FAQs

What is MTD® technology?

MTD® is a technology used by Aigle that ensures the garment is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, offering protection and comfort in various weather conditions. The waterproof rating is 5000 Schmerber.

How do I know if the parka is suitable for very cold weather?

This parka provides a good outer shell. For very cold weather, you would need to utilize the Thermo-kit closure system to attach a compatible inner jacket (sold separately) for added insulation.

Can I machine wash this parka?

Yes, it is generally machine washable. Please refer to the specific care instructions on the product label for the recommended cycle, temperature, and detergent.

What is the origin of the cotton used?

The cotton used is from organic farming, which means it is produced without the use of chemicals, pesticides, or GMOs, minimizing impact on biodiversity.

Does the fishtail hem affect the fit?

The fishtail hem is primarily a stylistic feature at the back, providing a slightly longer silhouette. It does not typically alter the standard fit of the parka.

How do I clean the parka if it's only lightly soiled?

For minor dirt, you can often wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet and allow it to air dry afterward.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the seams.

Ensure the waterproof seams have not been compromised. Check care label for washing instructions; improper washing can affect waterproofing. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment if necessary.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it's stuck on fabric, carefully free it. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Parka is no longer windproof or waterproof.

This may occur over time with wear and tear or improper care. Check the care label and follow instructions meticulously. A professional re-waterproofing treatment might restore some performance.

Drawcords are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the drawcords are not tangled or obstructed by debris. If they feel stiff, they might need cleaning. Check that the cord stoppers are functioning correctly.

Care Instructions:

  • Refer to the product label for specific care instructions.
  • Generally, clothing with MTD® technology can be machine washed on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impact the waterproof membrane.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Tumble dry on low heat or air dry away from direct sunlight.
  • Iron on a low setting if necessary, avoiding direct contact with any printed logos or technical membranes.
  • Ensure all zips and fastenings are closed before washing.
