Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the fur trim removable?

Yes, the synthetic fur on the hood is detachable, allowing for easier washing and style preference.

What does the 10,000 mm water column mean?

It indicates the fabric's resistance to water pressure; 10,000 mm is sufficient to keep you dry in heavy rain and wet snow.

Can I machine wash this parka?

Yes, you can machine wash it. Always follow the care label instructions and ensure all closures are fastened before washing.

Is this coat suitable for high-intensity sports?

While breathable, the heavy insulation is better suited for casual outdoor activities or trekking rather than high-intensity aerobic sports.

Does the parka provide wind protection?

Yes, the windproof construction combined with the high collar and padding provides a strong defense against cold gusts.

How should I store the parka during summer?

Store it on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the insulation in a vacuum bag for long periods to maintain its loft.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the outer fabric

The DWR treatment likely needs to be refreshed; wash the jacket and apply a high-quality DWR re-waterproofing spray.

Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate

Check for debris or grit in the zipper track and clear it; if it persists, use a specialized zipper lubricant or a candle to wax the teeth.

Feeling damp inside despite the jacket being waterproof

Ensure your base layers are moisture-wicking and not cotton; breathability is best achieved when air can circulate through technical fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your parka, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Always detach the synthetic fur before washing the garment to prevent damage to the trim. Close all zippers, buttons, and hook-and-loop fasteners before placing the item in the washing machine to avoid snagging. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof coating over time. To maintain the 10,000 mm water-repellent performance, it is recommended to occasionally re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing, following the manufacturer's specific instructions. Ensure the garment is stored in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the insulating padding.
