FAQs
What is the lowest temperature rating for this parka?
The Explorer Parka is designed to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C.
Can I remove the hood?
The faux fur trim is removable, allowing for versatile styling and easier maintenance.
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Does it have internal pockets?
The parka features an efficient layout including an external stormflap, though internal storage varies by specific production batch.
Is the fabric noisy when moving?
Due to the waterproof H2XTREME membrane, the fabric is durable and structured, which may produce slight sound during movement compared to softer, non-waterproof materials.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off; re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the outer shell and tumble dry on low to reactivate the treatment.
Zipper sticking or jamming
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and clean the track with a soft brush to remove any dirt or ice buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the parka, always close all zippers and snap closures before washing. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner that preserves waterproof coatings. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the H2XTREME technology. For the faux fur hood trim, it is recommended to detach it before laundering to prevent matting. Always air dry the parka away from direct heat sources to protect the polyester material and internal thermal fill.
