FAQs
Is this parka waterproof or water-resistant?
It is water-resistant, featuring a durable water-repellent coating that protects against light rain, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.
How should I choose my size?
The parka is designed with an oversized fit. If you prefer a more standard or fitted look, you may want to order one size smaller than your usual size.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting, which can actually help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The design features three exterior pockets, but no specific internal storage is noted.
What is the fishtail hem used for?
Originally designed for military parkas, the fishtail provides extra leg coverage while allowing for freedom of movement during walking or cycling.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh water-repellent spray treatment.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Check the track for debris and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth.
Jacket feels too baggy
Utilize the internal drawstring or adjustment points if available to cinch the waist, or consider sizing down if still within the return window.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your parka, it is essential to follow specific care instructions. The garment is made from high-quality polyester and should be washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent coating. To maintain the DWR properties, periodically tumble dry on a low setting or air dry. If you find the jacket losing its water resistance over time, you can re-apply a standard spray-on DWR treatment. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its structural shape, especially the hood and shoulder seams.
