FAQs

What makes this jacket 'Ultimate Stretch'?

The 'Ultimate Stretch' refers to the jacket's four-way stretch fabric, which is a blend of 87% polyamide and 13% elastane. This composition allows for significant expansion and recovery in all directions, providing exceptional freedom of movement.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket is certified to EN 343 Class 3/3, which is the highest rating for protection against rain, indicating superior waterproofness and breathability.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash the jacket at 40°C on a coloured wash cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Professional dry-cleaning using hydrocarbons is also an option.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket is designed as a waterproof outer shell. It is breathable and windproof, making it excellent for protection against the elements. For very cold weather, layering with appropriate thermal insulation underneath is recommended.

What are the reflectors for?

The reflectors are integrated for enhanced visibility, particularly in low-light conditions or during adverse weather, improving safety for the wearer.

What is the main difference between the Moss Green and Moss Green/Black variants?

The colour variation typically refers to the two-toned design of the jacket. While the material and features remain the same, the colourway differs between solid Moss Green or a combination of Moss Green and Black.

What does 'taped seams' mean for waterproofing?

Taped seams mean that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket are covered with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from penetrating through the needle holes, ensuring complete waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through seams

Ensure all taped seams are intact. If damage is present, re-taping may be necessary, or consult the manufacturer for repair options. Verify that zippers are fully closed.

Jacket feels less breathable

Check the jacket for dirt or residue buildup, which can impede breathability. Follow the recommended washing instructions. Ensure the inner lining is not blocked.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Gently try to operate the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help smooth operation, but apply sparingly and avoid the fabric.

Hood adjustment drawstring is stuck

Carefully inspect the drawstring channel for obstructions. Avoid forcing the drawstring, which could cause damage.
