Product Description
Didriksons Women's Erika Parka is designed to be the go-to coat for everyday activities during the cold winter months. With taped seams and a PFC-free DRW finish, the parka is fully waterproof and windproof and is filled with insulation made from 100% recycled polyester to keep you cosy and dry. It features an adjustable, fixed hood where the synethetic fur can be removed if preferred and a front flap with button closing to ensure the front zip is protected from the weather too.
With an abundance of pockets, your essential items can be stored away safe and secure in the knowledge that they will stay dry and the jacket is tapered at the waist to create a shaped silhouette. Adjustable sleeve ends paired with inside elastic cuffs ensure that the cold keeps out but also that the heat stays in.
The lining of the jacket has been dyed using Solution Dye - a dyeing technique that saves up to 80% water compared to the more conventionally dyed polyester/polyamide fabrics, meaning this jacket is not only protecting you from the wind and rain but also protects the planet.

PFC-Free DWR
Fluorinated DWR finishes make clothing waterproof by repelling water droplets. ‘PFCs’ is the broad term for all fluorocarbon chemicals, of which PFOS and PFOA are sub-groups. Different chemicals in this family have a varying number of carbon atoms, so C6 has six carbon atoms and C8 has eight. While the outdoor industry has moved away from C8 (or 'long chain') PFCs, C6 (short chain) PFCs are currently unbeatable in their waterproofing performance. They're considered less harmful to the environment than C8, but they have not been proven to be safe. PFCs are known as forever chemicals; once created they will never break down and are harmful to people and the planet. To read more about the chemistry related to PFCs, head here.
PFC-Free DWR uses alternative, biodegradable technologies that repels water from the surface of a fabric - such as Fjallraven's Greenland Wax. PFC-Free DWR coatings are water resistant enough for most daily activities, so if you don’t need a highly technical waterproof, consider a PFC-Free garment instead.

Recycled Fabrics
By recycling fabrics, we are not only stopping extra waste heading to landfill but also reducing the need for virgin fabrics to be created. Recycled fabrics can be anything from recycled polyester to recycled cotton and where recycled cotton is used, it's often offcuts from factory floors that would otherwise end up in landfill.
