FAQs

What does MTD® stand for?

MTD® refers to Aigle's proprietary waterproof and breathable membrane technology, designed to protect against the elements.

Is this parka warm enough for winter?

The parka is unlined and designed as a waterproof shell. It is best suited for mild to cool weather, or for layering over warmer clothing during colder seasons.

How do I clean the cotton-touch effect material?

Refer to the care label. Typically, a gentle machine wash at 30°C with similar colors is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.

Can I wear this parka if I'm taller than average?

This is a short parka. While the flared design allows for movement, those seeking longer coverage might find it less suitable. Consider checking the specific length measurements if available.

What is the waterproof rating in millimeters?

The parka has a waterproof rating of 15000 Schmerber, which is equivalent to 15000 mm of water pressure.

Does the hood offer full protection in heavy rain?

Yes, the fixed, adjustable hood with a high neck is designed to provide substantial protection against rain and wind, especially when tightened.

Where is this parka made?

The product sheet indicates that the origin of manufacture (weaving, dyeing, printing, tailoring) for this item is China.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through seams.

Ensure all heat-sealed finishes are intact. If the issue persists, the waterproof coating may need reapplication or the jacket may need replacement if significantly damaged.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Hood adjustment is not holding.

Check that the drawstring and cord stop are functioning correctly. Ensure the cord is properly threaded through the stop mechanism.

Garment feels clammy inside.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the inner fabric is clean and free from debris. For persistent issues, consider the garment's limitations in very high humidity environments.
