FAQs

What specific EN standards does this jacket meet?

The jacket meets EN ISO 11612 (A1+A2, B1, C1, E2, F1), EN 1149-5, EN 342 (0.321 M².K/W, 2, X), and EN ISO 11611 Class 2 (A1+A2).

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

Yes, it is designed for warmth with FR cotton lining and 150g filling, and meets EN 342 standards for cold protection.

What is the primary material of the shell fabric?

The shell fabric is Bizflame Plus, composed of 99% Cotton and 1% Carbon Fibre, weighing 350g.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it at a maximum of 40°C (104°F), but avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What does 'guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment' mean?

It means the flame-retardant properties are intended to last throughout the jacket's usable lifespan, provided it is cared for according to instructions.

Are the reflective strips safe to iron over?

It is recommended to iron on a medium heat setting and avoid direct ironing on the reflective tape. Ironing the garment inside out is often preferred to protect embellishments.

What are the benefits of the anti-static feature?

The anti-static feature helps to dissipate static electricity, reducing the risk of sparks and potential ignition in hazardous environments.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not providing adequate warmth.

Ensure the inner waist adjustment is snug to prevent drafts. Verify that the detachable hood is attached if extra head warmth is needed. Check if the filling material is intact and not compressed.

Reflective tape appears to be peeling or damaged.

Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing. If damage is significant, professional repair or replacement might be necessary, though the tape is designed for durability.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear and not caught. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. For stubborn zippers, a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) applied to the teeth can help. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Garment loses flame-resistant properties over time.

Adhere strictly to the recommended care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the flame-resistant treatments. Wash only with similar colors and appropriate detergents.
