Product Information

Full details

The Kangol Short Parka Ld54 in Black is designed for adult females seeking practical weather protection in a stylish, waist-length jacket. Its key benefit lies in its effective resistance to water and wind without being bulky. A potential consideration is its specific design, which may not suit those looking for full-length coverage. Key features include DWR-treated fabric, multiple pockets, and a full-zip closure with an integrated hood.

FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The Kangol Short Parka Ld54 is best suited for light rain, wind, and cool, transitional weather. It's designed for everyday protection rather than extreme cold or heavy downpours.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

While it can be layered, this jacket is not designed as a heavy winter coat. It offers wind and water resistance but limited insulation. For very cold weather, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended.

How do I wash the jacket to preserve its water resistance?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Reapply a DWR treatment if water repellency decreases significantly.

What does 'DWR-treated' mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry in light rain and protecting against wind.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features three pockets for secure storage.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket has a full-zip closure with an integrated hood, providing adaptable coverage, but the hood itself is not explicitly described as adjustable.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the fabric surface.

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Consider washing the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the existing treatment. If this doesn't help, reapply a commercial DWR treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax (like graphite from a pencil) to the teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside after light rain.

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up, including the hood. The DWR finish may need reactivation or reapplication if it's significantly degraded. Check that the jacket is not overly saturated, as excessive moisture can eventually seep through.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective water and wind resistance for everyday protection.
  • Lightweight and non-bulky design for comfort and mobility.
  • Practical storage with three secure pockets.
  • Adaptable coverage with a full-zip and hood.

Cons

  • Limited coverage due to its short, waist-length design.
  • May not provide sufficient warmth for very cold weather.
  • Water resistance may diminish over time with wear and washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Kangol Short Parka Ld54 requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of packaging.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult women and pairs well with a variety of casual outfits. It is suitable for layering over different types of tops.

Care Instructions: To maintain the water and wind-resistant properties of the fabric, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron.
  3. Re-treating: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may wear off. For best performance, consider re-applying a DWR treatment spray designed for outdoor apparel after several washes, following the product's specific instructions.
