FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 mean?

This certification indicates the highest level of high visibility. It ensures the garment provides maximum conspicuity for the wearer, essential for safety in environments with traffic or moving machinery.

Can the hood be completely removed?

Yes, the hood is detachable, offering flexibility based on weather conditions and user preference.

How do I wash the jacket to maintain its features?

Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C max, up to 20 times), using liquid detergent, with similar colors. Close zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat to restore water repellency.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket is certified EN 342:2017 for cold protection, offering good insulation and protection against cold environments. For extreme conditions, layering may be advised.

What is the benefit of the extended back design?

The extended back provides better coverage and comfort when bending or stretching, preventing drafts and maintaining warmth.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the jacket features Solution Dyed materials and is PFC-free, aligning with sustainability efforts.

How is the hem adjustment accessed?

The elastic drawcord for hem adjustment is conveniently located inside the hand pocket, preventing it from snagging on external objects.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer seems water-repellent.

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. This reactivates the water-repellent treatment. Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as this can impede water repellency.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reduced visibility despite high-vis color.

Ensure reflective stripes are clean and free from dirt or damage. Wash according to care instructions to maintain their reflectivity.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Check for any gaps in the fit that might be allowing drafts. Ensure all closures (zipper, cuffs, hem) are properly secured. The insulation is lightweight, designed for mobility.
