FAQs

Is this parka insulated?

No, the Louise Parka is an unpadded shell, designed to be lightweight and suitable for layering.

Can I wear this in winter?

Yes, but you will likely need to wear a warm sweater or down jacket underneath to account for the lack of built-in insulation.

What does PFC-free mean?

It means the water-repellent finish is free from perfluorinated chemicals, which are often harmful to the environment.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and avoid using fabric softeners.

Is the hood removable?

The Louise Parka features an adjustable hood, but it is not removable.

What is the waterproof rating?

The jacket has a 10,000 mm waterproof rating, which is sufficient for heavy rain and prolonged exposure to wind.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the outer surface

The water-repellent coating may need reactivation; tumble dry on low heat or iron briefly to reset the finish.

Feeling clammy inside the jacket

Ensure that your base layers are moisture-wicking and not made of heavy cotton, which traps perspiration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind and waterproof protection
  • Highly breathable for active outdoor use
  • Lightweight and unpadded for layering versatility
  • Functional design with adjustable hood and waist
  • Durable, quality construction

Cons

  • No insulation, not suitable for extreme cold without extra layers
  • Slightly longer silhouette may restrict some high-intensity movements
  • Single color option in this variant

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane, follow these guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wash at a gentle setting with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the breathable fabric.
  2. Re-treating: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, use a heat-based iron or a tumble dryer on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
  3. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before long-term storage to prevent mildew buildup.
  4. Compatibility: The straight regular fit is designed to accommodate standard mid-layers, making it ideal for layering systems.
