FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the UC-ME Winter Jacket?
The UC-ME Winter Jacket is designed for demanding winter worksite conditions, prioritizing warmth, mobility, high visibility (Class 3), and protection against wind and rain.
Is the hood adjustable and can it fit over a helmet?
Yes, the hood is detachable and features vertical and horizontal adjustments. It is specifically designed to be helmet-compatible for safety and versatile use.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash in lukewarm water (max 40°C), up to 20 times. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat. Adhering to these instructions is crucial for preserving its protective qualities.
What do the EN certifications mean for this jacket?
EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 signifies high visibility. EN 343:2019 Class 3,1 indicates strong protection against rain and wind. EN 342:2017 certifies its insulation properties for cold conditions.
Are there internal pockets for storing personal items?
The jacket features secure external pockets with YKK zippers, including hand pockets with brushed lining and a chest pocket. There is also a Napoleon pocket designed for quick access without opening the jacket.
Can the hem adjustment cause a snagging hazard?
No, the elastic hem adjustment drawcord is cleverly accessed and adjusted from inside the hand pocket, preventing it from snagging on external objects.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is primarily made of polyester, chosen for its lightweight yet durable properties suitable for workwear.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Gently clean the teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of wax or soap if necessary. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Hood adjustment is not secure
Check that the drawcords are properly threaded and the toggles are functioning. Ensure the hood is correctly positioned on the head before tightening.
Jacket feels less waterproof after several washes
Follow care instructions precisely. Over-washing or using harsh detergents can degrade water repellency. Consider using a technical wash product designed for outdoor gear.
Reflective stripes appear damaged
Inspect for physical tears or excessive wear. Avoid ironing directly on the reflective stripes. If damaged, it may compromise safety rating; consider repair or replacement.
