FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Hi-Vis feature?
The Hi-Vis (High Visibility) feature, meeting EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 standards, is designed to make the wearer significantly more visible to others, especially in low-light conditions or busy work environments, thereby enhancing safety.
How does the Life Pocket™ work?
The Life Pocket™ is an insulated pocket designed to keep electronic devices, such as smartphones or tablets, warmer for longer in cold conditions. This helps to preserve battery life and ensures the device remains functional.
Can I adjust the length of the suit?
Yes, the suit offers a possibility to increase the leg length by 5 cm, allowing for a more customized fit, especially when wearing different types of work boots.
What type of professional is this suit best suited for?
This suit is ideal for professionals working outdoors in cold, wet, and windy conditions who require high visibility, such as construction workers, road crews, agricultural workers, and logistics personnel.
How do I care for the suit to maintain its performance?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with lukewarm water (max 40°C), do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean. It's recommended to wash the garment a maximum of 20 times.
Is the hood detachable?
Yes, the hood is detachable and also features adjustments for vertical and horizontal positioning, and it is designed to be helmet-compatible.
What kind of reinforcement is used on the suit?
The suit features Cordura® fabric reinforcement at the knee and bottom leg areas for enhanced durability against abrasion and wear.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels too warm during moderate temperatures.
Utilize the underarm ventilation zippers. Consider layering with lighter base layers or switching to a non-insulated suit if consistently working in warmer conditions.
Water is seeping through seams.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the garment has been washed according to instructions. If the issue persists, the taped seams may need professional assessment, though this is rare with proper care.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and a damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Fit feels restrictive during certain movements.
Adjust the articulated knee and sleeve areas. Ensure knee pads are correctly positioned. If the suit is too small, consider trying a larger size or adjusting the leg length extension.
