Full details

Its primary benefit is complete waterproofness, ensuring you stay dry whether on a mountain expedition or during a daily commute.

How do I determine the correct size?
The parka features a relaxed fit designed for layering. Refer to general sizing charts for men's apparel and consider if you plan to wear very thick layers underneath when selecting your size.

How should I clean the parka to maintain its waterproof properties?
Machine wash cold with mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning. Consider reapplying a waterproofing treatment periodically.
Troubleshooting
Parka is no longer fully waterproof.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before attempting to move it. You can also apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the teeth.
Minor stains on the fabric.
Spot clean stains with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the area with clean water and allow it to air dry.
