Its key benefit lies in its waterproof, windproof, and breathable 3-layer fabric, combined with an ergonomic design for unrestricted movement.

The EV4 Shell Jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain and is designed for year-round use. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath.
Machine wash at 40°C with a liquid detergent, closing all fasteners. Do not use bleach or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on low heat. Specific care instructions are detailed in the 'Care' section.
WP 20,000MM refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating high water resistance. MVP 10,000g/m2/24hrs measures breathability, showing how much water vapor can pass through the fabric per square meter per 24 hours, indicating good breathability.
Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet-compatible, allowing for adjustment to fit securely over most work or safety helmets.
The jacket features waterproof zips on the pockets and main closure, designed to prevent water penetration and keep your belongings dry.
The EV4 Shell Jacket uses a 3-layer construction for enhanced durability, breathability, and waterproofness, along with ergonomic features for superior mobility, making it more suitable for active work and demanding conditions than a standard rain jacket.
The hood features vertical and horizontal adjustment toggles. Use these to customize the fit around your face and head, ensuring it stays in place and provides maximum coverage without obstructing your vision.
The eco-conscious fabric finish may need reapplication. Consider using a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment and follow the product's instructions for application after washing.
Ensure underarm pit zips are open for ventilation. Check that the inner layer is not saturated from prolonged heavy rain; if so, allow the jacket to air dry. Clean the jacket according to care instructions as accumulated dirt can affect performance.
Ensure zips are clean and free of debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Use the easy grip pullers attached to facilitate smoother operation.
The jacket features an 'active fit' designed for mobility. If you prefer to wear thicker layers underneath, consider purchasing one size larger than your usual size.
Setup:
The EV4 Shell Jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear upon unpacking. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use to maximize water resistance.
Compatibility:
