FAQs

Is this parka suitable for heavy rain?

The Parka Eiffel East is designed to be waterproof and breathable, offering good protection against light rain and wind. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket might be necessary.

How do I pack the windbreaker into its back pocket?

To pack the windbreaker, turn it inside out and fold it into a compact shape, then tuck it into the large pocket located on the back of the jacket. This feature makes it extremely convenient for travel.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean?

Recycled polyamide is a synthetic material made from post-consumer or post-industrial waste that has been processed and regenerated into nylon fibers. Using it helps conserve resources and reduce waste, making the garment more sustainable.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This windbreaker is primarily designed for protection against wind and light rain. For cold weather, it can be layered over warmer clothing like sweaters or fleece jackets to provide an effective outer shell.

What is the return policy mentioned in the description?

The description indicates that customers can return items for free within 14 days if they are not satisfied.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is fixed and integrated into the jacket design. It is, however, adjustable with elasticated drawstrings for a better fit.

What specific K-Way details does the jacket feature?

The jacket features the iconic K-Way logo printed on the chest and the signature K-Way zip.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth and try moving the zipper again.

Fabric seems to have lost some water repellency.

Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can affect water repellency. Consider applying a reproofing spray suitable for synthetic fabrics, following the product's instructions.

Hood drawstrings are tangled or difficult to adjust.

Carefully untangle the drawstrings. If they are permanently knotted, seek professional repair or consider replacing them.

Garment has an unusual smell after washing.

Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing. If the smell persists, try re-washing with a mild detergent and ensure thorough rinsing. Air dry in a well-ventilated area.
