FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the quilt lining and Insulatex lining provide good thermal insulation for cold weather. For extremely low temperatures, layering with additional thermal garments is recommended.

What is the level of waterproofing?

The jacket features an extremely water-resistant fabric finish and is waterproof with taped seams, tested to EN 343 Class 3:1 standards, offering 10,000mm water resistance.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket has a total of 10 pockets, including internal pockets for secure storage and a dedicated phone pocket.

Can this jacket be used for high-visibility requirements?

The jacket includes reflective trim for increased visibility, but it is not certified as a high-visibility garment for all safety standards. Always check specific workplace requirements.

What material is the jacket made of?

The shell is 100% Polyester TPU (175g), the lining is 100% Polyester Taffeta (190T, 52g), and the filling is 100% Polyester (140g for body, 60g for sleeves).

How should I wash and care for the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. Do not iron or dry clean.

What does 'ergonomic shaping' mean for the fit?

Ergonomic shaping means the jacket is designed to follow the natural contours of the body, allowing for greater freedom of movement and a more comfortable fit during activity.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through seams

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the garment has not been damaged. Check the care instructions; improper washing or drying may affect waterproofing.

Jacket feels too warm

The jacket is designed for warmth and water protection. For milder conditions, consider unzipping for ventilation or wearing lighter layers underneath. Ensure adjustable features are not overly tightened.

Zipper is stiff

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth.

Fit is uncomfortable

Adjust the drawcords at the waist and hem, and use the touch tape on the storm cuffs for a personalized fit. Consult the sizing chart before purchase if unsure.
