FAQs
What makes the MeshAir Pro panels effective?
The MeshAir Pro panels are made of a specially engineered aerated mesh fabric that maximizes airflow, allowing heat and moisture to escape and keeping the wearer cool and comfortable.
How does the Texpel finish work?
The Texpel finish is a treatment applied to the fabric that causes liquids like water, oil, and grime to bead up and roll off the surface, preventing them from soaking into the material and making it easier to clean.
Is this jacket suitable for women?
While designed with a male silhouette in mind, some women may find the slim fit suitable. However, for a more tailored fit, women's specific workwear options might be preferable.
Can I wear this in cold environments?
This jacket is primarily designed for breathability and comfort in warm or active environments. For cold conditions, layering might be necessary.
How should I wash the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash at a maximum of 60°C on a normal cycle. Avoid bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a medium setting. Professional dry cleaning is also an option.
What does 'non-shrinking' mean for this jacket?
It means the jacket is constructed and treated to resist shrinking during washing and drying processes, ensuring it maintains its original size and fit over time.
Does the apron tab adjust?
Yes, the apron tab at the back of the neck is designed to ensure secure placement of your apron and typically allows for some adjustment to fit different apron lengths or preferences.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the slim fit is uncomfortable, consider if this specific cut is suitable for your preference or workplace.
Stains are difficult to remove
While Texpel finish offers resistance, immediate wiping of fresh spills is recommended. For stubborn stains, follow the recommended washing instructions (max 60°C) and consider pre-treating if necessary.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the MeshAir Pro panels are not obstructed and that the garment is clean. Over time, heavy soiling can reduce fabric performance. Follow care instructions.
