To use this parka, simply put it on like any other coat. It's great for wearing during spring outings. When it rains a bit, the water-resistant exterior will keep you dry. For cleaning, follow the care label instructions. Usually, a gentle machine wash in cold water is fine. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might damage the water-resistant coating. Hang it to dry and don't wring it out. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
