What is the best way to clean the parka?

Can the water-repellency be restored if it wears off?

Yes, you can restore water-repellency by reapplying a DWR treatment, available separately. Follow the product instructions for application.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash according to care instructions to help restore water-repellency. Ensure it's not being used in heavy rain, as it is water-resistant, not fully waterproof.

Lining feels clammy or too warm.

This parka is designed for warmth after water activities. For very warm conditions, consider a lighter cover-up. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can help lubricate the zipper.
