What is the water column rating of the Falke Parka?

The Falke Parka has a water column rating of 10,000mm, indicating good protection against rain and snow.

What is the breathability rating?

The breathability rating is 5,000 g/m²/24h, which is suitable for everyday wear but may be less ideal for high-intensity activities.

How should I clean the parka?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with the zipper closed and inside out. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Can the hood be detached?

No, the hood is fixed to the garment for maximum protection against the elements.

What type of insulation does the parka have?

The parka is insulated with 100 g/m² padding for warmth.

Does the parka have reflective elements?

Yes, it features a reflective logo print to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

Are there internal pockets?

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the placket is aligned correctly. Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant along the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper area if debris is present.

Water is not beading off the fabric.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear after washing and drying the garment.

Seams feel damp after prolonged exposure to rain.

While the jacket has a 10,000mm water column, heavy, prolonged rainfall might eventually saturate the fabric. Ensure all zippers and closures are fully secured. For extreme conditions, consider additional waterproof layers.

Hood adjustment is not secure.

Check that the drawcords are properly threaded and the toggles are functioning correctly. Ensure you are pulling the drawcords evenly to achieve a snug fit.
