FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of WP 20,000MM and is classified as EN 343 Class 4:4, indicating excellent water and vapor permeability resistance.

How do I clean the EV4 Shell Jacket?

Follow the specific washcare instructions on the garment label. Generally, machine wash cool with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or line dry.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The EV460 is a shell jacket designed for protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is intended to be layered over insulating garments like fleece or thermal base layers.

Can the hood be detached?

The product description does not specify if the hood is detachable. It is designed to be adjustable and helmet-compatible.

What does the 'ActiReach™ Active' feature mean?

ActiReach™ Active refers to the ergonomic armhole design that allows for a greater range of motion and comfort, especially when reaching or performing overhead tasks.

How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?

The eco-conscious water-repellent finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat after washing, or by applying a specialized re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment following the product instructions.

What sizes are available for this jacket?

This jacket is available in various adult sizes, including S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL, in both Grey and Black colour options.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Check that all zips are fully closed. Inspect seams for damage. The water-repellent finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied; follow care instructions for re-waterproofing.

Jacket feels too warm or not breathable enough.

Ensure the underarm pit zips are open. Layer appropriately with lighter base layers. Avoid overheating by opening zips and removing excess layers when less active.

Hood does not fit well.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal drawcords on the hood. If wearing a helmet, ensure it is properly positioned first. The hood is designed for a helmet-compatible fit, which may differ from a standard hood fit.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper pullers are clean and free of debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers if necessary. Do not force the zipper.
