FAQs

What does T-KIT compatible mean?

T-KIT compatibility means the parka has an integrated system allowing you to zip in specific compatible Aigle inner jackets or liners, effectively creating a warmer, layered garment suitable for colder conditions.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX parka?

Always refer to the product's care label. Generally, machine wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle with zippers closed. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting if needed. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect breathability and water repellency.

Will this parka keep me completely dry in heavy rain?

Yes, GORE-TEX fabric is designed to be waterproof, providing excellent protection against heavy rain. Ensure all zippers are closed and the hood is properly adjusted for maximum protection.

How do I reapply the water repellency (DWR)?

After washing and drying, you can reapply DWR using a spray-on treatment or a wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Follow the instructions on the DWR product.

Does the parka release microfibers?

Yes, as a polyester garment, it can release plastic microfibers into the environment when washed. To minimize this, wash less frequently and consider using a specialized microplastic-catching laundry bag.

What is the length of the parka?

The parka is described as mid-length, offering coverage below the waist but typically above the knee, providing a balance between protection and mobility.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.

Water is not beading on the outer fabric.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Follow the care instructions for washing and consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment suitable for GORE-TEX products.

Parka feels less breathable than usual.

Check for blockages in ventilation areas (if any) and ensure the inner lining is clean. A deep clean following care instructions might restore breathability.
