Product Information

Full details

The Aigle Women's Short MTD® Hooded Fishtail Parka is designed for the adult female seeking stylish, waterproof protection. Its key benefit is the combination of MTD® technology for wind and water resistance with a classic, flattering fishtail design. A potential caveat is that while it offers good protection, it is a shorter length, which may not be suitable for users seeking full-length coverage.

FAQs

Is the parka fully waterproof or water-resistant?

The parka features MTD® technology, which is designed to be waterproof with water-tight seams, offering full protection against rain.

Can I wear this in very cold winter weather?

The parka is designed as a waterproof outer shell. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it with a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece or a compatible Thermo-kit inner jacket.

What is the 'fishtail' hem?

The fishtail hem is a design feature where the back of the parka is longer than the front and split, resembling a fishtail. It provides extended coverage and a distinctive style.

How do I clean the parka?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Air dry, and do not tumble dry on high heat. Always check the care label for specific instructions.

What does 'MTD®' mean?

MTD® is Aigle's proprietary technology that ensures the garment is waterproof, windproof, and breathable.

How do I attach an inner jacket using the Thermo-kit closure?

Locate the press-studs at the neckline of the parka and align them with the corresponding press-studs on the compatible inner jacket. Press firmly to secure the attachment.

What is the origin of the cotton used?

The cotton used in this parka is from organic farming, which avoids the use of chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or GMOs, and is produced with minimal impact on biodiversity.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading off the fabric anymore.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the garment and apply a specialized re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure the garment is clean before applying any treatment.

The zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers if necessary.

The hood feels too loose.

Adjust the internal drawcord or external toggles on the hood (if present) to achieve a snugger fit. Ensure the hood is correctly positioned.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Check that the seams are clean and free from dirt or debris. If the issue persists after cleaning, the seam taping may be damaged, and professional repair might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. There is no assembly or setup required beyond adjusting the fit to your preference.

Compatibility:

  • Thermo-kit Integration: The parka is designed to be compatible with Aigle's Thermo-kit inner jackets. Look for the press-stud closure at the neckline to attach compatible layers.
  • Layering: Designed to be worn as an outer shell, it is suitable for layering over various types of clothing, from light t-shirts to sweaters or compatible Thermo-kit jackets.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Please refer to the specific care label on the product. Generally, most Aigle MTD® garments can be machine washed at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the waterproof performance.
  • Drying: Air dry the parka whenever possible. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and seals. If tumble drying is absolutely necessary, use a very low heat setting.
  • Re-waterproofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may wear off. To restore water repellency, use a specialized waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear. Follow the product instructions carefully. Ensure the garment is clean before re-waterproofing.
  • Cleaning Pockets: Ensure pockets are empty before washing. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt before machine washing.
