Product Information

Full details

The Aigle MTD® Short Adjustable Waist Parka is designed for adult women seeking a stylish and functional outerwear piece for unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is excellent waterproof and windproof protection combined with a flattering, adjustable fit. A potential caveat is that while it offers good protection, it may not be suitable for extreme cold without layering. This parka features a high-performance fabric, a fixed adjustable hood, multiple pockets, and a refined seaming design for a chic, urban look.

Is the hood detachable?

What materials is the parka made from?

It is made from 62% cotton (from organic farming) and 38% polyamide.

How do I adjust the fit of the parka?

The fit can be adjusted using the drawcord and drawstring ties at the waist and press studs at the cuffs.

Can this parka be worn in very cold weather?

While it provides good protection against wind and rain, it is designed as a mid-weight jacket. For very cold temperatures, layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.

Where is this parka manufactured?

The origin of manufacture (weaving, dyeing, printing, tailoring) for this product is China.

Does the cotton used come from sustainable sources?

Yes, the cotton is from organic farming, which avoids the use of chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or GMOs, and is produced with minimal impact on biodiversity.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the seams.

Ensure the garment has been washed correctly without fabric softener and that the DWR treatment is up-to-date. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment.

The zipper is difficult to operate.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. Lubricating the zipper with graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.

The adjustable drawcord is not holding its position.

Ensure the cord lock or stopper is functioning correctly. If it's damaged, it may need to be replaced. Make sure the cord is threaded properly through the garment's eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This parka requires no assembly and is ready to wear out of the package. Its design is compatible with various outfits, from casual jeans to more dressed-up trousers or skirts.

Care Instructions:

  • Refer to the specific care instructions on the product label for the most accurate guidance.
  • Generally, for waterproof garments, it is recommended to wash them with a technical detergent designed for outdoor wear.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce its breathability and water-repellent properties.
  • Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry, as excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
  • Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically to maintain the garment's water resistance, following the product instructions for the treatment.
