How do I ensure the water-repellent finish lasts?

The water-repellent finish is reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat setting after washing. Follow the specific wash care instructions, including the limit of 20 washes.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

The jacket meets EN 342:2017 cold protection standards, particularly when combined with specific other garments like styles 71455 & 71456. For extreme cold, layering may be necessary.

What materials are used in the jacket's construction?

Are there specific instructions for washing the jacket?

Where can I find the ID card loop?

The ID card loop is located on the inside or chest area of the jacket, designed for easy access and secure display of identification.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as water-repellent as expected.

Ensure the jacket has been tumble dried on low heat after washing, as this reactivates the water-repellent treatment. Check wash care instructions for maximum wash cycles.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If persistent, check for debris and clean gently. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Seams appear to be leaking water.

Verify the jacket meets the EN 343 Class 3,1 standard. For severe issues, contact customer support. Ensure proper washing and drying methods are followed.

Reflective stripes are peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat ironing and harsh chemical cleaners. Gentle washing and air drying or low-heat tumble drying are recommended. If damage is severe, it may affect visibility ratings.
