FAQs
Is this parka machine washable?
Yes, but use a cold, delicate cycle with a gentle detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
The parka is primarily a wind and rain shell. While it offers protection from the elements, it is designed for layering and may require a warm sweater underneath in freezing temperatures.
What does MTD stand for?
MTD stands for Marine Technical Design, Aigle's signature technology for waterproof, windproof, and breathable gear.
Are the seams taped?
Yes, the garment features heat-sealed, waterproof seams to prevent water from leaking through the stitching.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is an integral part of the parka design for better weather protection.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may need refreshing; wash the garment and apply a technical waterproofing spray meant for breathable membranes.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to slide
Clean any debris or salt buildup from the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a candle wax stick to the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your parka remains waterproof, it is important to follow proper care instructions. The garment should be washed in cold water on a delicate cycle using mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners which can clog the breathable MTD membrane. It is recommended to air dry the parka away from direct heat sources. To maintain the waterproof exterior, consider applying a technical garment waterproofing spray once the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish begins to lose effectiveness. Ensure all press-studs and zippers are closed during storage to keep the garment's shape.
