FAQs
What does '3000mm waterproof' mean?
A '3000mm' rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a water pressure equivalent to a column of 3000 millimeters before leaking. This is generally considered suitable for moderate rain.
What does '3000mm breathable' mean?
A '3000mm' breathability rating (often measured in g/m²/24hr, though simplified here) means that 3000 grams of moisture vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. This helps prevent overheating and sweat build-up during activity.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket is designed to be waterproof and windproof, offering protection from the elements. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron.
Are the reflective prints durable?
The reflective prints are designed for visibility. While generally durable, they can be susceptible to wear and tear from excessive friction or improper washing. Follow care instructions to maintain them.
What is HVPL-TEC Performance Fabric?
HVPL-TEC is HV Polo's proprietary performance fabric, engineered to be waterproof, breathable, and windproof, offering protection and comfort for outdoor activities.
Does the jacket have a detachable hood?
No, the hood is foldable and can be tucked away and secured inside the collar, but it is not detachable.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure all care instructions have been followed. Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may wear off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof-technical outerwear.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to use.
Check the zipper for any fabric obstructions. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little mild soap and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
Hood is difficult to fold and store.
Ensure the hood is completely dry before attempting to fold it into the collar. Smooth out any major wrinkles before securing it.
Reflective prints are peeling or damaged.
Avoid harsh washing or drying methods. If damage has occurred, the prints cannot be repaired; it is a cosmetic issue that does not affect the jacket's performance.
