Troubleshooting
Outer shell showing signs of moisture soaking in
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be wearing off; re-apply a DWR spray treatment designed for technical outerwear.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or debris, then apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a ready-to-wear garment, there is no technical setup required. To ensure compatibility, consider your standard layering system; the regular fit allows for a mid-layer fleece or sweater underneath if temperatures drop significantly. For long-term care, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can strip away the weather-resistant treatment on the shell. Always air dry the parka away from direct heat sources to preserve the loft of the insulation and the durability of the polyester fabric.
