FAQs

What does MTD® stand for and what are its benefits?

MTD® refers to a specific membrane technology used by Aigle. It provides a balance of waterproofness, windproofness, and breathability, ensuring comfort in various weather conditions by keeping external moisture out while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

Is this parka suitable for very cold weather?

The parka is designed to protect against wind and rain. For very cold temperatures, layering with additional warm clothing underneath would be necessary.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features an adjustable drawcord around the edge. Pulling the drawcord will tighten the hood for a more secure fit and better protection against wind and rain.

Can I put this parka in the washing machine?

Yes, you can typically machine wash this parka. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the recommended temperature and cycle, usually a 30°C gentle wash.

What is the length of the parka?

This is a 'long' parka, meaning it extends further down the body, typically to mid-thigh or below, providing extended coverage.

Does the main fabric contain recycled materials?

Yes, the main fabric is made with at least 50% recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through

Ensure all zips are fully closed and check that the hood drawcord is tightened. The garment's water-tight seams and membrane may degrade over time; consider re-waterproofing the fabric according to care instructions.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to move the zipper. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Garment feels less breathable

The MTD® membrane may be blocked by dirt or residue. Ensure the garment is clean by following the care instructions. Regular washing, using appropriate detergents, can help restore breathability.
