FAQs
What does RDS certified mean?
RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard. It certifies that the down and feathers used in the product come from animals that have been treated according to high animal welfare and ethical standards.
How do I attach or remove the fur hood?
The fur trim is attached to the hood via a zipper. To remove, carefully unzip the fur trim from the hood. To reattach, align the zipper and zip it closed.
Can this parka be worn in mild winter temperatures?
While highly insulating, the parka can be worn in milder temperatures by unzipping the front or layering with lighter clothing underneath. However, its primary design is for extreme cold.
What is the waterproof rating?
The parka features a 5K waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand 5,000mm of water in a 24-hour period, offering good protection against rain and snow.
How should I store the parka when not in use?
Store the parka loosely in a breathable garment bag or on a hanger. Avoid storing it compressed in a plastic bag, as this can damage the down insulation.
What is the primary material of the parka shell?
The shell is made of polyester, providing durability and acting as the base for the waterproof and breathable membrane.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems reduced
Ensure the outer fabric is clean. Dirt and oils can affect water repellency. Re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may be necessary after extensive use.
Down loft is flattened after washing
The down may not be fully dry. Ensure the parka is completely dry by tumble drying on low heat with tennis balls, which help break up clumps and restore loft.
Zipper is sticking
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
