FAQs

How do I determine which of the three ways to wear the jacket?

Wear the full jacket (outer shell + inner fleece) for cold, wet conditions. Wear the outer shell alone for rain protection without overheating. Wear the inner fleece alone for warmth in dry, cool conditions.

Can I wash the inner fleece separately?

Yes, the inner fleece can be washed separately according to its own care label, typically following the same mild washing instructions as the outer shell.

What does CE certified mean for this jacket?

CE certification indicates that the jacket meets specific European health, safety, and environmental protection standards, particularly concerning its high-visibility and protective qualities.

How durable is the water-resistant finish?

The fabric has an extremely water-resistant eco-conscious finish where water beads away. Its longevity depends on care, but generally, repeated washing and heavy abrasion can reduce its effectiveness over time.

What is the UPF rating and why is it important?

UPF 40+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful UV radiation. This is important for protecting the wearer's skin from sun damage during prolonged outdoor exposure.

How many washes can this jacket withstand?

The jacket is designed for a maximum of 25 washes to maintain its performance characteristics, including waterproofing and reflective properties.

Are the contrast panels on the jacket purely for aesthetics?

No, the contrast panels are strategically placed in areas prone to dirt accumulation (like the lower part of the jacket) to help maintain a cleaner appearance during use, especially in dusty or muddy environments.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof.

Ensure all seams are intact and the main zipper is fully closed with the storm flap secured. Check for any damage to the fabric or coating. Remember, it is 'extremely water resistant' and the taped seams are crucial for full waterproofing.

Inner fleece won't zip into the outer jacket.

Align the zippers carefully. Ensure the inner fleece is correctly oriented and that no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try zipping the fleece on its own first to ensure it's functioning correctly.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high-temperature washing and tumble drying, as these can damage the reflective material. If minor peeling occurs, carefully adhere with a fabric-safe adhesive if possible. For significant damage, consider replacing the garment as high visibility is compromised.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This jacket is designed as a standalone piece of safety apparel. Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable fit. The inner fleece is specifically designed to integrate with the outer shell of the same model.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, follow these washing guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
