FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

The EV4 Shell Jacket is designed for waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. While it allows for layering, it is not insulated. For extreme cold, additional thermal layers would be necessary.

Can I wear this jacket over a bulky fleece?

Yes, the ergonomic fit and stretch fabric are designed to accommodate layering. The ActiReach™ active armhole also ensures mobility even when worn over other garments.

How do I maintain the waterproof and breathable properties?

Follow the washcare instructions carefully, specifically avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. Specialized re-waterproofing treatments may be beneficial after extended use.

What does EN 343 Class 4:4 rating mean?

This rating indicates the highest level of protection for both water penetration resistance (Class 4) and breathable performance (Class 4) according to EN 343 standards.

Are the zips completely waterproof?

The jacket features waterproof zips to prevent water ingress, enhancing its overall protection against the elements.

What is the benefit of the dropped back hem?

The dropped back hem provides better coverage and protection against wind and rain, especially when bending or in active positions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.

This may be due to perspiration. Ensure underarm pit zips are open for increased ventilation. Check that the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.

Water is not beading off the fabric surface.

The eco-conscious fabric finish may need reapplication or cleaning. Follow specific care instructions for the fabric treatment.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure zippers are clean and free from debris. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Lubricating with a graphite pencil tip or a silicone-based zipper lubricant can help.

Hood adjustment is not effective.

Ensure all drawcords and hook & loop fasteners are correctly engaged and tightened according to your needs for a secure fit.
