FAQs

Is this parka suitable for heavy rain?

The 'Misty' Parka is treated with DWR and is ideal for light rain or limited exposure to wet conditions. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof garment would be more appropriate.

Can kids change their clothes easily while wearing this?

Yes, the parka is designed with generous sizing specifically to allow children to get changed discreetly underneath it.

What material is the parka made of?

The parka is crafted from polyester with a cozy lining.

How should I wash the parka?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.

How long does the water-repellent treatment last?

The durability of the DWR treatment varies with use and washing. It is recommended to reapply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain optimal water resistance.

Is this parka warm enough for winter?

The parka has a cozy lining to provide warmth after water activities or in cool weather. For very cold winter conditions, layering may be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Water beading less effectively

The durable water repellent (DWR) treatment may be wearing off. Reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore water resistance, following product instructions.

Parka feels damp inside after light rain

Ensure the DWR treatment is active. Also, check that zippers and seams are fully closed, as these can be points of entry for water in prolonged or heavier rain than the parka is designed for.

Lining feels less soft

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can degrade the fabric's performance and softness over time. Wash according to care instructions.
