The reflective details provide 360-degree visibility, significantly enhancing your safety by making you more noticeable to vehicles and others in low-light or nighttime conditions.

Can this jacket be worn by both men and women?

How should I clean the jacket to preserve its features?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach. Reapply DWR treatment as needed to maintain water repellency.
What does 'bidirectional mechanical stretching' mean?
This refers to the fabric's ability to stretch in two directions (typically horizontally and vertically), allowing for greater freedom of movement without restriction, which is beneficial during physical activities like cycling.
Troubleshooting
Jacket does not repel water effectively
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for polyester or wash the jacket with a DWR-enhancing detergent.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. You can try gently cleaning the zipper teeth with a soft brush and applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant.
Reflective details are peeling
Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. If peeling has started, it may be difficult to repair; ensure careful handling during cleaning.
Jacket feels restrictive
The jacket has a slim performance fit. Ensure you are wearing the correct size according to the size chart. The fabric does offer bidirectional stretch for mobility.
