      I'm having my eye on a black one but I'm wondering what are the care instructions?

        @Karol:

        I assume that you can wash the parka in the washing machine like all outdoor or winter sports jackets. It is best to choose a gentle cycle with a maximum temperature of 30° C or 40° C and a low spin speed. To wash the jacket gently, you should use little liquid detergent (no fabric softener). This is because washing powder can get stuck in the fibers of many materials and reduce breathability. Also wash inside out to protect the fabric.

          Thanks!

          I am reading up on the eVent fabric to see how different it is from the stretched polytetrafluoroethylene. I completely agree with you regarding liquid vs washing powder.

            This eVent membrane is a remarkably interesting alternative. Nice breathability parameters among other things.
            Last of its size will join me to face Swedish Lapland.

              This is a monster of a jacket!!

              I admit that I did not expect it to impress me as much as it eventually did. The main motivation for purchase was the necessity, eVent membrane parameters and the fact that Haraki hinted on the price increase for all PrimaLoft products. But when I finally put it on, it was the cut that made it for me. It is my first ever winter jacket that fits and feels good. The details are as expected from IH, the durability will really show itself after some use and abuse, but it feels built for eternity.

              And while earlier I was inquiring on how to wash it, recently the man himself (Haraki) was washing his (after few years of use), and with fantastic outcome. It was all done in washing machine with only spinning omitted to avoid wrinkles and rub lines. No fuss!

              I am attaching his pictures from drying.

              It’s a keeper!

                I picked one of these up from iron shop and really delighted I did - really well made and solid. Out of interest what is the oz of insulation / down fill equivalent? While it’s warm it’s not crazy warm so layer8ng important as ever in zero minus temps

                  Thats a good question @Pete !
                  Depending on the activity You might want to add few layers. The sleeves become more full and harder to bend depending on the number and thickness of the layers but so far, I found that with brisk walk / hiking at –6 degrees Celsius I only need my trusty crewneck from Woolpower (https://woolpower.se/shop/produkt/crewneck-200/) while I needed 13,4oz Henley from Merz b. Schwanen (https://merzbschwanen.com/shop/2s04-01-men-s-loopwheeled-henley-heavy-13-4oz-relaxed-fit-6952?collection=157) plus Extra Heavy Flannel from UES (https://www.japaneseselvagejeans.com/goods_en_SEK_1594.html) when standing for a longer time in the same conditions.

                          Also its dark outside, 10 degrees F, feels like -4F with 15 MPH winds… I am warm enough with a UHF underneath this jacket and the hood on!  Nice Parka... I would definitely take this snowboarding as well.

                            Tested it out in -16 Celsius today with waffle and a loopwheel and it did fine - albeit wasn’t standing around!

                              Like the quilted riders jacket I think there is a trick. Connect the zip grab the toggle on the end pull down away and out without detaching the zip and then up - works every time

                                    The more I wear it the more I agree with @Giles on this. There is this piece of fabric that always gets in the way when you start to zip. But if you are aware of that, one finger move can put that fabric in the right spot, under the zipper. From there it all goes smoothly.

                                      Such a great jacket. Exactly what I was looking for. Only upside to getting snow today (in March 😫) was the opportunity to wear this beast.
