FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Herock Trystan jacket is water-repellent with a 5000 mm rating, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket with taped seams might be more appropriate.
How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
After cleaning the jacket, use a spray-on or wash-in water-repellent treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear. Follow the instructions on the product packaging carefully. Allow the jacket to air dry completely or tumble dry on low heat if recommended.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
The jacket has a micro-fleece lining for warmth and is windproof. It functions well as an outer layer in cool to mild temperatures or as a mid-layer under a heavier coat in colder conditions.
What does 'breathable 3000 mvp' mean?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Transmission. A rating of 3000 mvp indicates that the fabric allows approximately 3000 grams of water vapor to pass through each square meter over a 24-hour period. This signifies a good level of breathability for activities that generate body heat.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold or at 30-40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid direct heat.
What certifications does this jacket have?
This jacket is certified with EN ISO 13688:2013 (General requirements for protective clothing) and EN 14058:2017 (Clothing for protection against cold).
What material is the jacket made of?
The main fabric is a 300g/m² bonded fabric with a 100% polyester ripstop outer layer and a 100% polyester micro-fleece inner layer. The contrast fabric is a 310g/m² bonded fabric with a TPU membrane.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels clammy inside
The breathability may be reduced. Ensure the inner fleece is clean and free of dirt or residue. Check if the jacket's vents (if any) are open. Consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment if the outer fabric is no longer shedding water effectively.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable water-repellent spray designed for technical outdoor gear. Ensure all seams are properly sealed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and a small amount of water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth to ease movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Hood detachment mechanism is jammed
Inspect the zipper for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper is damaged, professional repair may be needed.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's water-repellent and breathable properties:

- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically treat the jacket with a specialized water-repellent spray (suitable for softshells) to restore its protective finish. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
