Product Information

Full details

The Didriksons Essa Jacket is a versatile, A-shaped parka designed for adult women who need reliable protection against wind and rain without sacrificing style. It excels in diverse weather conditions due to its high-performance 15,000 mm water column rating and breathable polyester construction, making it an excellent choice for daily commuting or outdoor walks. While its synthetic insulation provides consistent warmth, users should note that the regular fit may require layering adjustments depending on individual body type and desired movement.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for deep winter temperatures?

The Essa Jacket is designed for versatile use. While it provides good insulation, extreme sub-zero conditions may require an additional insulating mid-layer.

What does a 15,000 mm water column mean?

This rating indicates the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 15,000 mm water column before moisture penetrates, ensuring you stay dry in heavy rain.

Is the hood detachable?

The hood is adjustable but integrated into the jacket structure to ensure complete wind and water protection.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Always close all zippers and buttons before washing to prevent damage.

Can I adjust the waist for a tighter fit?

Yes, the jacket features integrated waist adjustment points, allowing you to tailor the silhouette.

Is the insulation material eco-friendly?

Yes, the jacket uses synthetic insulation made from 100% recycled fibers.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the outer fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the garment and apply a technical re-proofing spray, then tumble dry on low if the care label permits.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to close

Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Clean the zipper path with a soft brush and ensure the placket is aligned properly before pulling the slider.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof rating (15,000 mm) handles heavy rain
  • Sustainable design using recycled fibers and PFC-free finish
  • Excellent versatility with adjustable waist, hood, and cuffs
  • Practical ventilation option via inner placket button
  • Stylish A-shaped silhouette suitable for casual and professional settings

Cons

  • Regular fit may not suit those preferring a slim-cut look
  • Synthetic insulation is not as packable as high-loft down alternatives
  • Limited to specific colorways like Purple and Pink

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Didriksons Essa Jacket in peak condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Care Instructions: Always follow the garment's wash label. Typically, use a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical membrane.
  • Water Repellency: The jacket features a PFC-free water-repellent finish. If you notice water no longer beads off the surface, use a technical re-proofing spray designed for synthetic fabrics.
  • Storage: Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing the insulation under heavy items to maintain its loft and warmth properties.
  • Compatibility: The jacket's design is compatible with standard mid-layers, though the adjustable waist allows you to cinch the jacket closer to the body if you are wearing thinner layers.
