FAQs
What does 'MTD®' stand for?
MTD® is a technical fabric developed by Aigle, known for its waterproof and breathable properties, designed to protect you from the elements.
How do I adjust the waistband?
Locate the internal drawcord and drawstring ties at the waist. Pull them to cinch the waist for a tighter fit or loosen them for a more relaxed fit.
Can I machine wash this parka?
Yes, you can machine wash it following the specific instructions on the care label. It's crucial to use a gentle cycle and avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
What is the waterproof rating?
The parka has a waterproof column of 10,000 Schmerber, indicating a good level of protection against rain.
How do I maintain the waterproof features?
To maintain the waterproofness, it's recommended to reapply a DWR treatment periodically, especially if you notice water no longer beads off the fabric surface.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is fixed and features an adjustable visor for added protection.
What is the length of the parka?
The parka is described as 'short' length. Please refer to size charts for specific garment measurements if available.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure seams are also treated if necessary.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax crayon along the zipper teeth to improve its glide.
The garment feels less breathable.
Check for blockages in the fabric pores. Ensure the parka is clean; dirt and oils can impede breathability. Consider a gentle wash with a specialized technical cleaner.
Elastic drawcords are frayed or damaged.
Contact customer support for replacement cord options or consult a local tailor for repair services.
