FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket offers good water repellency due to its fabric treatment, meeting EN 343 Class 3,1 standards for rain protection. However, it is not fully waterproof like a dedicated rain suit.

Can I wear a hard hat or helmet under the hood?

Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet-compatible, allowing it to be worn over most standard work helmets. Adjustments are available for a secure fit.

What is the primary purpose of the reflective stripes?

The reflective stripes significantly enhance your visibility in low-light conditions or at night, which is crucial for safety in environments with moving vehicles or machinery.

How many times can I wash this jacket?

The jacket is rated for a maximum of 20 wash cycles at 40°C to maintain its performance and durability.

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

This certification signifies the highest level of high-visibility performance for protective clothing, ensuring the wearer is conspicuous in hazardous environments.

Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?

Yes, the jacket features adjustable cuffs and an adjustable hem with an elastic drawcord (accessed through the hand pocket) to tailor the fit and keep out drafts.

What material is the jacket made of?

The shell is 100% Polyester, with a 100% Polyamide lining and 100% Recycled Polyester insulation in the body and sleeves.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is clear of debris. Gently try to move it back and forth. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Hood adjustment not holding

Check that the drawcords are properly threaded and the toggles are engaged. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the adjustment mechanism from working correctly.

Water repellency seems reduced

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. If performance is still low after drying, consider a re-treatment spray suitable for polyester fabrics.

Seams feel uncomfortable

Ensure the jacket is worn with appropriate base layers. The design minimizes shoulder seams for comfort, but internal seams can be felt depending on movement.
