Product Information
Full details
This Aigle Parka in Green, size XL, is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and durable mid-length coat. Its key benefit lies in its adaptability for all seasons, thanks to the T-Kit system for zip-in linings and a waterproof rating of 15000 schmerbers. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit of the fishtail back, though it is adjustable.

FAQs
Is the inner lining included with the parka?
No, the T-Kit inner linings are sold separately. They are designed to zip into the parka for added warmth.
What does a waterproof rating of 15000 schmerbers mean?
A rating of 15000 schmerbers indicates a high level of waterproofing, suitable for moderate to heavy rain and keeping you dry during extended exposure to wet conditions.
How do I adjust the fishtail back?
The fishtail back can be adjusted using the press studs located on the inside of the parka. You can fold and secure the fishtail to create a shorter, more traditional hemline.
Can I wear this parka in very cold weather?
Yes, the parka is designed to be worn in very cold weather when paired with a compatible T-Kit insulated lining. The outer shell provides wind and water protection.
What materials are used in the construction?
The outer fabric is primarily 100% polyester (Outer Fabric 1) and a blend of 71% cotton and 29% polyamide (Outer Fabric 2), with a 100% polyamide lining.
How do I clean the Aigle logo?
To clean the Aigle logo, iron on a low temperature setting inside out. Avoid ironing directly on the logo itself to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth, then gently work the zipper up and down.
Water is penetrating the fabric
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and press studs are fastened. If the issue persists after cleaning, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication. Use a specific reproofing spray suitable for technical outerwear.
The T-Kit lining does not attach correctly
Verify that the lining is designed to be compatible with the T-Kit system and specifically for this parka model. Ensure all attachment points (zippers and tabs) on both the parka and the lining are aligned correctly before attempting to zip them together.
Fishtail press studs are difficult to fasten
Ensure the fabric around the press studs is not bunched up. Press the studs firmly together, ensuring they align correctly before applying pressure.
