FAQs

What does MTD® 3-layer mean?

MTD® 3-layer refers to a technical fabric construction where a waterproof and breathable membrane is sandwiched between an outer protective layer and an inner lining. This provides robust protection from weather while maintaining comfort.

Is this parka warm enough for winter?

This parka is unlined and designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.

How do I maintain the waterproofness of the parka?

Regular washing and tumble drying on a low heat setting helps reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents.

Can I wear this parka in heavy rain?

Yes, with a waterproof rating of 15,000 schmerbers and thermo-welded seams, this parka is designed to withstand significant rainfall.

What is the fit like?

The parka features a short, flared, and fluid silhouette, designed to be feminine and allow for comfortable movement.

Does it have an inner pocket?

The product description does not mention an inner pocket, only two external flap pockets.

What material is the outer fabric?

The outer fabric is composed of 73% Cotton and 27% Polyamide, giving it a cotton-touch effect.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment on the outer fabric may need to be reactivated. Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes, or iron on a low heat setting without steam. If the issue persists, the waterproof coating may need reapplication.

Zipper is sticking.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. Lubricate the zipper with a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Parka feels less breathable.

The fabric pores might be clogged. Ensure the parka is clean by washing according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softener, which can impede breathability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance suitable for various weather conditions.
  • Feminine and modern flared design.
  • Practical features like an adjustable hood and secure pockets.
  • Durable construction with thermo-welded seams.
  • Lightweight due to unlined design.

Cons

  • Unlined construction may not provide sufficient warmth in very cold temperatures.
  • Short length might not be ideal for those seeking full coverage.
  • Cotton-touch effect material may require specific care.
  • Limited to one color option (Brown).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This parka requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, it pairs well with a variety of casual and semi-casual outfits. Its versatile design complements jeans, trousers, and skirts.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with the closure zipped and the hood adjusted. Wash with similar colors.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This is recommended to help reactivate the water-repellent treatment of the fabric.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (max 110°C / 230°F), being careful not to iron over the prints.
  • Avoid: Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
