Aigle Gore-Tex Parka - Black - S

Gore-Tex is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane. It's used in this parka to provide excellent protection from the elements while allowing body moisture to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.

If water no longer beads up and instead soaks into the outer fabric, the DWR finish needs attention. Cleaning and tumble drying often helps reactivate it, but reapplication may be necessary for full performance.

The parka is equipped with four outside pockets and one inside pocket, offering ample storage for your essentials.

Yes, the hood lining is detachable, offering flexibility in terms of warmth and appearance depending on the weather conditions.

You should avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and regular detergents. Use specialized technical washes designed for waterproof and breathable outerwear.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the parka and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. If performance does not improve, consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for Gore-Tex.

Ensure the garment is clean. Dirt and residues can clog the pores of the Gore-Tex membrane. Follow the washing instructions carefully and consider a specific technical cleaner if necessary.

This usually happens if the down was not dried properly. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls or clean tennis balls. Keep checking and redistributing the down by hand if needed during the drying process.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve glide.
