FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extremely cold weather?

The jacket is designed for waterproofing and visibility. While it can be layered for warmth, it is not insulated for extreme cold conditions on its own. It is best used as an outer shell in foul weather.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features a total of 8 pockets, including a zipped chest pocket, two side zip pockets, internal lower patch pockets, and a dedicated phone and pen holder pocket.

What does UPF 40+ rated fabric mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 40+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C (104°F) using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat drying to preserve its performance.

What makes this jacket 'eco-conscious'?

The shell fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester (300D ECO), reducing waste and environmental impact. It also features a PFAS-free water-repellent finish.

How long does the water-repellent finish last?

The longevity of the Texpel™ Splash Eco finish depends on usage and care. Regular washing with mild detergent and occasional re-application of a suitable water-repellent treatment can help maintain its effectiveness.

Is this jacket compliant with railway industry safety standards?

Yes, this jacket complies with RIS 3279-TOM for the rail industry, specifically in the orange colorway. The yellow version is certified to EN ISO 20471.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish may have degraded. Re-apply a suitable eco-friendly water-repellent treatment according to product instructions. Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care guidelines, avoiding fabric softeners.

Reflective tape appears damaged or is peeling.

Avoid harsh detergents, high heat drying, or excessive ironing. If minor damage occurs, professional repair may be possible. If significantly damaged, the reflective properties may be compromised, impacting safety certification.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the storm flap is not caught in the zipper.

Hood is difficult to pack away.

Ensure the hood is completely dry before attempting to pack it into its designated compartment. Fold it neatly before storing to avoid bulk.
