FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the UC-ME Winter Jacket?

The UC-ME Winter Jacket is designed for high visibility and protection against cold, wind, and rain in demanding work environments. It meets safety standards for construction, road work, and logistics.

How do I ensure the jacket maintains its water-repellent properties?

To maintain water repellency, always tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting after washing. This process reactivates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Avoid using fabric softeners and harsh detergents.

Is the hood adjustable for different head sizes or helmets?

Yes, the hood is detachable and features vertical and horizontal adjustments to ensure a secure fit, and it is specifically designed to be helmet-compatible.

What certifications does this jacket meet?

The jacket meets EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 (High Visibility), EN 343:2019 Class 3,1 (Protection against rain), and EN 342:2017 (Protection against cold).

Can I use this jacket in moderate temperatures?

While it offers protection, it is primarily designed for colder weather. In milder temperatures, it might be too warm for strenuous activity. Proper layering is recommended for optimal comfort across different conditions.

What materials are used in the jacket's construction?

The shell is 100% Polyester. The lining is 100% Polyamide, and the insulation in both the sleeves and body is 100% Recycled Polyester.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C maximum with similar colors. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Use liquid detergent and do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully waterproof after washing

Ensure the garment has been tumble dried on a low heat setting, as this reactivates the water-repellent treatment. Avoid using fabric softener, which can degrade water repellency.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and ensure no fabric is caught. If the issue persists, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant designed for zippers can be applied.

Hood does not fit securely over helmet

Ensure the hood is fully attached and adjusted using its drawcords. The helmet compatibility is designed for standard safety helmets; fit may vary with different helmet types.

Jacket feels too warm indoors

The jacket is designed for outdoor work in cold and wet conditions. Consider layering appropriately or removing the jacket when moving to warmer indoor environments. The detachable hood can also be removed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use to maximize protection and fit. Adjust the hem drawcord within the hand pockets for a secure, personalized fit that prevents drafts. The hood can be detached or attached using its fastening mechanism and adjusted for a snug fit around the head or helmet.

  • Cold Weather: Certified for cold protection (EN 342:2017) in combination with Helly Hansen styles 71455 & 71456 for optimal thermal performance.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C maximum. Wash with similar colors. Close zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing.
  • Detergent: Use liquid detergent.
  • Fabric Softener: Do not use fabric softener, as it can impair the fabric's performance.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This is crucial to reactivate the water-repellent treatment on the fabric.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
