FAQs

How many ways can this jacket be worn?

The jacket can be worn in three ways: as a waterproof outer shell only, as a standalone inner fleece jacket, or with the inner fleece zipped into the outer shell for maximum warmth and protection.

What is the water resistance level of the fabric?

The jacket is waterproof with taped seams and features an extremely water-resistant eco-conscious fabric finish where water beads away from the fabric surface.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket is designed as a 3-in-1 system. The detachable inner fleece provides warmth, and when combined with the waterproof shell, it offers significant protection against cold and wet conditions.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is not removable but can be packed away into a dedicated compartment, providing added functionality and neatness when not in use.

What is the UV protection rating?

The fabric is 40+ UPF rated, which means it blocks 98% of UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash warm (max 40°C), do not bleach, tumble dry low, and iron on a low setting. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners to preserve the fabric's water-resistant properties.

What type of material is the outer shell made from?

The shell fabric is 100% Polyester, 150D Oxford Weave, PVC Coated, weighing 200g.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Check if the seams are properly taped and that there are no tears. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the fabric's water-beading ability has diminished after washing.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper track.

Inner fleece is not attaching correctly.

Align the full front zip closure of the inner fleece with the corresponding attachment points inside the outer shell. Ensure both zippers are fully zipped.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to re-adhere it yourself, as this may compromise its reflective quality. Consider professional repair if severe.

  • Excellent high-visibility features for safety.

Cons

  • The 'extremely water resistant' finish may degrade without proper maintenance.

  • Orange color may not be suitable for all industry requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket comes ready to wear. To utilize the 3-in-1 functionality, simply zip the inner fleece jacket into the outer shell using the integrated full front zip closure. Ensure all zips are fully closed for optimal weather protection.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a standalone piece of personal protective equipment. It is CE certified and UKCA marked. The unisex design is suitable for adult males. Available in sizes up to 3XL.

Care: To maintain the jacket's water-resistant properties and overall longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash warm, maximum 40°C (104°F).
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry low.
  4. Ironing: Iron low, maximum 110°C (230°F).
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the fabric's performance and coatings. Ensure the storm flap is closed and any Velcro is secured before washing.
