Product Information
Full details
The Stormtech Explorer Parka is engineered for adults who face extreme winter conditions, offering superior protection in temperatures ranging from -10°C to -30°C. Its core strength lies in the combination of H2XTREME waterproof technology and high-loft thermal insulation, ensuring wearers remain warm and dry during harsh weather. While the parka is exceptionally robust and feature-rich, its heavy-duty construction means it may feel bulkier than standard everyday jackets, making it best suited for intense cold rather than mild autumn weather.

FAQs
Is this parka machine washable?
Yes, but you should always remove the faux fur trim first and follow the care instructions on the internal garment tag.
Can I wear this in -30°C?
Yes, the parka is specifically rated for extreme temperatures ranging from -10°C to -30°C.
Is the hood removable?
The faux fur trim is removable, but the hood itself is integrated into the jacket design.
What does the 10,000mm waterproof rating mean?
It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before moisture begins to seep through, indicating high water resistance.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The outer pockets are designed to be highly water-resistant, but they should not be submerged as they are not fully waterproof sealed compartments.
What is the primary material?
The exterior features technical performance fabric with a soft Sherpa fleece interior for insulation.
Troubleshooting
Water beading is no longer effective on the outer shell
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a technical fabric re-waterproofing spray.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the storm flap and gently clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is often caused by lack of ventilation; ensure you are not overdressing with non-breathable layers underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your parka, it is important to handle the components correctly. The faux fur hood trim is designed to be removable; it is recommended to detach it before washing the main garment to prevent matting or damage. When cleaning, utilize a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outerwear to maintain the waterproof membrane. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability pores of the H2XTREME fabric. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the loft of the internal insulation and the integrity of the sealed seams. For storage, hang the parka in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation over time.
