FAQs

What makes the nylon 'recycled'?

The nylon used in this parka is sourced from post-consumer or post-industrial waste materials that have been processed and re-spun into new yarns, reducing environmental impact.

How does the 'anti-drop' agent work?

The anti-drop agent is a finishing treatment applied during the dyeing process that helps to repel water and dirt from the surface of the fabric, keeping the garment drier and cleaner for longer.

Is this parka suitable for heavy rain?

The parka offers water repellency due to the anti-drop treatment, making it suitable for light rain and showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof gear would be recommended.

How does the brushed nylon feel compared to regular nylon?

Brushing the nylon fabric gives it a softer, more textured feel that resembles the touch of cotton, making it more comfortable against the skin compared to traditional smooth nylon.

Can I machine wash this parka?

Yes, you can machine wash the parka, but it's important to use a gentle cycle with a maximum temperature of 30°C and wash with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.

What is the purpose of the two-way zip?

The two-way zip allows you to open the jacket from either the top or the bottom. This provides flexibility for ventilation, comfort when sitting, and ease of movement.

How should I store the parka when not in use?

Store the parka in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in a compressed state for long periods to maintain the fabric's loft and finish. A breathable garment bag is ideal.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free from debris. Gently rub a graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant along the zipper teeth to improve glide.

Garment appears faded or has color inconsistencies after washing.

This may be due to the nature of garment dyeing. Follow care instructions precisely, especially regarding water temperature and detergent type. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.

Drawcords are tangled or difficult to adjust.

Carefully untangle the drawcords. If they become consistently difficult to manage, consider replacing them with new ones of similar material.

Fabric feels less water-repellent over time.

The anti-drop finish can diminish with wear and washing. Consider reapplying a suitable fabric protector spray designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.
