Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your parka, it is important to follow proper care protocols. Always follow the garment's wash label, typically recommending low-temperature machine washing with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane and the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish. Because the parka features a PFC-free water-repellent coating, you may notice water stops beading on the surface after extensive wear; in this case, a wash-in or spray-on re-proofer can be used to reactivate the protective layer. Always hang the coat to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the synthetic padding.
