Full details

Its key benefit is superior waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance thanks to the MTD® membrane. A minor caveat is that while fashionable, it is primarily functional outerwear.

FAQs
What does MTD® stand for?
MTD® is a technical term referring to a waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane used in outdoor apparel.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is fixed but adjustable with a drawcord for a secure fit.
How do I check if the recycled polyester content is 50% or more?
The product description states that a minimum of 50% recycled polyester is used in the main fabric. Refer to the product label for specific material composition.
Can this parka be worn in very cold weather?
While it provides excellent protection against wind and rain, its warmth depends on the layers worn underneath. It is designed as a protective outer shell.
What is the best way to store the parka when not in use?
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged compression, such as in a tightly packed bag, to maintain the integrity of the membrane and fabric.
Does the long length make it difficult to sit down?
The double zip fastening allows you to unzip from the bottom, providing more room and ease of movement when sitting.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the seams.
Ensure the seams are clean and dry. If the DWR treatment has worn off, consider re-applying a suitable waterproofing spray or wash to the exterior fabric.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Parka feels less waterproof after several uses.
The DWR finish may need reapplication. Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions and then apply a waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your parka, please follow the care instructions on the product label carefully. Typically, this involves:
