Parka Care

Your complimentary Silversea parka is a waterproof and breathable. The fabric is treated with special polymers that prevent the fabric from absorbing moisture, by making water bead up and roll off to minimizing condensation within the garment and maximize breathability. Over time your garment will absorb oil and dirt, the polymers break down, and the waterproof and breathability qualities are reduced. Therefore it is essential to keep your parka clean.

Washing Guidelines

Caring for your gear will extend its performance life. Always follow the garment washing instructions printed on a tag inside most garments.

• Wash outershell in warm to cold water with like colors.
• Use a mild detergent, never use liquid detergents. For the best performance we recommend washing your parka using Nikwax.
• Tumble dry on a medium heat to help redistribute the polymers on the fabric surface.
