FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 class 2 mean?

This certification indicates the jacket meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing. Class 2 signifies a medium level of visibility, suitable for workers who are not in constant high-risk traffic situations but still require significant visibility.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-repellent (5000 mm rating), meaning it can handle light rain and splashes effectively. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it is not fully waterproof and a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features a total of four pockets: one chest pocket, two side pockets, and one sleeve pocket.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it for a different look or when it's not needed.

What is the material composition of the jacket?

The jacket is made of a bonded fabric: Outer shell is 100% polyester with mechanical stretch, and the lining is 100% polyester micro-fleece. The total fabric weight is 310g/m².

How should I care for the reflective tapes?

To preserve the reflective tapes, avoid abrasive cleaners, excessive rubbing, and ironing directly on the tapes. Follow the standard washing instructions.

What is the breathability rating?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000 mvp (moisture vapor permeability), which allows moisture vapor to escape from the inside, keeping you comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility of reflective tapes

Ensure tapes are clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing. Consider replacing the jacket if damage is significant after 25 wash cycles.

Water seeping through fabric

The jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For prolonged heavy rain, consider a waterproof outer shell. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Use the detachable zip pullers carefully. If issues persist, contact customer support.

Jacket feels too cool in cold weather

This is a softshell jacket designed for moderate conditions or as a layering piece. Add a thermal base layer or a warmer mid-layer underneath for colder temperatures.
