Product Information

Full details

This Woolrich Arctic Parka in Black (Medium) is designed for adult men seeking robust protection against intense cold (-20°C to -10°C) with a blend of style and functionality. Its key benefit lies in superior warmth and weather resistance, thanks to its Ramar Cloth fabric with Teflon coating and duck down insulation. A potential caveat is the use of real fur trim on the hood, which may not suit all preferences. Key features include its iconic design inspired by the 1972 Arctic Parka, water and wind resistance, a detachable fur trim, multiple storage pockets, and a flattering regular fit with a waist drawstring.

FAQs

What is the temperature rating for this parka?

This parka is rated for intense cold, specifically between -20°C and -10°C.

Can the fur trim on the hood be removed?

Yes, the real fur trim around the hood is detachable, allowing for versatile styling and easier care.

What materials is the parka made from?

The outer shell is made of 60% cotton and 40% polyamide (Ramar Cloth). The lining is 100% polyamide, and the padding is 80% grey duck down and 20% feathers.

How should I clean the parka?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the quality of the fabric and down insulation. Always refer to the care label on the garment for specific instructions.

Is the parka suitable for heavy rain?

The parka is water-resistant due to its Ramar Cloth fabric and Teflon coating, making it suitable for rain and snow. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof garment might be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the provided size chart which includes measurements for chest, shoulders, sleeve length, and overall length for different sizes (S to XXXL).

What does 'Ramar Cloth' mean?

Ramar Cloth is Woolrich's signature fabric blend, typically combining cotton and polyamide, known for its durability and weather-resistant properties, often enhanced with coatings like Teflon.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the down is evenly distributed. If the jacket has been compressed for storage, gently fluff it to restore loft. Check that all zippers and closures are fully sealed and that the hood is worn properly to maximize insulation.

Outer fabric is losing water repellency.

The Teflon coating may need refreshing. Consider using a reproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor wear after consulting the care label. Professional cleaning might also restore some water repellency.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Detachable fur trim is not fitting correctly.

Ensure the fur trim is being attached to the correct points on the hood. Check for any obstructions or misalignments on the attachment points (e.g., buttons, snaps, or zipper).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Due to the duck down filling and Ramar Cloth fabric, professional dry cleaning is generally recommended to maintain the integrity and performance of the jacket.
  • Fur Trim: The real fur trim can typically be detached before cleaning. Follow specific instructions provided on the garment's care label for cleaning the fur separately.
  • Storage: Store the parka in a cool, dry place, ideally on a breathable garment bag, to allow the down to retain its loft and insulating properties.
  • Water Resistance: While treated for water resistance, re-treatment of the fabric may be necessary over time and after multiple cleanings to maintain optimal performance.
