Product Information
Full details
The Didriksons Erika Parka in Brown is designed for adult females seeking a stylish and highly functional jacket for outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is robust protection against water and wind while maintaining breathability. A potential consideration is that the faux fur trim, while stylish, may require specific care. This parka offers a blend of refined design and performance, featuring waterproof and windproof construction with sealed seams, a breathable material, a two-way zipper, and adjustable elements for a personalized fit. It also includes practical features like a removable hood trim and multiple pockets.

FAQs
Is the faux fur trim on the hood genuinely real fur?
No, the trim is made of synthetic faux fur.
What is the water column rating of this parka?
The water column rating is 10,000mm.
How do I clean the parka if it gets dirty?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softener.
Can I remove the hood entirely, not just the fur trim?
The product description specifies that the synthetic fur trim is removable, but it does not mention the hood itself being detachable.
What are the dimensions of the inner mesh pockets?
Specific dimensions for the inner mesh pockets are not provided in the product details.
Is this parka suitable for extreme cold?
The parka has 180 g/m² padding and is waterproof/windproof, making it suitable for cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering underneath is recommended.
What does the 'two-way zipper' feature allow?
The two-way zipper can be opened from both the top and bottom, offering flexibility for ventilation and ease of movement, especially when sitting.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or paraffin) to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear and not caught.
Water is seeping through seams
Check that all seams are properly sealed. If the jacket's water repellency has diminished, consider re-waterproofing the fabric according to manufacturer guidelines.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy
Ensure the inner mesh pockets are clear of debris. Wash the jacket to remove any accumulated dirt or oils that might be blocking the membrane. Check for any blockages in the ventilation areas.
Faux fur trim is matted
Gently brush the fur with a soft brush after it has completely dried. Avoid direct heat, which can damage synthetic fibers.
