Product Information
Full details
This Aigle MTD® Short Adjustable Waist Parka is designed for adult women seeking a stylish and functional outerwear piece for unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is providing reliable waterproof and windproof protection while allowing for a customized fit thanks to the adjustable waistband. A minor consideration is that its short length may not offer full coverage in heavy downpours. Key features include a high-performance waterproof fabric, a fixed hood with adjustable visor, multiple pockets, and water-tight seams, all crafted with a focus on refined design and comfort.

FAQs
What does 'MTD®' mean?
MTD® is a technology developed by Aigle that ensures the fabric is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, providing protection against the elements.
What is the waterproof rating of this parka?
The parka has a waterproof rating of 10,000 Schmerber, indicating a high level of resistance to water penetration.
Can I adjust the hood?
Yes, the fixed hood features an adjustable visor to help protect your face from rain and wind.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The parka includes an adjustable waistband with a drawcord and drawstring ties, allowing you to customize the fit around your waist. Refer to the size chart for selecting the correct initial size.
Is this parka suitable for very cold weather?
This parka offers good protection against wind and rain. For very cold temperatures, it is designed to be layered with warmer clothing underneath, such as sweaters or fleece.
What makes the cotton organic?
The cotton used is from organic farming, which means it is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs, and with minimal impact on biodiversity.
Can I wear this in heavy, continuous rain?
With its 10,000 Schmerber rating and water-tight seams, the parka offers significant protection for extended periods. However, the short length means full leg coverage is not provided.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the fabric surface.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket and follow the instructions for a DWR treatment product.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider. You can apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a candle) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Check that the DWR treatment is still effective. If not, reapply. Ensure all seams are properly sealed and free from damage. Significant seam damage may require professional repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This parka requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women. Refer to the size chart for the best fit. The MTD® technology is compatible with standard waterproof apparel care practices.
Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and performance of the waterproof fabric, please follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a specialized technical fabric detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh stain removers, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and coating.
- Rinsing: Ensure thorough rinsing to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to the product's instructions to restore water repellency. This can often be done during the drying cycle.
