layer it with thermal clothing for warmth in freezing temperatures.
What material is the parka made of?
It is crafted from a high-quality 3-layer polyester fabric that feels soft like cotton but performs like a technical shell.
Troubleshooting
Water beading is no longer occurring on the surface
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be refreshed with a technical garment spray after a wash.
Interior feels damp after extended use
While waterproof, the garment can accumulate condensation during high-exertion activities. Ensure you use the adjustable tabs to allow for better ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your parka maintains its performance, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof membrane. It is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle and hang it to dry. The jacket fits true to size for a comfortable layering experience; however, if you plan on wearing bulky sweaters underneath, you may want to consider your layering strategy. Always ensure all poppers and the front zip are fully secured before heading out into the rain to maximize the storm-proofing features.
