FAQs

What is the intended use for this parka?

This parka is designed for daily use in transitional seasons (spring and autumn) for protection against harsh and unpredictable weather, particularly rain.

How should I determine my size?

The parka has a true-to-size, oversized fit. If you prefer a more fitted look, it is recommended to size down. For reference, the center back measurement for Size S is 92cm and the sleeve length from the neck point is 76cm.

Is the parka suitable for very cold weather?

The parka is lightweight and designed for transitional seasons. While it offers protection from wind and rain, it does not provide significant insulation for extreme cold. Layering underneath is recommended for colder conditions.

How do I clean the parka?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (85°F) with a non-biological liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softeners, iron, or dry clean.

What material is the parka made from?

The parka is made from Polyester with a full mesh body lining for breathability.

Can I adjust the fit of the parka?

Yes, the parka features a stylish oversized shape with a cinchable waist that allows for a customizable and adjustable fit.

What does 'welded seam construction' mean?

Welded seam construction means the seams are sealed, typically with heat and adhesive, to create a completely waterproof barrier, preventing water from seeping through the stitching.

Troubleshooting

Parka no longer repelling water effectively

Ensure the garment has been washed correctly according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners and using a suitable detergent. Re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may also be necessary if performance has significantly degraded after extensive use.

Mesh lining feels uncomfortable

The mesh lining is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath. If the mesh feels abrasive, check for loose threads or manufacturing defects. Consider wearing a long-sleeved base layer.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
