FAQs
What type of insulation does the Hyalite Down Parka use?
The parka uses down insulation for warmth and a lightweight feel.
Is this parka waterproof?
The material is Polyamide, which offers some water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best suited for dry or lightly wet conditions.
Can I wear this in very cold, sub-zero temperatures?
While warm, it is best suited for moderate to cold temperatures. For extreme cold, consider layering it with other garments or using a heavier-duty jacket.
How do I ensure the down doesn't clump after washing?
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up any clumps and restore the down's loft.
What sizes are available?
The parka is available in sizes XS to XL.
What is the material of the parka?
The parka is made of 100% Polyamide.
Are the pockets insulated?
The side slip pockets have zip fastening for security, but they are not specifically described as insulated.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If needed, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can be applied to the teeth.
Parka has lost its loft or warmth
The down may be compressed or wet. Follow the care instructions for machine washing and tumble drying on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.
Stitching is coming loose
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. For more significant seam issues, professional repair may be necessary.
