FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 certification mean?

This certification indicates that the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing, ensuring the wearer is conspicuous in hazardous situations.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

The jacket is designed primarily for weather protection (waterproof and wind-resistant) and high visibility. It does not provide significant thermal insulation on its own but can be layered with warm clothing underneath for colder conditions.

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 pocket for a phone and pen.

Can this jacket be worn by women?

Yes, the jacket is designed as unisex and is available in various sizes to fit a wide range of adults.

What is the Texpel™ Splash Eco finish?

Texpel™ Splash Eco is a sustainable finish applied to the fabric that makes water bead away from the surface, enhancing the jacket's water resistance without using harmful chemicals.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning. Ensure it's air-dried or tumble-dried on low heat. Do not iron the reflective tape.

What does UPF 40+ rated fabric mean?

UPF 40+ indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering significant protection against sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer as water-resistant.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Use a mild detergent specifically designed for outdoor wear. Avoid fabric softeners and excessive rinsing. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if necessary, following the product's instructions.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid ironing directly on the reflective tape. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to reapply it yourself; consider if the jacket's overall integrity is compromised for safety use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a graphite pencil to the teeth or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Hood is difficult to pack away.

Ensure the hood is completely dry before attempting to fold it. Fold it neatly into its designated compartment, typically found around the collar.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting. Do not iron the reflective tape.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect the jacket for any damage to seams or the fabric. Clean any spills promptly using a damp cloth.

After washing, ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew.
