Product Information
Full details
This Adidas Parka is designed for adult males seeking reliable warmth and protection during cold winter days. Its key benefit lies in its lightweight down insulation and water-repellent finish, providing maximum warmth without bulk and keeping you dry in light rain and snow. A potential caveat is that it's best suited for light precipitation and moderate cold, not heavy downpours or extreme freezing temperatures. Key features include CLIMAWARM technology for heat retention and moisture-wicking, a regular fit for comfort, and a durable water-repellent coating.

FAQs
What is CLIMAWARM?
CLIMAWARM is an Adidas technology that uses insulating materials to trap body heat and manage moisture, keeping you warm, dry, and comfortable in cold weather.
How much down is in the jacket?
The insulation is composed of 80% duck down and 20% feathers, with a fill power of 600.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that sheds light rain and snow. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged rainfall. For such conditions, a waterproof jacket is recommended.
How do I wash the parka?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore insulation loft.
What does '600 Fill Power' mean?
Fill Power is a measure of the loft or 'fluffiness' of the down. A higher fill power indicates better insulation quality for its weight. 600 is considered good for general cold-weather use.
Can I wear layers under this parka?
Yes, the regular fit is designed to accommodate layers underneath, such as a t-shirt or a light sweater, for added warmth.
How should I dry the parka after washing?
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls. The tennis balls help to break up clumps of down and restore the insulation's original loft and warmth.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the down insulation is not compressed. If it feels flat after washing, tumble dry on low with clean tennis balls to restore loft. Check that all zippers and closures are fully sealed.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outerwear. For heavy rain, consider this parka as a mid-layer and use a fully waterproof outer shell.
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to pull the zipper tab. If it's caught on fabric, carefully free the material. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if it continues to be stiff.
Jacket has an odor
Wash the jacket according to care instructions with a mild detergent. Ensure it is thoroughly dried, as dampness can lead to odors. Airing the jacket out can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear.
Compatibility: Designed as outerwear for adult males. It pairs well with casual or athletic wear. The regular fit accommodates various body types and allows for layering underneath.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Use a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls. This helps to re-fluff the down insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Water-Repellency: The DWR finish may diminish over time with washing and wear. Reapply a DWR treatment if water no longer beads off the fabric. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and insulation.
